INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued

NOTE:

  When using thread compound, use very small 

amounts on male threads only.  Use a pipe thread 

compound that is not affected by the chemical action of 

LP gases (i.e. propane, G31) (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is 

one such compound).  DO NOT apply compound to the 

first two threads.  This will ensure that the burner orifices 

and control valve do not become clogged.  

2.  Open the gas supply to the cooker and check all piping, 

fittings, and gas connections for leaks.  A soap solution 

should be used for this purpose.

 DANGER

Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source 

to check for leaks.  If gas odors are detected, shut off the 

gas supply to the cooker at the main shut-off valve and 

contact the local gas company or an authorized service 

agency for service.

3.  Close the cooker drain valve and fill the cookpot with 

water and detergent.  Light the cooker and perform the 

boil-out procedures that are described in the “Boiling Out 

the Cookpot” section.

WARNING

“Dry-firing” this equipment will cause damage to the 

cookpot.  Always ensure that water is in the cookpot 

before firing your unit.

4.  It is recommended that the burner gas pressure be 

checked at this time by the local gas company or an 

authorized service agent.  Refer to “Adjusting the Burner 

Gas Pressure” section of this manual for the proper 

procedure.  The accompanying tables list the burner gas 

pressures for the various gas types that can be used with 

this equipment.

Converting to Another Gas Type

 DANGER

Your cooker is configured at the factory for a specific 

type of gas.  If you desire to switch from one type of gas 

to another, specific gas-conversion components must be 

installed.
Switching to a different type of gas without installing 

the proper conversion components may result in fire or 

explosion!  NEVER attach your cooker to a gas supply for 

which it is not configured.
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to 

another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, 

and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as 

defined in section - Installation, Operating and Service 

Personnel.
