CONNECTION

Natural Gas Grills

Gas Leaks Checks

Before operating your grill, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight
and there are no gas leaks. Never use a match or fl ame for leak detection. Use soapy
water or testing solution. Brush the solution on to connection points and look closely
for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply
valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.

ƽ CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff 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 (14” wc).

ƽ CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(14” wc).

ƽ WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas

leaks! Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily
injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage
to property.

IMPORTANT

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/
CGA-B149.1; Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

IMPORTANT

When connecting or replacing any gas pipe or fi ttings, all joints must be
sealed with leak-proof sealing compound approved for use with natural and
propane gases. After making connections, check all joints for leaks using
soapy water and a brush.

ƽ WARNING: Your Ducane

grill was not designed to operate

with the Rotisserie Burner and the Main Burner(s) on at the
same time. Failure to follow this warning will lead to an over-
heating condition which would damage grill components
and cause bodily harm.

ƽ WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel sup-

ply hose away from any heated surfaces.

Lighting Your Grill

ƽ WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to

inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can be
accessed through the cabinet doors on a 24” Three Burner
Model, and through the cabinet drawer on the 32” Five
Burner Model. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced with a
manufacturer recommended part prior to the appliance be-
ing put into operation.

Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose as-
sembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose.

ƽ DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion

any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the
lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious
bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing
damage to property.

IMPORTANT

If an external electrical source is used it must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
