All appliances have a 3" long 3/8" NPT nipple installed at the valve. To quickly and easily complete the gas line routing, use the gas flex line kit, Model GFLV.

Step 3. Remove the nailing flanges from the lower control compartment and install in place with three (3) screws each. Align with the three holes on each side of the appliance (refer to Figure 5 ).
Install the hood on all units. Position the hood in the open area above the appliance door. Insert the tabs, on each end of the hood, into the bracket at each end. Bend the two tabs over to secure.
Step 4. Position appliance into prepared fram- ing, secure with 6d nails at the nailing flange along each side.
Step 5. Connecting Gas Line – Make gas line connections. All codes require a
The gas control valve is located in the lower control compartment. To access the valve open the lower control compartment door (Figure 11 ). The control valve has a 3/8" NPT thread inlet port and is fitted with a 3" (76 mm) long nipple, 3/8" NPT on both ends. Plan the connections accordingly.
Route the gas line using techniques and mate- rials prescribed by local and/or national codes. If the gas line must be routed from the left hand side (viewed from the gas controls), route the gas line around the valve and connect to the valve from the right hand side. The left hand gas line opening has been offset to allow for easy attachment of hard piping from the left hand side, when hard piping (black iron) is required by local codes.
For ease in installation, the offset is designed to utilize (1) a 3/8" street elbow at the valve, replacing the nipple provided with the appli- ance and oriented to the rear, (2) a 6", 3/8" nipple and (3) a 3/8" standard elbow returning to the left and aligning with a gas line routed through the left hand opening.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure pro- pane resistant compounds are used in propane applications).
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble leak solution).
Note: Using a soapy water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/ fittings can result in corrosion over time. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
A. Light the appliance (refer to safety and lighting instructions on page 15) (See *Note).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” posi- tion. Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection and retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
D. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure all ports are open and producing flame evenly across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out the ports.
An external regulator must be used on all pro- pane (L.P.G.) heaters, in addition to the regula- tor fitted to the heater, to reduce the supply tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum).
WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED PROPANE TANK CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
