Do not bend or damage the flexible
connector when moving the appliance. The
pressure regulator has 3/8" female pipe
threads. You will need to determine the
fittings required, depending on the
dimension of your gas supply line, the
flexible metal connector and the shut-off
valve. The appliance should be installed in
rooms that have a permanent air supply in
accordance with the applicable standards.
The room in which the appliance is installed
must have sufficient airflow to ensure proper
combustion of the gas and the necessary air
exchange in the room itself. The air vents,
protected by grilles, must be of the correct
size to comply with current regulations and
positioned so that no part of them is
obstructed, even partially. The room must
be sufficiently ventilated to remove the heat
and humidity generated during cooking: it is
advisable to open a window or increase
the speed of any fans, especially after long
periods of use.
Gas connection
The appliance is shipped from the factory
for use with natural gas at a pressure of 4"
of water column. When checking if the
regulator is working properly, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure above.
When used with natural gas, the pressure
supplied to the regulator must be between
5" and 10.5" of the water column. To
convert the appliance for use with propane,
see “Conversion to propane gas (LPG)”.
The conversion must be done by a qualified
technician or installer. The gas inlet to the
unit is located at the back right of the
appliance. Install the pressure regulator
(supplied with the unit) on the gas inlet.
Place the gasket (supplied with the unit)
between the inlet and the regulator. Position
the regulator so that the cap is easily
accessible. Tighten the nut on the gas inlet
so that it is hand tight plus 1/3 turn.
Connect the gas pipe to the regulator using
Teflon tape or pipe joint compound
(resistant to propane gas and natural gas).
Turn so that it is hand tight plus 1/3 turn. Do
not exceed 1 turn for alignment, to prevent
possible damage to the gas pressure
regulator. Check the inlet connections and
the regulator for leaks.
1 - Gas inlet (attached to the appliance)
2 - Gasket
3 - Pressure regulator
WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust the
pressure regulator, except when converting

knobs on the gas tap valves.
NEVER USE A MATCH OR AN OPEN
FLAME TO TEST FOR GAS LEAKS.
Check the appearance of the flames
• Yellow flames: Further adjustment is
required.
• Yellow tips on outer cones: Normal for
LPG.
• Soft blue flames: Normal for Natural
Gas.
• Orange flames: Can be normal if certain
types of humidifiers are used in the
home. Flames should return to blue
without the humidifier running.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow,
verify that the regulator is set for the correct
fuel. Retest after adjustment.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the
initial startup. Allow the appliance to
operate for 4–5 minutes and reevaluate
before making adjustments.
Shut-off valve
The supply line must be fitted with an
approved shut-off valve. This valve should
be in the same room as the appliance and
in a position where it is easy to open and
close. Do not block access to the shut-off
valve. The valve is necessary for turning the
gas to the appliance on or off.
A - To appliance
B - Shutoff valve “open” position
C - Gas supply line
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Use a soapy solution
to check for leaks.
Never use a match
or an open flame to
