Instructions for Installer (Gas Fitter)

Gas Conversion Kits

The NewAge grill comes factory set for use with Natural Gas. To use Propane, a conversion kit must be
installed. It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for. The gas conversion
kit should be installed by a qualified technician. The kits come with complete installation instructions.
These instructions should be read completely and fully understood before installing the conversion kit. Any
other kit or orifices used that are not of NewAge brand, will automatically void any warranty on the unit.
Furthermore, it is important to understand that where ever there is a burner, there is an orifice that will need
to be changed (do not forget the rotisserie).
Gas Line Purging
You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the grill.
• Make sure all grill controls are in the "OFF" position.
• Slowly turn on the main gas supply.
• Open the lid for the entire purging procedure.
• Push in the control knobs (do not turn)for the rotisserie burner and the burner on the furthest right for
about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. These are furthest from the fuel source and will
completely purge the lines. Release the control knobs.Wait at least 5 minutes after releasing the control
before attempting to light the burners.
Gas Hook-Up Instructions
BUILT IN PROPANE GAS HOOK-UP:
The piping up to the gas grill is the responsibility of the installer
and piping should be located as shown in the built-in instructions. Do not use a hose to connect the unit
except to connect the cylinder regulator to the piping system. It must be connected with rigid pipe, copper
tube or an approved flexible metal connector which complies with Z21.24/ CSA 6.10 or ANS Z21.75/CSA
6.27.
The installation must comply with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or
to the National Fuel Gas code, ANS Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently
sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the piping run. If installing
a side burner, a separate line must be branched off to the side burner unit and enter the side burner
opening at the specified location. If the enclosure is to house a propane cylinder, the tank portion of the
enclosure must be ventilated according to local codes, and must not have communication with the cavity
used to enclose the gas grill. A propane cylinder can not be stored below the gas grill.
BUILT IN CYLINDER ENCLOSURES:
Built in cylinder enclosures which completely enclose the cylinder
must have both of the following:
1. At least one unobstructed ventilation opening on the exposed exterior side of the enclosure located
within 5 in (127mm) of the top of the enclosure. The opening must have a total free area of more than 20
in2 (130 cm2) for a 20 lb (9.1 kg) cylinder and 30 in2(195 cm2) for a 30 lb (13.6 kg) cylinder.
2. At least one ventilation opening on the exposed, exterior side of the enclosure located 1 in (25.4 mm) or
less from the floor level. The opening must have a total free area of more than 10 in2
(65 cm2) for a 20 lb(9.1 kg) cylinder and 15 in2(100 cm2) for a 30 lb (13.6 kg) cylinder. The upper edge must
be no more than 5 in (127 mm) above the floor level.
Every opening must be large enough to permit the entrance of a 1/8 in (3.2 mm) rod.

• The cylinder valve(s) must be readily accessible for hand operation. A door on the enclosure to
gain access to the cylinder valves is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened
without the use of tools.
• The enclosure for the LP-gas cylinder must isolate the cylinder from the burner compartment
to provide shielding from radiation, a flame barrier, and protection from foreign material, such
as hot drippings. The enclosure cannot be located directly below the grill.
• There must be a minimum clearence of 2 in(51 mm) between the floor of the LP-gas
encloseure and the ground.
• The enclosure must be designed so that the LP-gas cylinder can be connected, disconnected
and the connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure. Any connections
that can be disturbed when installing the cylinder in the enclosure must be accessible for
testing inside the enclosure.
• Only 1 max 20 lbs tank in service should be used with the grill.
