Make sure the connector is located as shown in step 5 CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS.
The hose assembly must be with an Rp ½" (ISO 7 1) female thread connection.
The hose assembly must be as short as practicable and comply with the relevant requirements.
The hose must not be kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently deformed.
The hose must not be near or in contact with any hot surfaces
(e.g. base of metal hotlplate, ue, or chassis of underbench oven etc.)

The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the appliance it serves.
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.

than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa.). When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0"
W.C. for natural gas or 12.0" for LP.
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a certifying agency
z
(CSA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the heat may cause the
hose to melt and develop leaks.
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.
