GAS CONNECTIONS 
1.  The installation of this appliance must 
conform with all applicable local codes.  
In the absence of local codes, the installa-
tion must conform to the latest level of the 
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.  In Canada, the installation 
must be in accordance with the current 
CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2. 
2.  This appliance can be configured to work 
with either natural gas or LP gas.  Verify 
that the appliance and the incoming gas 
supply are compatible.  Check the rating 
plate. 
3.  The gas supply line must be the same size 
or larger than the gas inlet of the appli-
ance.  Your appliance has either a ½” 
NPT or ¾” NPT gas inlet connection.  We 
recommend the supply line be ¼” NPT 
larger than the gas inlet of the appliance. 
4.  Sealant used on pipe joints must be resis-
tant to LP gas. 
5.  An installer provided manual shut-off 
valve must be installed in the gas supply 
line ahead of the appliance.  This shut-off 
must be easily accessible in case of emer-
gency. 
6.  All gas cooking equipment must have a 
pressure regulator on the incoming service 
line for safe and efficient operation.  This 
appliance is equipped with such a gas 
pressure regulator.  Incoming gas pressure 
should be checked with a manometer.  
The correct manifold pressure for natural 
gas is 5.0” wc.  For LP gas the correct 
manifold pressure is 10” wc. 
7.  Incoming line pressure upstream of the 
appliance should be 1.0” wc greater than 
the operating manifold pressure.  Service 
pressure may fluctuate for a variety of rea-
sons.  Under no circumstances should the 
factory installed regulator be removed or 
by-passed. 
8.  The factory installed pressure regulator 
will withstand an input pressure of ½ PSI 
(12” wc).  If the incoming pressure ex-
ceeds the maximum rating a step-down 
regulator is required. 
9.  The appliance and its individual shut-off 
valve must be disconnected from the gas 
supply line during any pressure testing in 
excess of ½ PSI [3.5 kPa]. 
10. The appliance must be disconnected from 
the gas supply by closing its individual 
shut-off during any pressure testing less 
than ½ PSI [3.5 kPa]. 
11. Check to see that all installer supplied 
pipes and fittings are clear of debris, 
threading chips or other foreign particles 
before connecting the appliance to the 
supply line.  Such particles will clog ori-
fices and/or valves when pressure is ap-
plied.  Service to clean such clogs is not 
covered by your warranty.
 
12. The incoming gas supply is brought from 
the inlet pipe.  This is the only connection 
required via the installer-supplied shut-off 
valve. 
13. If the appliance is to be installed with 
flexible couplings and/or a “quick discon-
nect” the installer must use a commer-
cially approved AGA Design certified 
flexible connector at least ½” NPT that 
complies with ANSI Z21.41.  In Canada 
the connector must comply with CAN 
16.10-88 and the “quick disconnect” de-
vice must comply with CAN 16.19M-79 
and installed with a strain relief device. 
14. Before putting the appliance into service 
test all gas connections for leaks.  Use a 
soapy solution.  DO NOT USE AN OPEN 
FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.  Such 
a procedure is dangerous and it may not 
detect all the small leaks that a soapy so-
lution will. 
15. Air shutter adjustments are preset at the
