Installation of the range (cont.).
%
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Yourrange is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for
LPgas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the
type of gas fbr which it is designed.
This range is convertible far use on naulral or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP
gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LE
installer befbre attempting to operate the range on
that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of naulral gas
supplied to the regMator must be between 4" and
13 of water cohunn.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between
10" and 13" of water cohunn.
When checking fbr proper operation of the
regulator, dm inlet pressure must be at least 1"
_'eater than the operating (manifbld) pressure as
given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of dm
range manifbld must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LE 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
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 an A.G.A.-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
careflflly align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on,
or,wap pipe thread tape xdth Teflon* around, all
male (external) pipe threads.

Install a manual gas line shut-offvalve in the gas
line in an easily accessed location outside of the
range. Make sure eveuone operating the range
knows where and how to shut offthe gas supply
to the range.
Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the
1/2" NET internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulator. On models equipped,_4th standard
t_4n burners, install the male pipe thread end
of the 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NET internal thread at inlet of pressure
regulator. Use a backup ,_'ench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing tim range from tim front,
remove the 90 ° elbow fbr easier installation.
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to
the NET internal 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
tim adapter on the range. Position range to
permit connection at the shut-offvalve.
When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the offposition
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a
liquid leak detector at alljoints and
connections to check for leaks in the sTsteln.
CAUTION:DONOT USEA FLAME TO
CHECKFORGAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures _'eater fllan 1/2 psig to
pressure test tim gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and indivi(hml shut-offvalve
from tim gas supply piping. X_mn using test
pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test tim gas supply
systeln, simply isolate tim range fi'oln the gas supply
systeln by closing the indMdual shut-offvalve.
