Installation Instructions

11
FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide the openings listed
below for drainage, replacement air, and cross-ventilation
of any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas
connections, the unit, or propane cylinders.
One side of the enclosure can be left completely open to
the outside, OR 4 ventilation openings must be created:
NATURAL GAS INSTALLS
Two of the openings are to be at the top level (approx.
4" below the countertop) and on opposite walls of the
enclosure. 2 more openings must be at the fl oor level (no
more than 5" above the fl oor) and on opposite sides of the
enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum of 10 sq.
in. of free area. To achieve the proper ventilation, you may
drill a series of holes, omit the grout from masonry joints,
or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If the fl oor
in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet
is open to the outside, the lower ventilation openings may
be in the fl oor. Reference Fig. 11-1.
PROPANE GAS INSTALLS
(HOUSEHOLD & CYLINDER)
Two of the openings are to be at the cylinder valve level
(approx. 16" above the fl oor) and on opposite walls of the
enclosure. 2 more openings must be at the fl oor level (no
more than 5" above the fl oor) and on opposite sides of the
enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum of 10 sq.
in. of free area. To achieve the proper ventilation, you may
drill a series of holes, omit the grout from masonry joints,
or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If the fl oor
in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet
is open to the outside, the lower ventilation openings may
be in the fl oor. Reference Fig. 11-1.
WHEN A PROPANE CYLINDER IS USED
When a propane cylinder is installed inside of the enclosure,
the guidelines below MUST be followed. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR UNIT AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY. Reference Fig. 11-2 for an example.
• Only a C.S.A. listed stainless steel connector can be
connected to the unit.
• The regulator/hose assembly coming from the propane
cylinder can only be connected to the above mentioned
fl ex connector. DO NOT connect the regulator/hose
assembly directly to the unit. An adapter will be
required.
• A heatshield must be installed to protect the regulator/
hose assembly and propane cylinder valve.
• RHP offers a propane cylinder door with tank tray
to meet the cylinder install requirements. See Fig.
11-3.
