DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
This appliance is a vented product. This appliance will not produce any gas leakage into
your home if properly installed. This appliance must be properly installed by a qualified ser-
vice person. The glass door must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not properly
installed by a qualified service person with glass door properly seated and sealed, gas leak-
age can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have any of these signs, the cast stove with
burner system may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at once! Have this appli-
ance and venting system inspected and serviced by a qualified service person. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under influence of alcohol, and those at high alti-
tudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making agent is added to each of
these gases. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases
can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system you are installing. If you have conflicting gas types, do
not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper
burner system according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO APPLIANCE
Installation Items Needed
Before installing the appliance make sure you have the items listed below.
• External regulator (supplied by installer)
• Piping (check local codes)
• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• Equipment shutoff valve *
• Test gauge connection *
• Sediment trap
• Tee joint
• Pipe wrench
∗ An CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative
to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer.
Warning: A qualified installer or
service person must connect burner
system to gas supply. Follow all local
codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner system directly to the propane/LP
supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external
regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external
regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between
11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator
damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in. Pointing
the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from burner system.
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The
main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be
used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to burner system. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to
stoves.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into
pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line. Locate sediment trap/drip
leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner
system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap
traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into burner system gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.
Page 16

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Note: The appliance and its appliance main valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi. (3.5 kPa).
Test Pressures In Excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff
valve from gas supply piping systems. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) will damage
burner system gas regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP
gas burner system or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas burner
system, or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply commercial leak test solution to all gas
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
5. Reconnect burner system and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings
for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve.
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP
gas burner system or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas burner
system, or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 34, page 17 for propane/LP or Figure 35, page 17 for natural). Apply commercial leak test
solution to all gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
