Gas Supply Requirements
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 14ʺ (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.
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.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
� This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located on
the oven frame behind of the oven door 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 qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified 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
� 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
insufficient 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 must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®
† tape.
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector:
� If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122
to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (13 mm) or 3/4" (19 mm) I.D., flexible
metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range
to the gas supply line.
� A 1/2" (13 mm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to
the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure
regulator.
� Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving
the range.
� 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 cooktop.

C. To 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.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"
(2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14"
(35.5 cm) WCP
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14" (35.5 cm)
WCP or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
