If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner venturi pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over the orifice.

WARNING: Failure to inspect this

connection or follow these instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause death, serious bodily injury, or damage to property.

2. Please refer to diagram for proper installation. (Figure 1 and 2)

3. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

2. Make sure control knobs are “OFF”. (Figure 3)

3. Turn “ON” natural gas main valve.

4. Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations (Figure 4)

a. If any bubbles appear turn natural gas line valve

to “CLOSED”, reconnect and re-test.

b. If you continue to see bubbles after several

attempts, turn natural gas line valve to “CLOSED” and disconnect natural gas line and contact

1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

c. If no bubbles appear after one minute turn natural

gas line valve to “CLOSED”, wipe away solution and proceed.

Operating Main Burners

First Use
