Installation instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with tile type
of gas fl_ whidl it is designed.
This range is convertible fiw use on natmal or
propane gas. If you deride to use this range on LP gas,
convex_ion must be made bv a qualified LP installer
beflwe attempting to operate tile range on that gas.
Fox" proper operation, tile pressure ot natural gas
supplied to tile regulator must be between 4" and 13"
o_ W_ffer cohlI//n,
For I,P gas, tile pressure supplied must be between 10"
and 13" of water column.
When checking flw proper operation of tile regulato*;
tile inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than tile
operating (inanilold) pressure as given above.
Tile pressme regulator located at tile inlet of tile range
manilbld must remain ill tile supply line regardless ot
whether natural or I,P gas is being used.
A fle_ble metal appliance connector used to connect tile
range to tile gas supply lille shoukl have an I.D. of 1/2"
and be 5 _bet in length fi)r ease of installation. In Canada,
fle_ble connector3 I]_l{lstbe single wall metal connecto,3
no hmger than 6 feet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the matin gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup 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 tile range,
tile use (ff a CSA ]nternational-celqfified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never use all oM comlector when installing a new range.
If tile hard piping method is used, you must careflflly
align tile pipe; the range cannot be moved alter tile
connection is made.
To pre', ent gas leaks, put pipe joint compotmd on, or
wrap pipe thread rope with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off _;dve ill tile gas lille ill
an easily accessed location (_utside of the range. Make
sure everyone operating tile range kno_vs where and
how to shut off the gas supply to tile range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to tile 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulatol: Llse a backup
wrench on tile regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range ti'om the ti'ont, remove the
90 ° elbow ti)r easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare ration adapter to tile
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off \ulve,
taking care to back-up tile shut-off \ulve to kee I) it
fl'om mrning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on tile range. Position range to pemlit
connection at tile shut-off wdve.
E. X._q/en all connections have been made, make sm'e
all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas supply \ulve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check fi)r leaks in
tile system.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressm'es greater than 1/2 psig to
pressm'e test tile gas supply system of tile resMence,
disconnect tile range and individual shut-off valve
from tile gas supply piping. When using test pressm'es
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 wflve.
