2. Gas Specifications

Jetmaster Gas Convector fireplaces are
designed to burn LP Gas only. For proper
performance, LP Gas fires are set either
for use on the Highveld or coastal regions.
Check the markings on the outside of
the box in which the burner is delivered
to make sure you have the correct burner
for where you stay. Do not take a Highveld
burner to the coast or vice versa. Do
not burn LP Gas on a Towns Gas burner
or vice versa.
