8.For L.P. gas, consult your L.P. gas supplier for expert installation.

8.

Observe gas regulator pressure when all burners are firing.

 

See Table 3B, Manifold Pressure (page 18) for proper

 

regulator pressure settings.

9.

If adjustment is necessary, turn regulator adjustment screw

IMPORTANT

Upon completion of any piping connections to the gas system, leak test all gas connections with a soap solution while system is under pressure. Immediately repair any leaks found in the gas train or related components. Do Not operate an appliance with a leak in the gas train, valves or related piping.
