ing units available in a number of configurations. All
2

with broil capability.

GAS TYPE VERIFICATION

Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure
that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for
which it is certified. All models are certified for use
with natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance
for use with propane gas supply will require a
conversion kit. Refer to the product rating label
which can be located as indicated on Page 43.
!
CAUTION:
When connecting the unit to propane gas,
make certain the propane gas tank is equipped
with its own high-pressure regulator in addition
to the pressure regulator supplied with the
range. The maximum gas pressure to this
appliance must not exceed 14.0 inches water
column (34.9 millibars) from the propane gas
tank to the pressure regulator.
IMPORTANT
All ranges must be installed with a backguard. The
PD304 comes with a low back. For all other models,
one of three available backguards must be ordered
separately and installed at the back of the range. The
three backguard choices include a Low Back, High
Back Shelf, or Island Trim. Before using the range,
insure that it is equipped with a proper backguard.
Refer to the Installation Instructions accompanying
this appliance for more information.
