Installation Instructions
1PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4 ″ of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 ″ of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4″ and 13″ of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″ and 13″ of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
2CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line
B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″ NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the
E. When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual
