Gas supply requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" water column. Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition*.

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For assistance when installing the range at higher elevations, contact your local service company.

Type of gas: This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with L. P. gas.

This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. Gas conversion instructions are provided on pages 7-8. The model/serial rating plate located on the frame behind the broiler drawer has information on the type of gas that can be used. If the type of gas listed does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas must be used on pipe threads only.

Flexible metal appliance connector: If local codes permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting range to the gas supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is needed for connection to pressure regulator connection fitting. Do Not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.

Rigid pipe connection: Requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block access to shutoff valve.

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: 5 inches WCP

Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP

L.P. GAS:

Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP

Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Line pressure testing above 1/2 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
