9 Failure to fol-low them could damage the product or cause a Check the ratings given in the instructions and on theproduct to ensure the product is suitable for your Ensure installer is a trained, experienced After installation is complete, use these instructions tocheck out product OR EXPLOSION HAZARD,CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,SEVERE INJURY, OR these warnings exactly:1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to pre-vent electrical shock or equipment To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas,turn off gas supply at the appliance service valvebefore starting installation, and perform GasLeak Test after completion of Do not bend pilot tubing at gas control or pilotburner after compression fitting has been tight-ened, or gas leakage at the connection may Always install sediment trap in gas supply lineto prevent contamination of gas Do not force the gas control knob. Use only yourhand to push down the reset button or turn thegas control knob.

10 Never use any tools. If the gascontrol knob or reset button will not operate byhand, the gas control should be replaced by aqualified service technician. Force or attemptedrepair may result in fire or apply a jumper across or short the valve coilterminals. This may burn out the heat anticipator inthe thermostat.!CONVERTING BETWEEN NATURAL AND LP GASWARNINGFIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD,CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,SEVERE INJURY, OR Do not use a gas control set for natural gas onan LP gas system or a gas control set for LPgas on a natural gas When making conversion, main pilot burnerorifices must be changed to meet appliancemanufacturer and VR4200 gas Controls can be convertedfrom one gas to another. To convert from natural gas to LP,use the 393691 LP Conversion Kit that is included with thegas control. To convert from LP to natural gas, use the394588 Natural Gas Conversion Kit (ordered separately).VR8200C,P and VR4200C,P gas Controls cannot be convert control from one gas to another:1.
