INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY LINE

Access to connection is behind bottom storage drawer. The pressure regulator has a 1/2" female pipe thread. It is recommended that a 1/2" close nipple, a union and shut- off valve, be assembled into the regulator. This places the assembly for each connection to the gas supply and access to the shut-off valve as illustrated in Figure 1.

The gas supply pipe to the range should be 3/4" rigid pipe then reduced to 1/2" pipe at the pressure regulator. If a long run of fuel is required, a larger size pipe may be required. With the liquified petroleum (LP) gases, the size of the piping or tubing can be 1/2" minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and material used on the system. We do not recommend that flexible connectors 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 customer should be cautioned against kinking or damaging the connector when moving the range for cleaning or any reason. This could cause a gas leak.

A shut-off valve should be installed in the line supplying gas to the range. Check local building codes and utility requirements. (See Figure 1 for details.)

A suitable pipe thread sealing material should be used, which is approved for use with LP gases.

Caloric ranges are designed for easy connection between 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.

Use two (2) wrenches when connecting to the regulator.

burner valves should be closed and the gas supply turned on. All connections in the gas supply line and in the range should be tested with soap suds for any leaks. If a leak is present, bubbles will appear. The leak should be corrected by tightening the joint, or unscrewing it completely and applying additional dope. Any connections which may have been disturbed should be tested for leaks.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

HAZARD

A LIGHTED MATCH OR FLAME SHOULD NEVER BE USED WHEN TESTING FOR LEAKS. ALL FITTINGS AND CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED AND TESTED AT THE FACTORY. IF A LEAK IS DETECTED, TIGHTEN THE FITTING, DO NOT USE PIPE DOPE ON FACTORY FITTINGS.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD - LEAK TEST COMPONENTS AFTER CONNECTION.

THE REGULATOR IS DIE CAST AND WILL CRACK, RESULTING IN A GAS LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION, IF YOU MAKE THE CONNECTION TOO TIGHT.

The stack on the regulator must be in vertical position. BE SURE to use pipe dope to seal connections.

Be sure the shut-off valve is open between the inlet nipple and gas valve.
