Gas requirements and hookup

9 CAUTION
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 (3.5kPa.).
9 WARNING
DO NOT use a flame of any kind to check for gas
leaks.
9 CAUTION
When connecting unit to propane gas, make certain
the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high
pressure regulator in addition to the pressure
regulator supplied with the appliance. The pressure of
the gas supplied to the appliance regulator must not
exceed 14" water column (34.9 mb).
Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site.
Make certain the range matches the type of gas available
at this location.
The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent
technician and in accordance with local codes or
ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation
