SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS

and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precau-
tions which can protect both you and your family from an ac-
cident. Read them carefully now, then review them point by
point with the members of your household. Someday when
there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend
on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas
because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That's your signal to go into immediate action!
• Donotoperateelectricswitches,lightmatches,useyourphone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Geteveryoneoutofthebuilding,vehicle,trailer,orarea.Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Closeallgastankorcylindersupplyvalves.
• LP-Gasisheavierthanairandmaysettleinlowareassuch
asbasements.Whenyouhavereasontosuspectagasleak,
keepoutof basements andotherlow areas.Stay out until
reghtersdeclarethemtobesafe.
• Useyourneighbor’sphoneandcallatrainedLP-Gasservice
personandthere department.  Eventhoughyoumay not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, lettheservicemanandreghterscheckforescaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
checkandrelightthegasapplianceforyou.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE

you can smell the odorant in propane.Smokingcandecrease
your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
theareamaskthegasodor.Peoplemaynotsmellthegasodoror
theirmindsareonsomethingelse.Thinkingaboutsmellingagas
odorcanmakeiteasiertosmell.
The odorant in LP-gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. Forexample,ifthereisanundergroundleak,the
movementofthegasthroughsoilcanltertheodorant.Odorantsin
LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if there
isrustinsidethestoragetankorinirongaspipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into
walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will
takesomeoftheodorantoutofthegas,reducingitsodorintensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor.Ifyoudetectanyodor,treatitasaseriousleak.Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to
ndoutwhatthepropaneodorsmellslike.Ifyoususpectthat
yourLP-Gashasaweakorabnormalodor,callyourLP-Gas
Dealer.
• Ifyouarenotqualied,donotlightpilotlights,performservice,
ormakeadjustmentstoappliancesontheLP-Gassystem.If
youarequalied,consciouslythinkabouttheodorofLP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
makingadjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilotlights,performservice,ormakeadjustmentsinanarea
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor
iftherehasbeenaleakofLP-Gas.
• Odorfade,duetooxidationbyrustoradsorptiononwallsof
newcylindersandtanks,ispossible.Therefore,peopleshould
beparticularlyalertandcarefulwhennewtanksorcylinders
areplacedinservice.Odorfadecanoccurinnewtanks,or
reinstalledoldtanks,iftheyarelledandallowedtosettoo
longbeforerelling.Cylindersandtankswhichhavebeenout
of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause
odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic
sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question
about the gas odor, call your LP-gas dealer. Aperiodic
sniff test of the LP-gas is a good safety measure under
any condition.
• If,atanytime,youdonotsmelltheLP-Gasodorantandyou
thinkyoushould,assumeyouhavealeak.Thentakethesame
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• Ifyouexperienceacomplete“gasout,”(thecontainerisunder
novaporpressure),turnthetankvalveoffimmediately.Ifthe
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air

NOTICE:Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it
is always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANS Z21.24Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings.
— ANS Z21.45Assembled FlexibleAppliance Connectors of Other
Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority

Wherenoneexists,orwhereitssizeorlocationisnotadequate,
contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
totheactionofliqueedpetroleumgases.Thegaslinesmustbe
checkedforleaksbytheinstaller.Thisshouldbedonewithasoap

unexposed, a pressure test should be made.

NOTICE: Themillivoltgascontrolsareequippedwithacaptured

Whenusingcopperorexconnectoruseonlyapprovedttings.
Theapplianceandit’sindividualshutoffvalvemustbedisconnected
from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
attestpressuresinexcessof1/2psig(3.5kPa).

Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure

5. The original specied clearances of a factory-built re-
place must be maintained, with the exception of the hearth.
Clearances on a masonry replace must be maintained
at 12” from the opening for combustible projections over
1 1/2”. Clearances for combustible projections under
1 1/2” must be maintained at 6” from the opening per
NFPA211. Plan the surround size accordingly. A surround
must be used with the insert. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE
CAN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE PLACED BEHIND THE
SURROUND!
6. The insert surround is tested and approved with this gas in-
sert and may cover existing air circulation vents or grills on the
solidfuelreplaceitisinstalledinto.Ifthesurrounddoesnot
cover the entire ventilation grill surface, the exposed grill area
should be left open.
NOTICE: Surround panel kits have been tested and approved
