ASSEMBLY
Install and tighten the four screws.
Finally, install the vent starter section in the rear
vent position. Again, make sure that the inner and
outer gaskets are in their proper positions and in-
stall and tighten the four screws.
Replace the stove back plate by aligning the rear
vent cut-out over the vent starter pipe. Next align
the three tabs on the bottom of the back plate with
the corresponding slots in the stove base plate. If
the fit is tight, work from one side to the other, en-
gaging the tabs sequentially. Once the tabs are en-
gaged, re-install the two fasteners that secure the
top of the back plate.
Reinstall the top plate using the four decorative fas-
teners.
A filler plate is provided for the vent cut-out in the
top plate. The filler plate is located in the acces-
sory box that was included with the stove. Once
you have re-installed the top plate, simply drop the
filler plate in place.
PRIMARY AIR ADJUSTER
Your GABO gas stove was shipped from the factory equipped for use with natural gas and the primary
burner air adjuster was set at the factory at the recommended position fully closed position for that fuel.
However, it is a good idea to confirm that the position is correctly set. The fully-closed position corre-
sponds to the adjuster screw turned in fully.
If you will be using propane (LPG) for your
installation, please see the instructions for fuel
conversion on pages 23 & 24 of this manual.
This includes instructions for the proper set-
ting for the primary air adjuster. See the illus-
tration below for the location of the primary
air adjuster screw.
Making small adjustments to the primary air
setting will let you adjust the way the flames
look for your particular installation. See the
reference to primary air adjustment in the sec-
tions on page 20 that explains fine-tuning.
GAS CONNECTION
The GABO is shipped from the factory with a flexible gas connector that has a 1/2” NPT female connec-
tion. The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shut-off valve and a 1/8” NPT plugged tapping up-
stream of the valve. The GABO and its inlet regulator and main burner valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
(3.5kPa). The GABO must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the main control valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
After the gas supply has been connected, use a commercial gas leak detector or apply a soapy water solu-
tion to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use a flame to test for leaks.
