[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a
pressure of 4" of water cotumn on natural
gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or
butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your
range with the type of gas for which
it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on
natural or propane gas. If you decide
to use this range on LP gas, conversion
must be made by 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 4" and 13" of water
cohmn.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must
be between 10" and 13" of water cohmn.
When checking for proper operation of
the regulator, the inlet pressure must be
at teast 1" greater than the operating
(manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the
inlet of the range manifold must remain
in the supply tine regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used
to connect the range to the gas supply
tine should have an i.D. of 1/2" and be
5 feet in length for ease of installation.
tn 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 suppty valve
before disconnecting the old range and
leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to reiight
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
tnternationaFcertified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended
unless locat 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 carefully 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 shutoff valve in
the gas line in an easily accessed location
outside of the range. Make sure everyone
operating the range knows where and how
to shut off the gas supply to the range.
Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to
the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of
regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter
to the NPT internal thread of the manual
shut-off valve, taking care to back=up the
shutoff 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
supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
WARNING - DONOTUSEAFLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than
1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply
system of the residence, disconnect the
range and individual shutoff valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test
pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the
range from the gas supply system by
closing the individual shutoff valve.
