American Range AR SERIES - Gas Connection and Shut-Off Valve Installation

RATING PLATE - The information on the rating plate denes the model,
serial number, gas type (natural or liquid propane), operating pressures and burner
BTU ratings. Keep this information for future reference. It is essential for proper
identication of the unit when requesting additional information or factory support.

Owner’s Manual AR Series Ranges
GAS CONNECTION - The single deck oven requires one gas connection; the double deck oven requires two gas connections.
The gas inlet line size of this appliance is 3/4" NPT. For proper operation, the gas service supply line must be the same size or
greater than the inlet line size of the appliance.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE - A gas pressure regulator and a contractor-supplied shut-off valve must be plumbed in the gas
service line ahead of the appliance – in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

The gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas line – failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment
warranty. The regulators supplied with ranges have 3/4" NPT connections; the regulator is adjusted at the factory for
5" W.C (water column) manifold gas pressure (natural gas) or 10" W.C. manifold gas pressure for propane gas operation.
Before connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure – as these regulators can only withstand a maximum inlet pressure
of 14" W.C. (1/2 PSI); exceeding this pressure will damage them. Visually double check any installer-supplied intake pipes and/or blow
them out using compressed air to clear any dirt or debris, threading chips, or other foreign matter – before installing a service line.
Those particles will clog gas orices when gas pressure is applied. Compounds used on threaded joints of this appliance piping must be
resistant to the action of NG and LP gas and provide a gas tight seal to prevent leaks. If the gas supply line pressure is greater than this
amount, a step-down regulator will be required. A gas ow direction arrow is cast into the body of the regulator to minimize installation
error – it should point downstream to the appliance. The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of the regulator and
should not be removed.
Any adjustment to the regulator must be made only by qualied and licensed service
personnel with the proper calibrated test equipment. Gas connections should be performed
by a qualied licensed contractor.
