GAS CONNECTION
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the rating plate
agrees with that of the supply. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-
off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or
in the absence of local codes, with the National electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the National Fuel Code, ANSI
Z223.1. In Canada: Installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation
Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code and/or local codes. All pipe sealants must be an approved type
and resistant to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by
a competent technician and in accordance with local codes and or ordinances. In the absence of codes, the installation
must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
The gas burner and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The unit must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
BURNER ADJUSTMENT
There is no burner adjustment for the infrared burner. Once heated, the flames should glow a bright red color.

LP/PROPANE TANK CONNECTION
Outdoor side burners orificed for use with LP/Propane gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly
equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 connector.
for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder
Hose assembly must
comply with Elastomeric Composite Hose and Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA-8.1 standard
or the Theromplastic Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas CAN1-8.3 standard (See
LP/Propane tank requirements below). Each tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
Connection: 1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT male with a 3/8” (.95) flare adapter
Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.P.
To connect to LP/Propane regulator/hose assembly:
Although the flow of gas is stopped when the connector is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you should
always turn the LP/Propane tank main valve “OFF” after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. First
connect the regulator to the grill unit by screwing the 3/8” flare coupling to the 3/8” flare adapter. Connect to the
tank valve by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank. Open the tank valve and check the
connection between the regulator and the Type 1, QCC-1 fitting for leaks with a soapy water solution. If bubbles

LP/PROPANE TANK REQUIREMENTS
A dented or rusty LP/Propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your tank supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. All tanks should be equipped with an OPD (overfilling protection device). This is a DOT
requirement for all tanks purchased after October 1, 1998 and will ensure that the tank is not overfilled. The LP/Propane
tank should be a standard 5-gal, 20 lb. gas cylinder tank approximately 12” in diameter and 18” high which must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP/Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission. The cylinder connection device must be compatible with the Type
1, QCC-1 connector on the outdoor cooking appliance. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in
an LP/Propane gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed from the appliance. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Each
tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-vented area out of the reach of children.

LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure unknowingly being
applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all flames.
2. Never leak test with an open flame.
3. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or towel to apply
the solution to the fittings. For LP/Propane units, check with a full cylinder.
4. Check that all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
5. Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
6. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.
7. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should become damaged. The cylinder must be replaced.
8. If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call an
authorized gas appliance service technician or LP/Propane gas dealer. Do not use the grill until the leak is corrected.
9. After checking for leaks, push in and turn any control knob to release the pressure in the hose and manifold. Turn off the
control knob.
CAUTION
Before placing into operation, always check for gas
leaks with a soapy water solution. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
1. A minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) from the sides must be maintained from the side of the burner above the cooking surface to
adjacent vertical combustible surfaces. The unit is not to be located under overhead unprotected combustible surfaces.
2. It is desirable to allow at least 6” side clearance to non-combustible surfaces above the cooking surface for counter space.
3. When determining a suitable location for the unit, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic
paths and keeping gas supply lines as short as possible. Locate only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate in a building,
garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas.
IMPORTANT: Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valve must be easily accessiblee.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment is no
TM
exception. Your TruSear Infrared Burner must be kept clean and maintained properly.
TruSear Infrared Grill Burner
When finished cooking, turn the control knob to the “HI” setting and allow the burner to burn for Five
Minutes. This helps to eliminate any drippings or debris that would otherwise remain on the burner, degrading the
performance and reducing burner life. After the five minute burn-off time, turn the grill OFF and allow to cool
completely before attempting to clean or move. Wipe excess grease and food from grill surfaces.
NOTE: When the TruSear infrared griller is not use, it must be covered with the provided stainlesss steel cover for protection from
outside elements such as rain.
CAUTION
•Do not use a metal knife or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel parts.
•Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces, as citric acid will
permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths on stainless steel, painted parts or
brass parts.
•Do not use brass cleaners on the brass option parts. They are coated with an epoxy coating.
Stainless Steel* Parts
Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic
Drip Tray
The drip tray pans should be removed and cleaned
protective wrap which must be peeled off. Do not expose
protective plastic film on the stainless steel to heat or direct
sunlight. It could melt onto the stainless steel parts and
become difficult to remove. The interior should be washed
thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and
any dust or debris before being used, then rinsed and wiped
dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely
needed.
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with
hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this
material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive
cloths, cleansers, or powders! If it is necessary to scrape
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot,
wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wool or nylon
scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other
material tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost
impossible to remove.
after each use. Allow the drippings in the the drip tray
pans to cool completely before removing. To remove the
drip tray pans, simply remove the pans from the tray. Place
the trays in hot, soapy water to clean. Wipe up any debris
that may have collected in the drip tray with a hot, soapy
towel. Dry and replace drip tray pans before next use.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Only authorized replacement parts may be used in performing
service on the side burners. Do not repair or replace any part of
the outdoor grill unless specifically recommended in the manual.
All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
*Under rare conditions, such as an extremely salty
environment, small amounts of rust may accumulate on
stainless steel parts. These small amounts of surface
rust can easily be removed by applying Soft Scrub®
Gel to a damp sponge and wiping with the stainless
steel grain. It is important to make sure you wipe with
the grain for the most efficient removal of surface rust.
