Whirlpool W10130752A Burner Input Requirements, Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4-5 ft

(122-152.4 cm) long, ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) or ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for eleva- tions 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.

■A ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance gas pres- sure regulator.

■Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.

Rigid pipe connection:

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Line pressure testing above ¹⁄₂ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The range and its individual manual shutoff valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than

¹⁄₂ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ¹⁄₂ psi gauge (14" 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 that system at test pressures equal to or less than

¹⁄₂ psi (3.5 kPa).

■Must include a shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the 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" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pres- sure.
