15. Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of this appliance. Use a manometer to check
pressures as specified in the Gas Pressure section of
this manual (page 18).
16. Adjust the Air Shutter. You will need to position the
shutter to provide a gas/air mixture that will achieve
the best flame picture with your particular installation.
Start with the shutter stem at the half-way position in
the slot in the bottom of the stove. See fig. 20. Pushing
the stem back will restrict air, while pushing it for-
ward will open the shutter and increase air. With some
experimentation, you will find the shutter position that
works best for your installation.
The factory setting for natural gas is open 1/16".
The factory setting for propane is open 1/4". The stop
screw will prevent full air restriction to the injector.
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON
THE INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN
LIGHTING YOUR STOVE.
Gas Supply Connection
NOTE: If appropriate, install the optional forced air
blower before connecting the gas line, to prevent clear-
ance interference between the two.
The gas supply line connection is made to the left
side of the valve. 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 COM-
PLY 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. 25.
A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO COMPLY WITH CODE 248CMR.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and
sealing compounds. If Propane is used, be sure to use seal-
ant compounds that are propane resistant. Turn on gas
supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution.
or digital gas detector. Never use an open flame to check
for leaks.
