2.0 INSTALLATION (Continued)

Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the
line to the unit. It is recommended that an individual manual shut off valve be installed in the
gas supply line to the unit. Use pipe joint compound which is suitable for use with LP gas on all
threaded connections. Test pipe connections thoroughly for gas leaks.

WARNING: All connections must be checked for leaks, after the unit
has been put in operation. Use soapy water only for testing on all
gases. Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

NOTICE: If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator
shall be installed to the outdoors in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
,
or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1
, as applicable.

NOTICE: If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and was
not so specified on order, contact service department. Failure to install with
proper orifice sizing may void the warranty.


WATER CONNECTION

On units equipped with an optional water fill valve connect a water line (minimum 1/4") to the
valve with a 1/4" NPT female fitting. Units with dual (hot and cold) valves must have the hot
water line connected to side with the hot water valve (red) and cold water line to the cold water
valve (blue). Plastic or rubber hose is not recommended, as it may melt against the hot kettle
side.

WARNING: For an appliance equipped with casters, the installation
shall be made with a connector that complies with the standard for
connectors for moveable gas appliances, ANSI Z21.69-CSA 6.16
and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the standard
for quick-disconnect devices for use with gas fuel, ANSI Z21.41-
CSA 6.9; adequate means must be provided to limit the movement
of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick
disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance
movement; the location where the restraining means may be attached
to the appliance is on bottom of unit directly below relief valve.

If the unit is also equipped with an optional water fill valve it too
must be installed with a flexible water supply tube, a quick disconnect
and strain relief.
