Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your rmlge is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water cohunn on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propmm or butane), 10" of water cohunn.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the _'pe
of gas fin" which it is designed,
This range is convertible fi_i" use on natural or
l)rol)ane gas. If you decide to use this range on I,P gas,
con\'e_ion must be made bv a qualified I,P installer
betore attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressm'e _ff natm'al gas
supplied to the regulator illtlSt be between 4" and 13"
of water cohlll/n.
For I,P gas, the pressm'e supplied must be between 10"
and 13" ot water cohmm.
When checking fin" proper operation of the regulatm;
the inlet pressm'e must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manitold) pressm'e as given above.
The pressm'e regulator located at the inlet of the range
manitold must remain in the supply line regardless _ff
whether natural or I,P gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. otl/2"
and be 5 fl_et in length fin" ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible com_ecto_ nlust be single wall metal com_ecto_
no hmger than 6 teet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before discommcthag
the old rmage mad leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas applimaces when you tuna 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-i)iped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard i)ii)ing method is used, you must carefiflly
align the I)ipe; the range cannot be moved atter the
connection is ii/ade.
To prevent gas leaks, put i)ipejoint compotmd on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* arotmd, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A, Install a manual gas line shut-off wflve in the gas line in
an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make
sm'e everyone operating the range knows where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulatm: Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range ti'om the ti'ont, remove the
90 ° elbow tot easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare ration adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off \_dve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off \_dve to kee I) it
fl'om mrning.
D. Com_ect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to pemfit
com_ection at the shut_fl \zflve.
E. X_]_en all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas sui)ply \:dye. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check fin" leaks in
the system,
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test i)ressures greater than l/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supi)ly system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas suI)ply piping. When using test I)ressures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range fl'om the gas supply system by closing
the individual shut-off wdve.
