Installation Instructions
rT] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range isdesigned to operate at a pressure of 4"
of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LPgas
(propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Makesure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which itisdesigned.
Thisrange is convertible for use on natural or propane gas.
Ifyou decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must
be made by a qualified LPinstaller before attempting to
operate the range on that gas.
Forproper operation, the pressureof natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 4" and 15" of water
column.
ForLPgas,the pressuresupplied must be between 10"
and 15" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,the
inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the operating
(manifold)pressure as given above.
Thepressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain inthe supply line regardless
of whether natural or LPgas is being used.
Aflexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D.of 1/2" and
be 5feet in lengthfor easeof installation. InCanada,flexible
connectors must be singlewall metal connectors no longer
than 6 feet in length.
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supplg valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when gou turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the useof a CSAInternational-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unlesslocal codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never usean old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method isused,you must carefully align
the pipe;the range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks,put pipe-joint compound on,or wrap
pipe-thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Installa manual gas lineshut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside ofthe range.
Make sureeveryone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B.Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Usea backup wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. Installmale 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back up the shut-off valve to keepit from turning.
D.Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Positionrange to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E.When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas supply valve. Usea liquid leak detector
at alljoints and connections to check for leaks in
the system.
WARNING: DONOTUSEAFLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
