BEFORE OPERATING
Gas Pressure Requirements
Correct gas pressure and the use of a properly sized gas supply line are essential for the safe and efficient performance of this appliance. Make sure that the plumber or gas supplier checks the gas sup- ply line and gas pressure at installation.
NOTE: Improper gas pressure can affect heater performance, flame color, or cause pilot outage.
Natural Gas:
Maximum inlet pressure 7.0" w.c. (1.74 kPa) Minimum inlet pressure 5.0" w.c. (1.25 kPa) Gas manifold pressure 3.5" w.c. (0.87 kPa)
LPG Gas:
Maximum inlet pressure 13" w.c. (3.24 kPa) Minimum inlet pressure 11" w.c. (2.74 kPa) Gas manifold pressure 10" w.c. (2.49 kPa)

OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT
If the optional thermostat is used, it must be plugged into the terminal strip located behind the right side air inlet grill. It can be accessed by first opening the control access door and then pulling up and forward on the air grill. The terminal block will then be visible.
When installing a millivolt control system, use only a special low resistance thermostat. Do not use a regular heating thermostat.
Be sure that all electrical connections are clean, free from corrosion, and tight. Inspect connections periodically to confirm that no corrosion has built up over time.
When properly installed and maintained, a mil- livolt control system should give many years of
It is important to use wire of a gauge proper for the length of the wire:
