INSTALLATION/OPERATION
Inspect gas pressure regulator and hose assembly before each use. If it evident that there
is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose or regulator is cut or damaged in any way, it
must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. A replacement pressure
regulator and hose assembly must be that specified by the manufacturer.
Fire Safety Systems
Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can
reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to have a fire safety device readily accessible
during operation. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. The following tables
contain a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on fire safety devices. It is not necessarily
complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road,
