SECTION 3: SITE PREPARATION
BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
Determine a suitable location for the barbecue by taking into account exposure to wind and availability of gas and
electrical supplies. Exposure to wind should be minimized, as wind can adversely affect cooking performance. Insure
that the gas supply line and electrical supply are located in close proximity to the unit to keep connections to the
unit as short as possible and allow for installation and removal of the unit from the enclosure. Allow adequate area
around the unit for dissipation of smoke produced during cooking.
CABINET PREPARATION
The models CGBD30, CGBD36 and CGBD48 are designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures. For
noncombustible applications, the barbecue drops into the opening shown in Figures 3 and Fig. 4, (below). A ledge
is required to support the barbecue from the bottom. Models CGBD36 and CGBD48 also require a ledge in the
center of the opening to support the middle of the unit. The supporting ledges must be level and flat. The counter
top should also be level.
It is recommended that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure in the event of a gas leak. The installer-
supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location.

5. From behind the unit, remove the louvered cover on
the infrared rotis burner housing.
All Models are manufactured at the factory for use with
natural gas, and as such require conversion for use with an
LP gas supply. The conversion should be done by a qualified
technician or your gas supplier. All orifices required for
conversion are provided with the units. The following steps
are necessary to convert for LP operation -
6. Locate the infrared burner orifice and remove. Replace
with the LP orifice supplied (marked 59).
7. Locate the smoker burner. Slide the orifice out of the
burnerandremove. ReplacewiththeLPorificesupplied
(marked 73). Reinstall the orifice into the burner.
1. Make sure that the unit is disconnected from the gas and
electrical supplies.
8. On Model CGBD48RSBX, convert the side burners for
LP operation as follows:
2. Remove the grill grates and radiants. Unbolt the main
burners from their attachment at the rear of the burner
box and remove.
A. Removethegrate,burnercaps,venturisandburner
bases. See Fig. 6.
B. Remove the burner orifices. Use a 7mm hex socket
on a 3" ratchet extension and apply a piece of tape
to the socket to hold the orifice in the socket while
removing. See Fig. 7A.
3. Remove the knobs and control panel from the unit.
4. Locate the main burner orifices. From inside control
panel area, locate the brass elbows that the orifices are
attached to. Use a wrench on the flats of these elbows
to keep them from turning during orifice removal and
installation.Removethemainburnerorificesandreplace
with the LP orifices supplied (marked 54). Do not over-
tighten orifices. Orifice must extend a minimum of 1/8"
into main burner air shutter with burner installed. Make
sure burner will not disengage from orifice.
C. Replace with the LP orifices supplied (number 115).
Tighten until snug. See Fig 7B.

SECTION 6:TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
All points of connection to the gas supply should be
checked for leaks at time of installation or anytime
you smell gas. It is also advisable to recheck them
periodically. Follow the steps outlined below:
manifold. Bubbles will form where a leak exists.
C. If a leak is present, shut off the gas at the supply.
Tighten any leaking fittings, turn on the gas and
recheck.
A. Makeasoapsolutionofonepartliquiddetergent

D. If the unit has been converted for use with an
alternate gas, make sure the technician checks
forleaksatallpointsofconnectioninthecontrol
panel area and at the infrared burner prior to
reassemblyofthecontrolpanelandcover(Refer
to NG to LP Conversion, instructions in Section
5).
B. Make sure all controls are in the "OFF" position.
Turn on the gas supply to the unit. Use a spray
bottle, brush or rag to apply the solution to all
fittings and points of connection from the supply
stub out up to and including the inlet to the
BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT
All burners are adjusted for proper flame
characteristics at time of assembly. If the unit has
been converted for use with alternate gas supply,
some adjustment of the air shutter on the main
burner may be necessary. Refer to Figure 14. If
adjustment is required, loosen the screw on the air
shutter and close or open shutter as required to
achieve proper flame characteristics. Tighten the
screw after adjustment.
All burners should exhibit flames which are blue and
stable, with no yellow-tipping, lifting or excessive
noise when operating on either natural or LP gases.
See Figure 8 for pictorial representation of proper
flame characteristics.
Figure 14
If any of the flame characteristics noted above are
observed, check the burner for dirt or residue in
the ports, spider webs, etc., and clean or repair as
