Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
4" or 5" (depending on model) of water column on
natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or
butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure gou are supplging gour range with the tgpe
of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas. If gou decide to use this range on LPgas,
conversion must be made bg 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 5" and
:!3" of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between
!0" and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least !" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supplg line regardless of
whether natural or LPgas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect
the range to the gas supplg line should have an I.D.of
1/2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut offthe main gas supplg 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, gou must
carefullg 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.
[] Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas
line in an easilg accessed location outside of the
range. Make sure evergone operating the range
knows where and how to shut offthe gas supplg
to the range.
[] Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of regulato[ Use a
backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid
damage.
[] Install male !/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPTinternal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep
it from turning.
[] Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
[] When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position and
turn on the main gas supplg valve. Use a liquid
leak detector at all joints and connections to
check for leaks in the sgstem.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
)ressure test the gas supplg sgstem of the residence,
A
R WARNING: Do NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supplg piping. When using test pressures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supplg sgstem,
simplg isolate the range from the gas supplg sgstem
bg closing the individual shut-off valve.
