INSTALLATION

1.4. GAS CONNECTION

Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and NFPA 54 (latest editions). In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified installation professional, your local gas company or by referring to the National Gas Fuel Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars, 1.74kPa) and 10.0”W.C. (24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0”W.C. (27.4mbars, 2.74kPa) and 13.0” W.C. (32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI.

Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.

WARNING NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in serious injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the dealer

ou purchased it from.

NOTICE NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance and improper operation.

1.4.1. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 latest edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9 latest edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the movement of the appliance. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance on the back panel.

1.4.2. FUEL SUPPLY LINE LEAK AND PRESSURE TESTING The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than ½ PISG (3.45 kPa), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa), the appliance can be connected during the test, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.

1.6. VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS

Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system sho uld be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Ventilation and fire safety systems must comply to local and national codes. Refer to ANSI

83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. For installations in U.S. and Canada, additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit their website at www.csa-international.org.

It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate appliance all emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (45.72cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.

it should be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

WARNING Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block the flue in any way. Never place a grease condensating drip pan over the flue opening.

WARNING NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.
