WARNING
Electronic models of these appliances are equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug utilized in connecting the electronic components to the junction box in the lower
compartment. This grounding plug provides protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.

Connect the Gas Line
All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line.
Figure 35
illustrates two methods for connecting the
gas supply. The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements vary depending on
locality. Installation must be in compliance with local codes.
NOTE: Ensure the CPI/IPI switch is set to intermittent mode with the pilot in the OFF position. See control
compartment door label for more information.
NOTE: A sediment trap is recommended in the gas piping within the home to prevent moisture and debris in the line
from damaging the valve.
NOTE: Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds
are used in propane applications). Seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage. Gas line holes and other
openings can be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
