When communicating with factory about a unit or requesting special parts or information, rating plate data is essential for proper identification.
Recommendations Before Installation
Before installing the gas supply system, observe the pipes and fittings, check the components for dirt, clean internally with compressed air to eliminate possible particles, and prevent burners and valves from becoming clogged.
After cleaning, use thread sealant to connect the equipment to the gas network. For correct application, avoid concentrating the compound on the first two threads of the pipe, otherwise it may generate particles that will clog the system injectors.

Gas Standards & Codes
IMPORTANT
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Installation of this appliance must be in accordance with local installation codes, including:

1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any system pressure testing when this teste pressure exceeds 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).
2. The appliance shall be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the manual shut-off valve during any pressure test of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).

GAS CONNECTION
The gas inlet line size of this appliance is 3/4” NPT. For proper operation, the gas supply line must be the same size or larger. Gas line size should not be reduced at any point along the supply line.
MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE
A gas pressure regulator and a shut-off valve supplied by the technician shall be installed in the gas service line before the appliance – in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in an emergency.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator (which accompanies the product) is of utmost importance for its operation and is indispensable. The pressure regulator must be installed in the product supply gas line (failure to install the pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty).
Regulators are supplied with 3/4” NPT connection ranges. The regulator is factory set by 102mmH2O (4” WC) water column gas pressure at connector (natural gas) and gas pressure at 254mmH2O (10” WC) connector for LPG gas operation.
Before connecting the regulator, check the supply line pressure in the product. This may not exceed the maximum pressure of 3.45kPa (1/2 PSI). If the gas supply line pressure is higher than indicated, use a pressure reducing regulator.
At the bottom of the regulator body there is a gas direction arrow to minimize installation error. This arrow should point to the device’s direction of entry into the product.
The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of the regulator and should not be removed.

IMPORTANT
Visually check all inlet pipes supplied by the installer and/ or blow them out using compressed air to clean out any dirt or debris (threads or other foreign matter) before installing a service line. These particles will clog the gas holes when gas pressure is applied. Compounds used in appliance pipe threaded joints shall be resistant to the action of GN and LPG gas and shall provide a gas tight seal to prevent leakage.
When installing the pressure regulator remember that it can support 1/2 PSI (3.45kPa).
When installing LPG, you have high source pressures ranging from 20 PSI (127.89kPa) to 100 PSI (689.48 kPa). If the LPG tank’s high pressure gas line is directly connected
to a unit without the proper reduction regulator, it will rupture the diaphragm in the valve, making it useless.
Any adjustment to the regulator should be done only by qualified and licensed personnel with the appropriate calibrated test equipment. Connections must be made my a licensed and qualified contractor.

Gas Conversion Instructions

The products are produced for the use of natural gas (NG). Then check if the gas used in your region is compatible with the type of gas for which the product was  manufactured. Otherwise, the product must be converted to be used in propane gas (LPG).

IMPORTANT
TO PERFORM GAS CONVERSION, A LICENSED AND QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IS REQUIRED.
