setting up the burner
a. burner assembly
All Models:
• Check for damage. Do not use damaged components.
• The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if there is evidence of excessive abrasion
or wear, or if the hose is damaged. A replacement hose assembly is available from the manufacturer.
• The burner must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if it is evident that the burner is damaged. A
replacement burner assembly is available from the manufacturer.
• Position the assembly in the desired location. This location must be adjacent to the gas supply line. You must have easy
access to the gas valve control knob after it is installed and connected to the gas supply because the ON/Off gas valve is
used to turn the burner on and off.
Lp gas Models:
• Make sure the tank valve is turned completely off (clockwise).
• ensure the tank valve has the proper external mating threads (tank valve marked "USe wITH Type 1").
• Inspect the hose shipped with the appliance for any damage. Do not use if there is evidence of damage.
• Connect the end of the hose onto the ON/Off gas valve of the appliance. Make sure it is secured tightly.
• Connect the regulator assembly to the tank valve. Hand-tighten only (clockwise). Do not use a wrench to tighten! Use of a
wrench may damage the quick closing nut and result in a hazardous condition.
• Position the hose out of pathways where people might trip over it or in areas where the hose might be subject to accidental
damage.
