Fagor America RFA-244 DF GAS Connection, Ventilation, Manual SHUT-OFF Valve, Flexible Connections

2.5GAS CONNECTION

All gas connections used in this installation must comply with appropriate national and local codes. The gas supply line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line on the range. The gas connection is male 1/2” BSP and is situated 2.16” (5.5 cm) from the right and 22” (56 cm) from the floor. Use the appropriate sealant resistant to gas on all pipe joints.

This range can be used with Natural or LP/Propane gas. The range comes shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

For installations using propane, the fuel settings of the range must be adjusted by the dealer, a licensed plumber, or another trained professional.

Proper fuel conversion is mandatory for the proper and safe use of the appliance. It is the responsibility of the owner of the range or the dealer who sold it to ensure this is done correctly.

VENTILATION

This range should be installed in accordance with the local regulations and used only in a well ventilated space (do not use the range in your garage, basement, room without windows, etc.)

The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated, keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. This range will perform best when used with Fagor ventilation hoods.

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, such as the opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, including but not limited to increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE

A shut off valve does not come with this range. An appropriate valve should be provided by the installer.

A manual valve must be installed in the gas line between the gas hook-up on the wall and the appliance inlet in a location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS

When performing an installation with flexible couplings or quick-disconnect fittings, the installer must use a heavy-duty, AGA design-certified commercial flexible connector of at least 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.
