Flexible metal appliance connector: • If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long, 1/2"(1.3 cm) or sA" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest edition. Type of Gas Natural gas: This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas. • This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See "Gas Conversions" section. The model/serial rating plate located on the frame behind the storage drawer has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. LP gas conversion: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See "Gas Conversions" section. Gas Supply Line • Provide a gas supply line of sA" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON °t tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"(1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system. • A r/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator. • Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range. Rigid pipe connection: The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line. Must include a shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range. B A. Gas supply line B. Shutoff valve "open" position C. To range Gas Pressure Regulator The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation: Natural gas: Minimum pressure: 5" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP LP gas: Minimum pressure: 11" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure. 1-C¢TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I.
