_ CAUT][ON:
(!)When connecting theunit to the propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator. In addition, a pressure regulator was supplied with the range. This second regulator must be installed with the range. The maximum gas pressure to this appliance is not to exceed :[4.0 inches water col= umn from the propane gas tank regulator,
The following must be met when testing supply piping system:
a)The appliance and its individual
b)The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut- off valve during any pressure testing of the gas sup- ply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than :[/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Always Provide Adequate Gas Supply
The Bosch Freestanding Dual Fuel and Gas Ranges are shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. Use this kit to con= vert the appliance for LPgas use if necessary.
,Be sure the range is converted for use with the appropri= ate gas before using it.
,Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of :[0" of water column when used with LPgas.
,When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least :[" greater than the operat= ing (manifold) pressure above. When converting for LP gas use, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be between :[:[" and :[4" of water column. See step 2 "Convert Pressure to Regulator from 5" to :[0" W,C.", next page.
,The pressure regulator located in the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line.
oUse a flexible metal appliance connector to connect the range to the gas supply. The connector should have an [.D. of :[/2" and be 5'in length. In Canada, the connector must be single wall metal and no longer than 6:
