Gas supply requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.

Install a shutoff valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (35.6 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: Range cooktop must be connected to a regulated gas supply.

A.This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition* or CAN/CGA-B149 — latest edition* installation codes.

B. Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level. (Not applicable for Canada.)

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

C.The range is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is design-certified by International Approval Services (I.A.S.) for Natural and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. The model/serial rating plate, located on the surface below the control panel, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

L.P. Gas:

No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. To convert to L.P. gas, use L.P. gas conversion kit part no. 8301282. The parts for this kit are in the literature package supplied with range.

D. Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on long runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe- joint compounds, appropriate for use with L.P. gas, must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. L.P. gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system.

E. If local codes permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 4-5 foot (122-152.4 cm) long, 5/8" (1.6 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting this range to the gas supply line. Do not kink or damage the flexible tubing when moving the range. A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to pressure regulator female pipe threads.

F. The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual gas shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room, but external to the range, and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve.

G. If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in- line connection to the range. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

H.The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1-inch (25.4 mm) water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regulator setting:

NATURAL GAS:

Manifold pressure –

5 inches (12.7 cm) W.C.

Maximum pressure –

14 inches (35.6 cm) W.C. L.P. GAS:

Manifold pressure –

10 inches (25.4 cm) W.C.

Maximum pressure –

14 inches (35.6 cm) W.C.

I. Line pressure testing:

Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (gauge):

The range and its individual manual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (gauge) 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 psig (3.5 kPa).
