2 gas connection All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes. This gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to the action of LP/Propane gas. The range is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. The model/serial rating plate, located below the bottom drawer, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. See page from 18 to 25 for L.P. gas conversion instructions. 1. Manual Shut-off Valve (fig: 2.1): A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance (In Massachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters). This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing (in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency). Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. To range Shutoff valve "open" position Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA or UL approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" water column. Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Gas supply line Fig. 2.1 2. Pressure Regulator: a. All heavy duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand. Before installing the regulator mount the 1/2" NPT (conical) male connector to the regulator (see picture 2.2). Gasket supplied has to be placed between 1/2" NPT (conical) connector/extension pipe male pipe fitting (see picture 2.3). The regulator supplied with this range must be installed before any gas connections are made. Use supplied pressure regulator only. 12
