WARNING
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a
dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by
smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and
install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Appliance Pressure Regulator Conversion
The unit appliance pressure regulator must be set to
match the type gas supply used. If converting from natural
gas to LP gas, the appliance pressure regulator must be
converted to regulate LP gas. If converting from LP gas to
natural gas, the appliance pressure regulator must be
converted to regulate natural gas.
