INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

2 CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A.G.A.-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. 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 shut-off valve to gas supply line in an easily-accessible location outside of the range. Be sure you know how and where to shut off the gas supply to the range.

b)Install 1/2″ flare union adapter to pressure regulator.

c)Attach appliance conduit to flare union on regulator.

d)Install flare union adapter to external manual shut-off valve.

e)Attach appliance conduit to flare union on

shut-off valve.

f)Make sure service shut-off valve on pressure regulator is in “ON” position.

g)Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

CHECKING MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE

Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14″ of water column pressure (approximately 1/2″ psig).

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 supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14″ of water column pressure (approximately 1/2″ psig).

If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4,″ hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on.

For an accurate pressure check have at least two

(2)other surface burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over 14″ water column. When properly adjusted for Natural gas the manifold pressure is 4.″ For LP gas the manifold pressure is 10.″
