WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury, or
death.
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas,
turn off gas supply at the appliance service
valve before starting installation, and perform
Gas Leak Test after completion of installation.
3. Always install sediment trap in gas supply line
to prevent contamination of gas control.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only
your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use any tools. If the gas control knob will not
operate by hand, call a qualified service
technician to replace the gas control. Force or
attempted repair can result in fire or explosion.
CAUTION
Never apply a jumper across or short the valve
coil terminals. This can burn out the heat
anticipator in the thermostat or damage the
electronic direct ignition (DI) module.
IMPORTANT:
These gas controls are shipped with protective
seals over inlet and outlet tappings. Do not
remove seals until ready to connect piping.
Follow the appliance manufacturer instructions if
available; otherwise, use the instructions provided below.
Converting Between Natural and LP Gas
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury, or
death.
1. Do not use a gas control set for natural gas on
an LP gas system or a gas control set for LP
gas on a natural gas system.
2. When making conversion, main pilot burner
orifices must be changed to meet appliance
manufacturer specifications.
Refer to appliance manufacturer instructions for orifice
specifications and changeover procedure. Gas controls
are factory-set for natural (and manufactured) or LP gas.
Do not attempt to use a control set for natural
(manufactured) gas on LP gas, or a control set for LP on
natural (manufactured) gas.
Gas controls with standard or slow opening regulators
can be converted from one gas to the other with a
conversion kit (ordered separately). Order part no.
393691 to convert from natural (manufactured) to LP
gas; order part no. 394588 to convert from LP to natural
(manufactured) gas. Controls with step opening
regulators cannot be converted.
Install Adapters to Control
If adapters are to be installed on the gas control, mount
them as follows:
Flanges
1.
Choose the appropriate flange for your application.
2.
Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
3.
Make sure the O-ring fits into the flange groove. If
the O-ring is not attached or is missing, do not use
the flange.
4.
With the O-ring facing the gas control, align the
screw holes on the gas control with the holes in the
flange. Insert and tighten the screws provided with
the flange. See Fig. 1. Tighten the screws to 25
inch-pounds of torque to provide a gas-tight seal.
Fig. 1. Fasten flange to valve firmly, but do not
overtighten screws.
Bushings
1.
Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
2.
Apply moderate amount of good quality pipe com-
pound to bushing, leaving two end threads bare. On
LP installation, use compound resistant to LP gas.
Do not use Teflon tape.
3.
Insert bushing in control and carefully thread pipe
into bushing until tight.
Complete instructions below for piping, installing con-
trol, and wiring. Make certain the leak test you perform
on the control after completing the installation includes
leak testing the adapters and screws. If you use a wrench
on the valve after flanges are installed, use the wrench
only on the flange, not the control. Refer to Fig. 5. Insert
bushing in gas control and carefully thread pipe into the
bushing until tight.
Location
The combination gas control is mounted in the appliance
vestibule on the gas manifold. If this is a replacement
application, mount the gas control in the same location
as the old control.
Locate the combination gas control where it cannot be
affected by steam cleaning, high humidity, or dripping
water, corrosive chemicals, dust or grease accumulation
or excessive heat. To assure proper operation, follow
these guidelines:
To safeguard proper operation, follow these guidelines:
• Locate gas control in a well-ventilated area. Mount
gas control high enough above the cabinet bottom to
avoid exposure to flooding or splashing water.
• Assure the ambient temperature does not exceed the
ambient temperature ratings for each component.
