Millivolt Models - bTU Input
Millivolt models come standard with the
manually-modulated gas valve; flame appear-
ance and heat output can be controlled at the
gas valve. Input of for these models is shown
in Table 1.

Test gauge connections are provided on the front
of the millivolt gas control valve (identified OUT
for the manifold side and IN for inlet pressure. A
1/8" NPT test gauge connection is provided on the
electronic gas control valve adjacent to the outlet
to the main burner.
These appliances must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system (by
Propane Gas
closing their individual manual shut-off
Input Rate
valve) during any pressure testing of
(bTU/HR)
the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
These appliances and their individual
shut-off valves must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system dur-
ing any pressure testing of that system
at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa).

Deration - At higher elevations, the amount

of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced
by either:
• Using gas that has been derated by the gas
company.
• Changing the burner orifice to a smaller size
as regulated by the local authorities having
jurisdiction and by the (USA) National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest
edition or, in Canada, the CAN/CSA-B149.1
codes - latest edition.

burn-in Period
During the first few fires of this appliance there
will be some odor due to the curing of the
paint and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process. Depending on your
use, the burn-in period may take a few hours
or a few days.
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED
DURING THE CURING PROCESS. THE ODOR
AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE CURING
PROCESS CAN bE QUITE NOTICEAbLE AND
MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.
A white film may develop on the glass front
during the first few fires as part of the curing
process. The glass should be kept clean during
the first two weeks of use to prevent the film from
baking on (making it very difficult to remove).
See Cleaning Glass on Page 11.
