qualified professional service technician. More
frequent inspections and cleanings may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the
control compartment, burners and circulating
air passage ways of the appliance be kept clean.
Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for
service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front openings of the appliance.
Due to high temperatures the appliance should
be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies. Locate furniture and window
coverings accordingly.
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural or propane gas only.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified ser-
vice technician to inspect the appliance and to
replace any part of the control system and any
gas control that has been under water.
Ne pas se servir de cet appareil s'il a été plongé
dans l'eau, complètement ou en partie. Appeler
un technicien qualifié pour inspecter l'appareil et
remplacer toute partie du système de contrôle et
toute commande qui ont été plongés dans l'leau.
If it is evident that the burner is damaged, the
burner must be replaced with one specified by
the manufacturer before the appliance is put
into operation.

Table 1
Units are tested and approved for elevations
of 0 to 4500 feet (0 to 1372 meters).
For elevations above 4500 feet (1372 meters),
install the unit according to the regulations of
the local authorities having jurisdiction and,
in the USA, the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) or, in Canada,
the latest edition of the CAN/CGA-B149.1
and .2 codes.
Maximum manifold pressure is 3.5 in. w.c. (0.87
kPa) for natural gas and 10 in. w.c. (2.49 kPa)
for LP/Propane gas.
The minimum manifold pressure on low is 2.2
in. w.c. (0.55 kPa) for natural gas and 6.3 in.
w.c. (1.57 kPa) for LP/Propane gas.
Test gauge connections are provided on the front
of the electronic 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.
The appliance and its appliance main gas
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its equipment
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pres-
sures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Minimum inlet gas pressure to these appliances
is 5.0" water column (1.24 kPa) for natural gas
and 11" water column (2.74 kPa) for propane
for the purpose of input adjustment.
Propane
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure to these
drill size (inches)
appliances is 10.5" water column (2.61 kPa)
#47 (.0785")
for natural gas and 13.0" water column (3.23
#47 (.0785")
kPa) for propane.
Any safety guard or screen removed for ser-
vicing the appliance must be replaced prior to
operating the appliance.
