9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Massachusetts installations
1. Installation must be performed by a qualified or
licensed contractor, plumber, or gas fitter qualified or
licensed by the state, province or region.
2. Shut-off valve must be a "T" handle gas cock.
3. Flexible gas connector must not be longer than 36
inches.
The following must be met when testing supply piping
system:
•
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system at
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
•
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/ 2 psig (3.5 kPa).
CAUTION
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain
the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high
pressure regulator. The maximum gas pressure to this
appliance is not to exceed 14.0 inches water column
(3.5 kPa) from the propane gas tank regulator.
The minimum propane (LP) gas supply pressure for the
checking of the gas appliance pressure regulator, when
converted for use with propane gas, must be between 11
inches water column (2.7 kPa) and 14 inches water column
(3.5 kPa). Please refer to page 9 on to how to properly
convert the gas pressure regulator for use with propane
(LP) gas.
WARNING
Never leave the gas conversion partially completed. If the
appliance is operated while the gas conversion is
incomplete, high levels of carbon monoxide may be
emitted, or a fire or explosion may occur, causing property
damage, personal injury, or death.
Save the original natural gas orifices removed from the
appliance for future use. Make sure that you carefully mark
and label these orifices, indicating the correspondent
burner from which they were removed.
To convert the appliance back for use with natural gas,
follow these instructions exactly, but replacing the
propane gas orifices with the original natural gas ones.
Carefully match their correspondent burners as previously
marked and labeled.
To the service agent
It is important that you know the following BEFORE you
begin the conversion of the appliance.
•
Confirm that the gas supply system is available and
ready to use. This is particularly important for new
construction.
•
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure
that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for
which it is certified.
•
You must plan for sufficient time and resources to
perform the conversion process properly and
completely before leaving the job site. Every step
described in these instructions must be performed to
safely convert the appliance for proper operation with
propane (LP) gas. INCOMPLETE OR INADEQUATE
CONVERSION OF THE APPLIANCE CAN CREATE A
SAFETY HAZARD.
