hazardous condition.
•
Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the AF-1000 Gas Control is suitable for your
application.
•
Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
•
After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions
.
Oxygen depletion hazard. Can cause injury or death due to asphyxiation.
1. Use only vented gas pilot assemblies on vented appliances.
2.
Use only unvented pilot assemblies on unvented appliances.
Fire or explosion hazard. Can cause property damage, servere injury or death. Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Disconnect power before wiring to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumlation of fuel gas, turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve before starting installation,
and perform a Gas Leak Test after installation is complete.
3. Always install the sediment tap in the gas supply line to prevent contamination of the gas control.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any tools. If the gas control
knob does not operate by hand, a qualified service technician should replace the gas control. Force or any attempt to repair
the gas control valve can result in fire or explosion.
Location:
Locate the AF-1000 gas control where it cannot be affected by steam cleaning, high humidity, dripping water, corrosive
chemicals, dust or grease accumulation or excessive heat. To assure proper operation, follow these guidelines:
1. Locate gas control in well-ventilated area.
2. Mount gas control high enough to avoid exposure to flooding or splashing water.
3. Assure the ambient temperature does not exceed the ambient temperature ratings for each component.
4. Cover gas control if appliance is cleaned with water, steam, or chemicals or to avoid dust and grease accumulation.
5. Avoid locating gas control where exposure to corrosive chemical fumes or dripping water is likely.
Install Piping to Gas Control
All piping must comply with the local codes and ordinances or with the
National Fuel code (ANSI Z223.1 NFPA No. 54) which ever applies.
Tubing installation must comply with approved standards and practices.
1. Use new, properly reamed pipe free from chips, When tubing is used,
assure the ends are square, deburred and clean. All tubing bends
must be smooth and without deformation.
2. Run pipe or tubing to the control. If tubing is used, obtain a tube-to-pipe
coupling to connect the tubing to the control.
3. Install sediment trap in the supply line to the gas control. See Figure #1
Gas Leakage Hazard. Failure to follow precautions can result in a
gas-filled work area.
Shut off the main gas supply before removing end cap. Test for gas leakage
when installation is complete.
