■This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. The model/ serial rating plate located on the right vertical surface of the oven door frame has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the range cooktop from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. To convert to LP gas, use the LP gas conversion kit provided with your range and see the “Gas Conversions” section. The parts for this kit are in the literature package supplied with the range.
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. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE:
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.
■A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the range 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 opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. 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.
