Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See “Complete
Connection” in the “Make Gas Connection” section.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
n This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the left side of the
bottom of the broiler and has information on the types of gas
that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the
type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
Propane Gas Conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualied service technician.
No attempt will be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specied on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas
Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
n Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufcient gas supply. With Propane gas, piping or
tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane
gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the
system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of
Propane gas gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
n If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certied,
4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4"
(1.9 cm) I.D. exible metal appliance connector may be
used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
n A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for
connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the
appliance pressure regulator.
n Do not kink or damage the exible metal tubing when
moving the range.
n Must include a shut-off valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
