purchased. A Natural Gas appliance requires natural gas to operate; an LP appliance requires liquid
propane gas to operate.
Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply line. Appliances operated without a regulator
are unsafe and will not be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation without a gas
regulator will void the warranty of the appliance.
Appliances operated with NG (natural gas) gas must be installed with the NG regulator supplied with the
unit and set to 4.0" water column pressure.
Appliances operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be installed with an LP regulator set to 11" water
column pressure.
Please contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert your appliance to the
different gas type.
The self-contained LP system appliance is design certified to be used with a standard 20 lb., 12 1/4" diameter;
18" high cylinder with right handed connection threads and this is the maximum size LP tank to be used. The
cylinder must be marked in accordance with the latest U.S. Department of Transportation specifications for LP
gas cylinders. (DOT. CFR49 or National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B359 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
the Transportation of Dangerous Goods) a Propane Tank with an ODP) Overfill Prevention Device) must be used
at all times.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply.
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, to the national
fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the standard CAN/CGA-
B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
A licensed contractor or local gas company representative must perform all natural gas connections.
Ensure that the service supplying the appliance is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned near the
appliance and giving ease of access.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5
kPa).
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is
disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
