each tank refill.

• Never check for leaks using a match or open flame.

CAUTION: Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of

propane. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.

• Always keep your gas grill free and clear of gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner, or other

flammable vapors and liquids or combustible materials.

• Always check the grill prior to each use as indicated in the "Pre-Start Check List" section of

this manual.

SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

GENERAL WARNINGS

WARNING

• DO NOT use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this type of grill to a natural gas source.

Use only hose specified by manufacturer. Using hard metal piping or convoluted metal tubing is

an unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can cause breakage of metal pipe.

• The appliance 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 psi (3.5 kPa).

• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual

manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

• This grill is designed for natural gas use at 7 inch water column supply pressure. Verify supply

pressure with your local gas company. Not for use with LP gas.

• Connections to gas source must be performed by a certified plumber.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:

All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:

• National Fuel Gas Code,

• ANSI Z223.1 1988 or latest edition (USA)

• Natural Gas Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1 (Canada)

• Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)

To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company. This grill was not

intended to be connected to a LP gas cylinder. If an external electrical source is utilized, it must be

electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1.

• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage, shed

or breezeway.

• Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to

prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. Although minimum clearance

is 36 inches (91 cm), we strongly recommend that you do not operate this appliance within 10 ft.

(3.0 m) of any structure, combustible material or extra LP gas cylinders not attached to the

appliance. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the

risk of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.

• Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides of grill, deck railings, walls or

other combustible material. DO NOT use grill under overhead unprotected combustible

construction.

• DO NOT use or install this grill in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.

• Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on

“Leak Testing” in this manual for proper procedures.

• Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear or

deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your grill. Only the Brinkmann

supplied replacement should be used.

WARNING

CONNECTING YOUR GRILL TO THE NATURAL GAS SOURCE

1. Coat pipe nipple with gas resistant teflon tape or pipe dope. Tighten quick-disconnect coupling onto

pipe nipple that leads to natural gas supply (Figure A).

2. After grill is completely assembled, make sure natural gas supply valve is “OFF” and then connect

natural gas hose to socket. Push sleeve back on socket (Figure B) and insert plug until sleeve snaps
