Step 6: Gas Requirements and Hookup Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site. Make certain the range matches the type of gas available at this location. The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. It must be converted for use with propane. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will require installation of the conversion kit supplied with the range (service number 553182). A qualified technician or installer must do the conversion. See LP Conversion Kit instructions for full installation information. Obey all instructions in this kit for correct conversion of the gas regulator and settings for the gas valves. CAUTION: When connecting unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the appliance. The pressure of the gas supplied to the appliance regulator must not exceed 14" water column (34.9 mb). NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS: WARNING: If a gas conversion kit is used, the kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in the instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion, or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
