GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
This appliance must be connected with a gas supply line as large or larger ID (net inside diameter) than the gas pipe inlet provided on the rear of the appliance. Connect gas supply to the range(s). Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
Codes require that a gas shuto valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range(s).
Ranges manufactured for use with propane gas are equipped with xed orices.
A gas pressure regulator must be furnished by the installer or plumber at the time of installation. The regulator must be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency. These appliances are rated at the following pressure: Natural Gas - 5" W.C. (Water Column) (1.25 kPa); Propane Gas - 10" W.C.
(2.49 kPa).
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
A.CHECK ALL JOINTS PRIOR TO THE GAS VALVE (SOLENOID) BEFORE LIGHTING UNIT.
B.CHECK ALL JOINTS BEYOND GAS VALVE (SOLENOID) AFTER UNIT IS LIT.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE
GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shuto valve.
FLUE
CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the ow of ue gases from the ue duct located on the rear of the range. It is recommended that the ue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualied personnel.
A minimum of 18" (457 mm) must be maintained between the ventilation system and the cooking surface.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for " Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment ," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
