Jenn-Air JDR8895BAS13 Installation Instructions Manual page 7

Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut=off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
if connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 crn) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 -latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 -latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturers instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
• This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See "Gas
Conversions" section. The model/serial rating plate located
behind the control panel has information on the types of gas
that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the
type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See "Gas
Conversions" section.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2"(1.3 cm) or
3_,,(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 appliance
pressure regulator.
• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Must include a 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. 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: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
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. Pipe-joint compounds that resist
the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON ®t
tape. 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.
