INSTALLATION

1.4.1.GAS CONNECTION

Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. In Australia, install the appliance in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company or, in North America, by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars, 1.74kPa) and 10.0”W.C. (24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0”W.C. (27.4mbars, 2.74kPa) and 13.0” W.C.

(32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI.

The gas supply connection to this appliance is located in the rear of the appliance approximately 10-1/2” (26.7 cm) from the floor of the appliance when legs are used.

Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.

WARNING

NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in serious injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the dealer you purchased it from.

NOTICE

NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance and improper operation.

1.4.2.QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION

In North America, gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16 Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel Appliances ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9 Latest Edition. In Australia, an appliance equipped with casters and a flexible gas line must be connected to the gas supply with a quick disconnect device that complies with AS 4627 and a restraining cable. The restraining cable must not exceed 80% of the length of the flexible gas line. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back panel.

1.4.3.FUEL SUPPLY LINE LEAK AND PRESSURE TESTING

The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than ½ PISG (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar), the appliance can be connected during the test, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure applied.

1.4.4.INSTALLATION SETUP

The installation of this appliance MUST conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes in North America, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1 as applicable. In Australia, the appliance must installed in compliance with AS/NZS 5601 (current revision).
