Gas Supply Line
■Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■If local codes permit, a new CSA
¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
■A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
■Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
■Must include a manual shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Burner Input Rating - Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than
½psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than
½psi (3.5 kPa).
