Heat Deflector Installation
If the appliance requires a heat deflector, you will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the unit. This
label has instructions for positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label and the instructions
below to install the deflector.
a.
Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, back area of the appliance.
b.
Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the front of
appliance. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the two previously removed
fasteners.
c.
When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue
opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Never allow anything to
block the flue opening; this will cause the appliance to over heat and inhibit proper combustion,
which could produce dangerous gases
Installation
If you have completed the above steps that are applicable to the appliance you purchased, the appliance is now
ready to be installed. Although it may be possible for you to install and set up your new appliance, it is
STRONGLY recommended that you have this done by qualified professionals. A qualified professional will
ensure that the installation is safe and meets local building and fire codes.
WARNING
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion, ventilation or air openings around the appliance.
Adequate clearance around the appliance is necessary for servicing and proper burner
operation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearance requirements specified in this
manual.
Installation Clearances
The clearances shown below are for combustible and non-combustible installations and will allow for safe and
proper
operation of your appliance.

In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 28 in (71.2cm) of aisle space in front of the unit.
Gas Connection
Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide
the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel
Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and NFPA 54 (latest editions). In Canada, install the appliance in accordance
with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified
installation professional, your local gas company or by referring to the National Gas Fuel Code,
Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large
enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any
appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a minimum supply pressure of 7.0 ± 2.0
inches w.c. (17.4 ± 5 mbar) for natural gas and 12.0 ± 2.0 inches w.c. (29.9 ± 5 mbar) for propane gas
to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. Each
appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is
intended to operate is stamped on the data plate
.
