Fisher & Paykel OR30S Gas Gas Installation Manual page 17

Gas requirements
All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes.
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet
line of the appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to the action
of LP/Propane gas.
The range is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by
●
CSA International for NATURAL (and LP gases with appropriate conversion).
Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualified licensed
●
technician or gas service company. Please provide the service person with this
manual before work is started on the range. (Gas conversions are the responsibility
of the dealer or end user.)
The model/serial rating plate, located below the bottom drawer, has information
●
on the type of gas that can be used.
If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the
●
local gas supplier.

GAS CONNECTION
Manual shut-off valve
A manual shut-off valve must be installed
●
in an accessible location in the gas line
external to the appliance for the purpose
of turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance (In Massachusetts such shutoff
devices should be approved by the Board
of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas
Fitters).
This valve should be located in the same
●
room as the range and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and
closing (in a position where it can be
reached quickly in the event of an emergency).
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to
●
the appliance.
IMPORTANT!
Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve in a location readily
accessible by the customer, so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency
situation. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such
placement.
The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.
●
Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
●
Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's
●
instructions. See instructions following.
When hooking up the gas supply from the wall hard pipe to the range hard pipe, installation
●
length of flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate range being pulled
from wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When range is pulled from wall, no strain
should occur at range or wall hard pipe connections.
