Normal iNSTALLATiON Steps, Connect the Range to Gas

NORMAL iNSTALLATiON STEPS

Step t

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

The range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4 inches of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches of water column. Make sure the range is supplied with the type of gas for which it is designed. If, at any time in the future, the range is to be supplied with a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician before attempting to oper- ate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas sup- plied to the regulator must be between 4 and 13 inch- es of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10 and 13 inches of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 inch 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 line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I D. of 1/2" and be 5 feet in length (shorter and longer lengths are acceptable) for ease of installation.

Step 2

Connect the Range to Gas

Before disconnecting the old range, shut off the main gas supply valve and leave it off until new hook-up has been complete&

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A.G.A._certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. Never use an old connector when installing a new range°

To prevent gas leaks, wrap pipe thread tape with "Teflon* around, or put pipe joint compound on, all mate (external) pipe threads.

1.Install a manual gas line shut-off 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

2.Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the I/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator.

3.Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, tak- ing care to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning

4.Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
