A. Gas Pressure Requirements
Pressure requirements for VRTIKL-AU Stoves are shown
in Table 1 below.
Two taps are provided on the right hand side of the gas
control for a test gauge connection to measure the inlet
and outlet pressures. See Section 10: Maintaining and
Servicing the Appliance.
The stove and its individual shut-off valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess
of 60 mbar.
If the stove must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing an individual shut-off valve, it must be
of the handle-less type.
Leak test all gas line points and the gas control valve prior
to and after starting the gas stove.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Explosion Risk
Fire Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
• Check all fi ttings and connections.
• Do not use open fl ame.
• After the gas line installation is complete, all
connections must be tightened and checked
for leaks with a commercially-available,
non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure
to rinse off all leak check solution following
testing.
Fittings and connections may have loosened
during shipping and handling.
WARNING
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with
local building codes by a qualifi ed installer approved and/or
licensed as required by the locality.
Note: Before the fi rst fi ring of the stove, the gas supply line
should be purged of any trapped air.
