Dust or Grease Accumulation
Heavy accumulations of dust or grease can cause the
control to malfunction. Where dust or grease can be a
problem, provide covers for the control to limit
contamination.
Heat
Excessively high temperatures can damage the control.
Make sure the maximum ambient temperature at the
control does not exceed the rating of the control. If the
appliance operates at very high temperatures, use
insulation, shielding, and air circulation, as necessary, to
protect the control. Proper insulation or shielding should
be provided by the appliance manufacturer; verify proper
air circulation is maintained when the appliance is
installed.

converting from natural to LP gas or from LP to
natural gas. Carefully follow appliance
manufacturer specifications and instructions to

2. Gas controls are factory-set for natural (and
manufactured) or LP gas. Do not attempt to use
a gas control set for natural (manufactured) gas
on LP gas, or a gas control set for LP gas on
natural (manufactured) gas.
