installed is compatible with the available gas type.
Any natural or propane gas conversions necessary to meet
the appliance and locality needs must be made by a quali-
fi ed technician using Hearth & Home Technologies speci-
fi ed and approved parts.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in the table
below.
Note:
Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes, if any. If not, follow
ANSI

pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
Low pressure may cause explosion.
