INSTALLATION Continued

WARNING Failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty!

Rigid Connections

Double-check any installer-supplied intake pipes visually and clear any dirt particles, threading chips, or other foreign matter before installing in a service line. Those particles will clog orifices when gas pressure is applied.

WARNING All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for LP gas, and all connections must be tested with a soapy solution before lighting any pilots!

Flexible Couplings & Connectors.

If the unit is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick disconnect fittings, the installer must use an AGA design-certified commercial flexible connector or at least 3/4” NPT (with suitable strain relief’s) in compliance with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 /CSA 6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 / CSA 6.9. Domestic connectors are not suitable!

Manual Pilot Valve

All burners are equipped with constant-burning pilots. These should be manually lighted immediately after the gas is turned on and the system is checked for leaks. Pilots can be reached with a long match or taper down from the top if the grates and radiants have not yet been installed, or through the observation/adjustment openings in the valve cover between the burner valve knobs. These openings also contain the pilot valves, which are screwdriver adjustable.

Testing and Adjustments

Check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy solution before lighting any pilots. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! Putting open flame beside a new connection is not only dangerous, but will often miss small leaks that a soapy solution would find.

All U.S. Range appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory, effectively matching them to sea level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure proper operation may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude; variations in gas characteristics, to correct possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel.

These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer, installer and/or dealer and are not covered by the U.S. Range warranty.
