that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for
which it is certified. All models are certified for use with
natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use
with propane gas supply will require a conversion kit.

tions with more than 12" clearance, an optional
stainless steel Island Trim is available to cover the
backguard mounting flanges.
