[] PROVIDE ADEQUATEGASSUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure
of 4" of water cohmm on natural gas or, if designed
for LP gas (propane or butane), lO" of water
column. Make sure you are supplying your range
with the type of gas for which it is designed. This
range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP
installer before attempting to operate the range
on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 4" and
13" of water column. For LP gas, the pressure
supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water
column. When checking for proper operation of
the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1" greater than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given above. The pressure regulator located
at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in
the supply line regardless of whether natural or
LP gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance
connector used to connect the range to the gas
supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2" and be
5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
E_ COMMECT THE RAHGETO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until
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 of the
range, the use of an A.G.A.-certified flexible
metal appliance connector is recommended
unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a
new range. If the hard piping method is used,
you must careflflly align the pipe; the range
cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound
or wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape around all male
(external) pipe threads.
