CHECK GAS TYPE
Check the rating plate to verify the type of gas your

can be found on the metal instruction tag attached
to the chimenea burner pan. If your appliance is
not equipped for the supply gas available, call
the dealer where you purchased the chimenea to
obtain a properly equipped model or an approved
conversion kit for your type of gas supply.
Propane/LP gas versions are supplied with a two
stage external regulator with a 10 foot (3 m) hose
assembly for ready connection to a properly sized,
(DOT or CAN/CSA B339) approved propane/LP
supply tank. This tank can be purchased from
your propane/LP or builder supplier. See
Sizing
Propane/LP Supply Tank
, page 10.
Natural gas versions must be provided with an
equipment shutoff valve installed in the supply
line upstream of the manual control valve provided
with the chimenea. A model GA5010 gas equip
