PRoVIDE ADEqUATE GAS SUPPLy
your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4
of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10 of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas.
If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must
be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to
operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 4 and 13 of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10
and 13 of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the
inlet pressure must be at least 1 greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless
of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2 and
be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer
than 6 feet in length.

CoNNECT THE RANGE To GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align
the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe-joint compound on, or wrap
pipe-thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2 flare union adapter to the 1/2 NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
B.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2 or 3/4 flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in
the system.
wARNING:
To CHECK FoR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
