INSTALLATION/OPERATION

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 adaptor 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.

Quick Disconnect Gas Connection

Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard 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, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9 latest edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the movement of the appliance. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance on the back panel.

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), 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

½PSIG (3.45 kPa), 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 is applied.

Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems

Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. The following tables contain a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. It is not necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit their website at www.csa-international.org.
