Instructions / Assembly

A. Before installing this unit, check the MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES section to ensure that the

surrounding area is properly sized for the installation.

B. The unit is for outdoor use only. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other

enclosed area, including recreational vehicles and/or boats. This unit must be installed in such a manner

that the vent opening at the base of the unit remains clear and free of all obstructions at all times and

during all weather conditions.

C. CHECK GAS TYPE (natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use may not be the same as that

stated on the unit rating plate as purchased. If the gas supply is different, convert the unit to the gas type

you intend to use. See the CONVERTING TO A DIFFERENT GAS TYPE SECTION. If you are unsure,

contact the dealer for assistance. ONLY MANUAL UNITS ARE CONVERTIBLE.

D. D. FOR NATURAL GAS: The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is S-S'

water column (W.C.), and the maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5 " W.C. FOR PROPANE: The

minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 8" W.C., and the maximum inlet

gas-supply pressure is 13" W.C. DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM PRESSURE IS NOT

AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS EXCEEDED.

E. FOR PROPANE: The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 8Ü W.C., and

the maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is IT W.C. DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM PRESSURE IS

NOT AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS EXCEEDED.

F. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr).

Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long.

G. For installations at elevations above 2,000 ft., contact your local dealer or gas supplier before installing. Input

ratings should be reduced approximately 4% for each 1,000 ft. above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas

Code.

H. The unit and its individual shutoff 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 (3.5 KPA).This is accomplished by closing

the gas-supply line valve. The unit 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 1/2 psi (3.5 KPA).

I. INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed if service is required.

GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe fittings. Make sure to tighten every

joint securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to connect flare fittings. Bring the gas-supply pipe up from

beneath the enclosure near its center (if applicable).

CAUTION

Installation and maintenance must be done by an NFI Certified or other qualified professional

installer. Installer read these instructions before installing this product. Be sure you understand

all safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual.

NOTE:

An external on/off valve in the gas line is required for safety when the unit is not in use.

It also provides for convenient maintenance and repair.
