GAS REQUIREMENTS
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range is shipped from the factory set up
andadjusted for Natural Gas or LP, depending on the specific model ordered.
Verify that the range is compatible with gas supply at the installation site before proceeding
further. Return the range to the dealer if the unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest
edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z.223.1 (Warning: this appliance must be installed by a
licensed plumber or gas fitter when within the Commonwealth ofMassachusetts).
A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) 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. (InMassachusetts such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State
Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) Theshut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8
meters) of the appliance it serves.
Fisher&Paykel recommends installing the manual shut-off 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 to accommodate such placement.
z
The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.
z
Ensure 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 guidance on page 17.
z
The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its individual
shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking
the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0" W.C.
fornatural gas or 12.0" W.C. for LP.
z
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a
certifying agency (CSA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic
material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
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.
