Installationof the range.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
[] Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Yourrange is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for
LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with tile
t}pe of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible fin" rise on nattli'al oi"
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on
I,P gas, conversion must be made bv a qualified
I,P installer betme attempting to operate tile range
on that gas.
D)r proper operation, tile pressm'e of natm'al gas
SUl)plied to tile _egulator must be between 4" and
13" of water column.
For I,P gas, tile pressm'e SUl)plied must be between
0" ' 3"an(l 1. 01' water coh/i/ln.
X,_]/en checking fin" proper operation ot tile
regulator; tile inlet pressm'e must be at least 1"
greater than the operating (manifbld) pressm'e
as given above.
Tile pressm'e regulator located at tile inlet of tile
range manifi)ld must remain in tile SUl)ply line
regardless of whether natm'al or I,P gas is being
used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect tile range to tile gas supl)ly line should
have an I.D. of l/2" and be 5 teet in length fin" ease
ot installation. In Canada, flexible cmmectm_ illtlSt
be single wall metal com_ecto_ no longer than
6 teet in length.

Connect the Range to Gas
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new
hook-up 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 ot tile
range, the use of an A.G.A.-certified flexible metal
appliance com_ector is recommended tmless local
codes require a hard-l)iped cmmection.
Never use an old cmmector when installing a new
range. If tile hard piping method is used, you ii/tlSt
careflflly align tile pipe; tile range cmmot be moved
alter the com_ection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put l)ipe joint compotmd on,
or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon':: arotmd, all
male (external) pipe threads.
[] Install a manual gas line shut-ofl'xalxe in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside
of the range. Make sm'e eye,Tone operating
tile range knows where and how to shut off
the gas sui)ply to the range.
[] Install male 1/2" flare tmion adapter to the
1/2" NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulator; On models equil)l)ed with standard
twin bm'ne_, install tile male pipe thread end
of tile 1/2" flare tmion adapter to tile 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of pressm'e
regulator: Use a bachlp wrench on tile
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
_4]/en installing the range fl'om the fl'ont,
remove the 90 ° elbow fin" easier installation.
[] Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare ration adapter
to tile NPT internal thread of tile manual
shut-off \:flve, taking care to back-u I) the
sh ut-ofl' \_flve to kee I) it fl'om turning.
[] Cmmect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to pemfit com_ecfion at tile sh ut-ofl' wove.
[] X4hen all com_ections haxe been made,
make sm'e all range controls are in the off
position and turn on tile main gas SUl)ply
wflve. Use a liquid leak detecu)r at all joints
and connections to check fin" leaks in the
svsteI/l.
CAUTION:DONOT USEA FLAME TO
CHECKFORGASLEAKS.
_,_]/en using test pressm'es greater than 1/2 psig to
pressm'e test the gas SUl)ply system of the residence,
discom_ect the range and individual shut-off'w0ve
fl'om tile gas SUl)ply piping. _4]/en using test
pressm'es of 1/9 psig or less to test the gas supply
system, simply isolate tile range fl'om tile gas SUl)ply
svsteln by closing tile individual shut-off'valve.
