Improper installation, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage,
injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions
thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
TO THE PURCHASER
Post in a prominent location the instructions
to be followed in the event that an operator
smells gas. Obtain this information from
your local gas supplier.
WARNING
There is an open flame inside this appliance.
The unit may get hot enough to set nearby
materials on fire. Keep the area around the
appliance free from combustibles.
WARNING
DO NOT supply the appliance with a gas
that is not indicated on the data plate. If you
need to convert the appliance to another
type of fuel, contact your dealer.
WARNING
DO NOT use an open flame to check for
gas leaks!
WARNING
If gas flow to appliance is interrupted, or pilots
extinguish, wait 5 minutes before attempting to
relight the pilot to allow any residual gas in
appliance to dissipate.
WARNING
Ensure that the appliance can get enough air to
keep the flame burning correctly. If the flame is
starved for air, it can give off a dangerous carbon
monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is a clear

chains. If a flexible gas line is used, an additional
restraining cable must be connected at all times
when the appliance is in use.
An appliance equipped with casters and a flexible
gas line must be connected to the gas supply with
a quick disconnect device. This quick disconnect
must comply with AS4627. To limit the movement
of the appliance without depending on the
connector or quick disconnect, a restraining cable
must also be installed. The length of the
restraining cable must not exceed 80% of the
length of the flexible gas line.
Installation of this appliance should be done by a
qualified professional. This appliance should be
inspected by a qualified professional on an annual
basis to insure safe and proper operation.
This appliance must be installed in compliance
with AS/NZS 5601 (current revision) or local codes,

INSTALLATION
CHECKING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Your new appliance has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that you it
is delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new appliance, inspect each of the pieces for
damage. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the shipper immediately; the shipper
is only responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your appliance to ensure that
you have received all the parts to the appliance. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the
appliance was purchased. As you unpack the appliance and its accessories be careful to keep the weight of the
appliance evenly distributed.
CAUTION
To prevent equipment damage and/or personal injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any
two of its casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the flue vent.
ASSEMBLY
When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters)
and heat deflector.
Leg/Caster Installation and Leveling
This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it
cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit
this appliances ability to effect proper combustion.
WARNING
This appliance must

Do not install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when unit is in operation or
Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers. The legs/casters must be
installed before connecting the appliance to the gas supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet
sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure.
a. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the flue area by pulling on it. Protect
the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.
b. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires
four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.
c. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the
appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use
lock washers
d. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put too
much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling
devices (B) with water pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling, then
retighten.

INSTALLATION
Heat Deflector Installation
If the appliance requires a heat deflector, you will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the unit. This
label has instructions for positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label and the instructions
below to install the deflector.
a. Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, back area of the appliance.
b. Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the front of
appliance. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the two previously removed
fasteners.
c. When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue
opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Never allow anything to
block the flue opening; this will cause the appliance to over heat and inhibit proper combustion,
which could produce dangerous gases
INSTALLATION
If you have completed the above steps that are applicable to the appliance you purchased, the appliance is now
ready to be installed. Although it may be possible for you to install and set up your new appliance, it is
STRONGLY recommended that you have this done by qualified professionals. A qualified professional will
ensure that the installation is safe and meets local building and fire codes.
WARNING
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion, ventilation or air openings around the appliance.
Adequate clearance around the appliance is necessary for servicing and proper burner
operation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearance requirements specified in this
manual.
Installation Clearances
The clearances shown below are for combustible and non-combustible installations and will allow for safe and
proper operation of your appliance.
Back 6 in. (15 cm) 0
Sides 6 in. (15 cm) 0
Floor 4 ¾ (11.5 c,) 4 ¾ (11.5 cm)
In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 28 inches (71 cm) of aisle space in front of the
appliance.

Construction
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 in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 or local codes, as
applicable. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified installation professional, your local
gas company or by the Technical Regulator. The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessa ry
amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line
will deliver a minimum supply pressure of 7.0 ± 2.0 inches w.c. (1.75 ± 0.5 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 ± 2.0
inches (3.0 ± 0.5 kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously a t full
demand. 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.
