PROVIDE

ADEQUATE

GAS

SUPPLY

Your

range

is designed

to

operate

at

a

pressure

of

4"

of water

column

on

natural

gas

or,

if designed

for

LP gas

(propane

or

butane),

10"

of

water

column.

Make

sure

you

are

supplying

your

range

with

the

type

of

gas for

which

it is

designed.

This

range

is

convertible

for

use

on

natural

or

propane

gas.

If you

decide

to

use this

range

on

LP gas,

conversion

must

be made

by

a qualified

LP

installer

before

attempting

to

operate

the

range

on that

gas.

For

proper

operation,

the

pressure

of

natural

gas

supplied

to

the

regulator

must

be between

4" and

13" of water

column.

For

LP gas,

the

pressure

supplied

must

be between

10" and

13" of

water

column.

When

checking

for

proper

operation

of

the

regulator,

the

inlet

pressure

must

be

at

least

1" greater

than

the

operating

(manifold)

pressure

as given

above.

The

pressure

regulator

located

at the

inlet

of the

range

manifold

must

remain

in the

supply

line

regardless

of whether

natural

or

LP gas

is being

used.

A flexible

metal

appliance

connector

used

to

connect

the

range

to

the

gas supply

line

should

have

an

I.D. of

1/2" and

be

5 feet

in length

for

ease

of installation.

In Canada,

flexible

connectors

must

be

single

wall

metal

connectors

no

longer

than

6 feet

in length.

[]

CONNECT

THE RANGE

TO GAS

Shut

off

the

main

gas

supply

valve

before

disconnecting

the

old

range

and

leave

it off

until

the

new

hookup

has

been

completed.

Don't

forget

to

relight

the

pilot

on

other

gas

appliances

when

you

turn

the

gas

back

on.

Because

hard

piping

restricts

movement

of the

range,

the

use of

a CSA

International-certified

flexible

metal

appliance

connector

is

recommended

unless

local

codes

require

a hard-piped

connection.

[]

[]

[]

[]

[]

Never

use an old

connector

when

installing

a new

range.

If the

hard

piping

method

is used,

you

must

carefully

align

the

pipe;

the

range

cannot

be moved

after

the

connection

is made.

To prevent

gas

leaks,

put

pipe

joint

compound

on,

or wrap

pipe

thread

tape

with

Teflon*

around,

all

male

(external

pipe

threads.

Install

a manual

gas line

shut-off

valve

Nn

the gas line

in an easily

accessed

location

outside

of the

range.

Make

sure

everyone

operating

the

range

knows

where

and

how

to shut

off

the gas supply

to

the

range.

Install

male

1/2" flare

union

adapter

to

the

1/2"

NPT

internal

thread

at

inlet

of

regulator.

Use

a backup

wrench

on the

regulator

fitting

to

avoid

damage.

Install

male

1/2" or 3/4" flare

union

adapter

to the

NPT internal

thread

of the

manual

shut-off

valve,

taking

care

to

back-up

the

shut-off

valve

to

keep

it from

turning.

Connect

flexible

metal

appliance

connector

to

the

adapter

on the

range.

Position

range

to

permit

connection

at

the

shut-off

valve.

When

all connections

have

been

made,

make

sure

all

range

controls

are

in the

off

position

and

turn

on the

main

gas

supply

valve.

Use

a liquid

leak

detector

at all joints

and

connections

to check

for

leaks

in the

system.

WARNING

- Do

NOTUSEA

FLAME

TO

CHECK

FOR GAS

LEAKS.

When

using

test

pressures

greater

than

1/2 psig

to

pressure

test

the

gas

supply

system

of the

residence,

disconnect

the

range

and

individual

shut-off

valve

from

the

gas

supply

piping.

When

using

test

pressures

of

1/2 psig

or

less to

test

the

gas

supply

system,

simply

isolate

the

range

from

the

gas supply

system

by

closing

the

individual

shut-off

valve.
