GAS CONNECTION
All gas connections must comply with national and local codes. The gas supply line (service) must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This range uses a 1/2" NPT inlet (see drawing below for details of gas connection). On all pipe joints use appropriate sealant resistant to gas.
This range can be used with Natural or LP/Propane gas. The range is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
For LP/propane household installation, the appliance must be converted by the dealer, by a factory‐trained professional or by a qualified licensed plumber or gas service company.
Gas conversion is important for safe and effective use of the appliance. It is the responsibility of the dealer and the owner of the range to perform the appropriate gas conversion following the directions of the manufacturer.
THE GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE IS DESCRIBED
IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE PACKAGE CONTAINING THE CONVERSION NOZZLES SHIPPED WITH EVERY RANGE.
Please provide the service person with this manual before work is started on the range.

MANUAL SHUT‐OFF VALVE
THIS VALVE IS NOT SHIPPED WITH THE APPLIANC AND MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE INSTALLER.
