Jenn-Air JDRP436WP01 Installation Instructions Manual page 8

Gas Supply Line
• Provide a gas supply line of 3A" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size
can be 1/2"(1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON ®t tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
• If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long, 5/8"(1.6 cm) or
3A" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
• A 1/2"(1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the range
pressure regulator.
• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid
pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
Must include a manual shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm)WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm)WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Rating - Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings need to be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown
on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install range.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from range. Keep
shipping pallet under range. Remove oven racks, grates and
parts package from inside oven.
2. Remove screws from kick plate.
A. Kick plate
B. Remove these screws.
3. Push up on kick plate to release plate from shoulder screws.
4. Lay kick plate to the side to avoid scratching the stainless
steel.
