RUBY SERIES GRILLS GAS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH LIQUID PROPANE TO NATURAL GAS OR NATURAL GAS TO LIQUID PROPANE Understanding Gas Appliance Conversions Making changes to an appliance so that it can utilize a different fuel is known as appliance conversion. The inner Valves and Orifices are designed to work with a gas that has a specific pressure. Natural gas is a much lower pressure gas than propane and converting the appliance to one or the other gases requires that the differing pressure is compensated for. In other words, connecting a natural gas appliance to a propane piping system will result in appliance malfunction and possibly danger. The reason for this is because natural gas orifices are larger than propane orifices strictly because of gas service pressure. In this case, the higher-pressure gas flowing through a larger orifice will result in more gas through the burner and likely, more flame...an unnecessarily large flame. Conversely, trying to use a propane appliance with natural gas will likely result in a very small flame or no burner flame at all because of the lower pressure gas and the smaller orifice. This is the purpose of an appliance conversion from propane to natural gas or from natural gas to propane. To installer or person assembling grill: Leave this manual with grill for future reference. To consumer: Keep this manual for future reference.

FIRST TIME STARTUP CHECKLIST All Valves are securely fastened on! Installation of the proper gas type and regulator settings specific for your new Gas Type! The proper gas connection is complete! Gas Leak Test has been performed! At Least Two Vents have been installed in High Position for Natural Gas and Low Position for Liquid Propane! All parts and components are properly in installed. An installer-supplied manual gas shut-off valve is fully accessible. LP hose is clean and inspected for cuts, wear, abrasion, or leaks. Replace if necessary, with a suitable UL, ETL or CSA Listed part with internally threaded connector.
