Connect The Range To Gas; Checking Manifold Gaspressure - GE RGA520PW8 Owner's Manual

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Connect the Range to Gas
The house piping and connector used to connect the range to the main gas supply must be
clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt or liquids (oil or water). Contaminants in the supply lines
can work their way into the range manifold and cause failure of gas valves or controls and clog
burners or pilot orifices.

If tile range is to be connected
to house
piping xdth flexible or semi-rigid metal
appliance connector, conneclor nuts MUST
NOT be connected directly to pipe threads.
The appliance connector must be installed
by using the proper flme union adapters _dth
the connector. Cutoffvalve, appliance
connector and adapters are not supplied
with the range. (Because solid pipe resuicts
moxJng the range, we recommend use of
A.G.A. certified flexible tubing.) In ( anada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 Det in length.
Install a manual slmtoffvalve in tim gas line
in an easily ac(essible lo(ation outside of the
range. Be sure you know how and where to
shut offthe gas supply to the _wnge.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range
to gas, check the system ti)r leaks with a liquid
leak detector at all.joints and connections.
[] Tighten all connections as necessa U to
prevent gas leakage in the range or supply
line.
[]
CAUTION: Do not use a flame to check for
gas leaks.
Clmck alignment of valves after connecting
the range to the gas supply to be sure tlle
manflold pipe has not been moved. A
misalignment could cruise the valve knob
stem to rub on the control panel, resuhing in
a gas leak at the x;tlve.
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off
valve fiom the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures
greamr than 1/2 psig.
Isolate the range fiom the gas supply piping
s):stem by closing its incfivichml manual shuH)ff
valve (hning any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping s}\stem at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig.
Checking Manifold GasPressure
If it should be necessmy to check the manifold gas
pressure, connect manomeler
(water gauge) or
other pressure device m the top burner orifice
fiuthest flom the manflold inlet and mrn burner
xvtlve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least
2 other top burners burning. Be sure the gas
supply inlet pressure is at least one inch above
spedfied range manitold pressure.
The gas supply pressure sh()uld never be over
14 inches W.(. When properly a({justed ti)r
Natural Gas the W.C. pressure is 4 inches; fin 12
Gas the W.C. pressure is 10 inches. The serial
plate, located under the main top in the burner
box area, indicates tot which/ype of gas your
range was timto U a({justed.
