GAS HOOK-UP

GAS REQUIREMENTS

Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for natural gas or LP (propane), depending on specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with the gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further. Return the range to the dealer if the unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site.

NATURAL GAS

￿ Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8” dia. flex line.

￿ Supply Pressure: 6” to 9” W.C.

LP GAS

￿ Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8 dia. flex line. ￿ Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.

A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum of 14” W.C. to the range regulator.

HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY

A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.

The gas supply connections must be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 223.1.

CAUTION:

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the building’s gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0” W.C. for natural gas or 12.0” for LP.

NOTE:

The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved by an approved certifying agency (CSA or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic mate- rial, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.

When hooking up the gas supply from range rear hard pipe to wall hard pipe, installation length of flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate range being pulled from wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When range is pulled from wall, no strain should occur at range or wall hard pipe connections (Fig. 17).
