NEVER USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
GAS LEAKS. AVOID WETTING THE IFC
!
UNIT WHEN CONDUCTING LEAK CHECK.
17. Confirm correct gas pressure. Use a manometer to check
pressures as specified under Section 9, Gas Pressure
(page 19).
18. NATURAL GAS ONLY: Adjust the Air Shutter. Fig. 7.9.
The factory setting for NG is 1/16" open. Adjustment
may be necessary to provide the best flame picture
depending upon the specific vent configuration.
• Start with the shutter set open to 1/16".
• Push the shutter stem back (to the rear) to restrict air.
• Pull the shutter stem forward (toward yourself) to
open the shutter and add oxygen to the fuel mix.
With some experimentation, you will find the shutter
position that works best for that particular installation.
• Run the stove at least 15 minutes to let the burner
settle-in before making further adjustments in very
small increments (1/16" - 1/8")

8. Gas Supply Connection
Route the gas supply line to the flex line behind the

Utility Cover at the rear leg.
The gas supply line should be 3/8" npt with a 1/2"

diameter supply, or the appropriate size to provide
sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the
input setting.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is

acceptable in many areas in the U.S. However,
Canadian methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL

CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock)

and union, to be installed in the supply line, and
in the same room as the appliance. This allows for
the disconnection of the stove for servicing and
maintenance. See fig. 8.1.
A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO COMPLY WITH CODE 248CMR.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and

sealing compounds. For propane units be sure to use
compounds that are propane resistant. Turn on gas
supply and test for gas leaks at all joints.
