Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Prior to installation, ensure that the local
distribution conditions (nature of the gas and
gas pressure) and the adjustment of the
appliance are compatible.
The range is designed to operate at a manifold
pressure of 4'' of water column on natural gas. A
conversion kit for LP gas (propane or butane) is
supplied with the range. When converted to LP
gas, a pressure of 10'' of water column is
required.
Make sure you are supplying your range with
the correct type of gas.
If the range is to be used on LP gas, a qualified
LP installer must convert it. We recommend that
the range be converted before installation. This
must be done before the range can be used on
LP gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural
gas supplied to the regulator must be between
4
1
/
2
'' and 13'' of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10'' and 13'' 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.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the
range manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being
used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply line should
have an I.D. of 1/2'' and be 5 feet in length for
ease of installation.
Connect the Range to the Gas
Supply
Shut off the main gas supply 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 you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of a CSA International-certified
flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a
new range. If the hard piping method is used,
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 Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside
of the range. Make sure everyone operating
the range knows where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
