Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will require installation of conversion kit supplied with the range (service number 553182). Only a qualified service technician or installer should make this conversion. See LP Conversion Kit instructions for full installation information. Check local building codes for the proper method of appliance installation. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. Local codes vary and it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure installation is in accordance with these codes. In the absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 70-current issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and.2 - Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes.
