Natural Gas Safety Instructions
Figure 1 (Natural gas model only)
IMPORTANT: your Kenmore Natural Gas Grill cannot
be converted to use LP Gas. Attempting to do so
is extremely hazardous and will also void the grill
warranty.
• Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on
natural gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column
(W.C.) (1/4 psi or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the
residential meter. Check with your gas utility
company for local gas pressure and with your
local municipality for building code requirements. If
your residential gas line pressure has not been
regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility
company for professional assistance.
• It is recommended that a Shutoff Valve be installed
at the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point
after the gas pipe exits the outside wall and before
the quick-disconnect hose, or install it at the point
before the gas line piping enters the ground.
See Fig. 1.
• Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant
to the action of natural gas must be used on all male
pipe threads when making the connection.
GAS SUPPLY
• Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when
the gas supply is being tested at high pressures.
This gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system
during any pressure testing of that system at
pressure in excess of 1/2 pst (3.5kpa).
•
• Turn off your gas grill when the gas supply is
being tested at low pressures. The grill must be
isolated from the gas supply pipe system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe
system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.5kpa).
