WARNINGAll combustion performance numbers MUST be verified with a combustion analyzer. Failure to do so could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury or death.

WARNINGAsphyxiation Hazard. Use combustion analyzer for all gas valve adjustments. Low fire offset screw is very sensitive. Adjust offset no more than 1/8 turn before checking combustion with analyzer. Maximum total offset adjustment ± 1 turn. Adjustments greater than ± 1 turn may damage regulator diaphragm. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.
