SGS GAS STOVES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The SGS GAS STOVE is a high-efficiency gas appliance with a maximum input rating of 28 500 BTU/h (8,4
kW) with natural gas or 26 000 BTU/h (7,6 kW) with propane. It features an adjustable millivolt valve and a
constant pilot independent of any electrical source. Your appliance will therefore continue to heat your house
in the event of a power failure. You can set the height of the flame to your liking by turning the adjusting knob.
For increased efficiency, we offer as an option an ultra quiet tangential blower with speed control. An optional
thermostat is also available for automatic room temperature control.
This appliance must be connected to a venting system. Read these instructions and consult your local building
authorities before installing this appliance. In the case of a direct vent installation use only with Simpson
