GAS CONNECTION
Gas requirements
All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes.
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet
line of the appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to the action
of LP/Propane gas.
z
The range is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by
CSA International for NATURAL (and LP gases with appropriate conversion).
z
Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualified licensed
technician or gas service company. Please provide the service person with this manual
before work is started on the range. (Gas conversions are the responsibility of the
dealer or end user.)
z
The model/serial rating plate, located below the bottom drawer, has information
on the type of gas that can be used.
z
If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the
local gas supplier.
Natural gas
z
Supply Pressure: 4" W.C.P.
LP gas
z
Supply Pressure: 11" W.C.P.
z
A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure
of 14" W.C. to the range regulator.
Manual shut-off valve
z
A manual shut-off valve must be installed
in an accessible location in the gas line
external to the appliance for the purpose
of turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance (In Massachusetts such shutoff
devices should be approved by the
Board of State Examiners of Plumbers
& Gas Fitters).
z
This valve should be located in the same
room as the range and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening
and closing (in a position where it
can be reached quickly in the event
of an emergency).
z
Do not block access to the shutoff valve.
The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
IMPORTANT!
Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve in a location readily
accessible by the customer, so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency
situation. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate
such placement.
z
The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.
z
Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
z
Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. See instructions following.
z
When hooking up the gas supply from the wall hard pipe to the range hard pipe,
installation length of flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate range
being pulled from wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When range is pulled from
wall, no strain should occur at range or wall hard pipe connections.
