INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
13
INSTALL THE RANGE
1. Provide adequate gas supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
5” of water column on natural gas or, if desired 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 qualifi ed 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 6” and
13” of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between
11” 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 must remain in the supply line regardless of
whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A fl exible 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, fl exible connectors must be
single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in
length.
INSTALL THE RANGE
2. Connect the range to gas
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the
new hook-up 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-certifi ed
fl exible 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 Tefl on around all
male (external) pipe threads.
Installation steps:
1. 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.
2. Install male 1/2” fl are union adapter to the
1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fi tting
to avoid damage. When installing the range
from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier
installation.
3. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” fl are union adapter
to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off
valve to keep it from turning.
4. Connect fl exible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5. 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.
