C. Gas supply requirements
Before connecting to the supply system, be sure that the Installation conforms with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
These ranges are designed for easy connection be- tween the supply line and the inlet fitting. However, all strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so the range will be level and in line.
1.This range is manufactured for use with NATURAL GAS. It can be converted for use on LP GAS. The rating plate located under the main top has the in- formation on the type of gas this range can be used with. When in doubt check with your local gas supplier.

IN MOBILE HOMES:
Any installation in a mobile home must conform with the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, with the local codes.
3.The supply line should be equipped with a shutoff valve. This valve should always be located in the same room as the range and should be in a loca- tion that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve.
4.The gas pressure regulator on this model can be us- ed on either NATURAL or LP gases. The gas sup- ply pressure for checking the regulator setting is to be at least 6” W.C.P. NATURAL or 11” W.C.P. LP.
Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag) are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings should be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.

2.Provide a gas supply line to the range location. We suggest using a/4” rigid pipe, as smaller size pipe on long runs may result in the gas supply not being sufficient, then reduce to l/2” as shown above.
With liquified petroleum (LP) gases, the size of pip- ing or tubing can be l/2” minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and material used on the system. We do not recommend that flexible connec- tors be used in connecting our appliance to the gas supply, unless American Gas Association approved. Poorly designed connectors can be a source of gas leak. Even when AGA approved flexible connectors are used the consumer is cautioned against kinking or damaging the connector when moving the range for cleaning or any reason. This could cause a gas leak.
Pipe joint compounds resistant to the action of LP gas must be used.

Line Pressure Testing
a. Testing ABOVE l/z Pound Per Square Inch
Gauge)
The appliance 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 l/2 psig.
b. Testing AT 1/2Pound Per Square Inch (Gauge) OR LOWER
The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup- ply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during pressure testing of the gas sup- ply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than l/2 psig.
