Step 5: Gas Requirements and Hookup

Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site.

As shipped from the factory, units are configured for use with only natural gas or propane (LP) gas. Make certain the range matches the type of gas available at this location. These ranges are NOT convertible between different types of gas.

For installation of the appliance at high altitude, please consult your local gas company for their recommen- dation of the correct orifice sizes and any other necessary adjustments that will provide proper gas combustion at specified altitudes.

CAUTION

When connecting unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the appliance. The pressure of the gas supplied to the appli- ance regulator must not exceed 14" (34.9 mb) water column.

Natural Gas Requirements:

Inlet Connection: 1/2" NPT internal (Minimum 3/4" diam. flex line.)

Supply Pressure: 6" min. to 14" max. water column (14.9 to 34.9 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 5" water column (12.5 mb)

Propane Gas Requirements:

Inlet Connection: 1/2" NPT internal (Minimum 3/4" diam. flex line.)

Supply Pressure: 11" min. to 14" max. water column (27.4 mb to 34.9 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 10" water column (24.9 mb)

WARNING

Gas line must not come in contact with any components inside back cover of range. Run gas line in channel in back of range.

HOOK UP

A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.

The range is supplied with its own pressure regu- lator that has been permanently mounted within the range body.

Use 3/4" flex line to connect between the gas supply and the appliance manifold pipe, which exits the upper rear of the appliance. The appli- ance inlet pipe connection is 1/2" NPT. (See Photo A.) Use caution to avoid crimping the 3/4" flex line when making bends. Suggested length of flex line is 48", however, please check local codes for your area's requirements before installation.

The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54- current issue.

Always use pipe sealing compound or Teflon® tape on the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive pressure when tightening the fittings.

Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accor- dance with the following instructions.

Turn on gas and check supply line connections for leaks using a soap and water solution.

Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Repair all leaks immediately after finding them.

Do not use a flame of any kind to check for gas leaks.
