INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE c. Tighten the gas supply fitting and/or appliance conduit to flare union adaptor on the right side of the pressure regulator (refer to Fig. 10) using NO MORE THAN 15ft./lbs. of torque. Be sure to stabilize the 1/2" flare union adapter with an adjustable wrench before tightening the gas supply fitting and/or appliance conduit. Fig. 10 d. Install flare union adapter to external manual shut-off valve (See Fig. 8). e. Attach flexible appliance conduit to flare union adaptor on shut-off valve (See Fig. 8). f. Make sure the service shut-off valve on pressure regulator is set to the ON position (See Fig. 11). Checking manifold gas pressure Do not use flame to check for gas leaks. Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig). If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on. For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the manifold pressure is 4". For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure is 10". Pressure regulator Service shut-off valve (shown in ON position) Fig. 11 g. Check for gas leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system. 7

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE
Checking manifold gas pressure
Do not use
fl
ame to check for gas leaks.
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures greater than 14” of water
column pressure (approximately 1/2” psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 14” of water column
pressure (approximately 1/2” psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas
pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other
pressure device to the top burner right rear ori
fi
ce.
Using a
rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4,” hold
tubing down tight over ori
fi
ce.
Turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other
top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure
is at least one inch above speci
fi
ed range manifold
pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over
14” water column. When properly adjusted for Natural
Gas the manifold pressure is 4”. For LP/Propane Gas the
manifold pressure is 10”.
c.
Tighten the gas supply
fi
tting and/or appliance conduit
to
fl
are union adaptor on the right side of the pressure
regulator
(refer to Fig. 10) using
NO MORE THAN
15ft./lbs.
of torque. Be sure to
stabilize
the 1/2”
fl
are union adapter with an adjustable wrench before
tightening
the gas supply
fi
tting and/or appliance
conduit.
d. Install
fl
are union adapter to external manual shut-off
valve (See Fig. 8).
e. Attach
fl
exible appliance conduit to
fl
are union adaptor
on shut-off valve (See Fig. 8).
f.
Make sure the
service shut-off valve on pressure
regulator is set to the ON position
(See Fig. 11).

Check for gas leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the
range and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
conduits to check for leaks in the system.
