GAS LINE CONNECTION
Gas line connection can be made near the lower rear of the stove (3/8” gas hookup). You must supply a shutoff valve installed in a visible location within 3’ (914 mm) of the stove.
Before hooking up the stove to the gas supply, be sure that the stove you are installing is designed for the type of gas being supplied to it. There is a serial number and listing label on the rear of the stove that will indicate which type of gas it is designed to utilize.
There is a 3/8” gas hookup located on the valve. We recommend connecting the stove with an approved flex gas line, as shown below. If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you can connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.
After running new gas line or if a gas line has been disconnected, purging of the gas line may be necessary. To purge gas line, open the inlet pressure tap and allow gas to flow through while carefully monitoring for the odor of either natural gas or propane. As soon as you smell the gas, discontinue purging the line. Insure that the room has plenty of ventilation and that no sparks or open flames are near the end of the gas line during the purging process. Do not try to ignite the stove until any and all gas accumulation has been cleared from the room.

CAUTION
IN SOME AREAS, GAS LINE PRESSURE MAY BE MORE THAN 1/2 PSIG (14”WC). IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE CASE IN YOUR LOCALITY, CONTACT YOUR GAS SUPPLIER OR LOCAL UTILITY COMPANY. LINE PRESSURE GREATER THAN 1/2 PSIG WILL DAMAGE THE STOVE VALVE. YOU MUST INSTALL A REGULATOR UPSTREAM FROM THE STOVE IF LINE PRESSURE IS GREATER THAN 1/2 PSIG.
