Gas Hook-Up / Testing And Adjustments - Capital MCR304 Use And Care & Installation Manual

CAUTION! When connecting unit to Propane (LP)
gas. Make certain the propane tank is equipped
with its own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the appliance t he
pressure & the gas supplied to the appliance regulator
(
must not, exceed 14" 37 mb) water column. A
pressure test point is provided near the regulator
behind the kick plate.
NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS:

Inlet Connection: 1/2" N.P.T.

Min. 5/8" Dia. Flex Line.

Supply Pressure: 6" to 14" W.C.
PROPANE (LP) GAS REQUIREMENTS:

Inlet Connection: 1/2" N.P.T.

Min. 5/8" Dia, Flex Line.

Supply Pressure: 11" to 14" W.C.

A Regulator is required at the LP source to
provide a maximum of 14" W.C. pressure to the
range regulator.
HOOK UP
WARNING! Gas line cannot be run inside back
cover of range. Run gas line in channel in back
of range.

A manual shut off valve must be installed external
to the range in an accessible location from the front
for shutting off the gas supply when required.

The supply line MUST NOT protrude beyond the
back of the range.

Ensure that the gas supply is turned OFF at the
external shut-off valve before connecting the range.

The gas supply connection must be made by an
experienced technician and in accordance with
local codes or ordinances. In the absence of
local codes or ordinances, please refer to
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54-
Current Issue.

GAS HOOK-UP / TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS


Use 5/8" diameter flex line to connect between
the gas supply and the appliance manifold pipe,
which exists at the upper left rear of the
appliance. The
connection is 1/2". Use caution to avoid crimping
the 5/8" flex line.

NOTE: the flex line for the gas supply must be
metal and approved by an approved certifying
agency (AGA, CGA, CSA, UL or CUL). NEVER
use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic
material as the heat may cause the hose to melt
and develop leaks, thus causing fires, physical
and property damage.

Always use a pipe sealant approved for gas
installations dope or Teflon tape on the pipe
threads, and be careful not to apply excessive
pressure when tightening the fittings.

Leak testing of the appliance shall be in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Turn on gas and check supply line connections
for leaks using a soap solution. Never use a
flame of any sort to test for leaks.
CAUTION! The appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 112 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 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 6.0".
DO NOT attempt any adjustment of the
pressure regulator.

TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
Install any loose components, such as burner caps and
grates, oven racks that may have been removed earlier to
facilitate moving the appliance. Be certain that burner
caps seats properly into the alignment slots in the burner
bases. Before testing operation of the appliance, verify that
the unit and the gas supply have been carefully
checked for leaks and that the unit has been connected
to the electrical power supply. Turn the manual gas shut-
off valve to the open position. Check the operation of
the sealed gas burners by pushing and turning each
knob counterclockwise to "Hl". The burner igniters will
click until the flame ignites. Burner flames should be
BLUE and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise, or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of
these conditions exist, check that the air shutter (grill
and griddle only) or burner ports are not blocked or
clogged. Remove any blockages that exist. If the flame is
too yellow, indicating insufficient air, adjust the shutter
counterclockwise to increase air inlet (grill and
griddle only).
The sealed top burner flames should be approximately
1" to 1-1/4" High.
CAUTION! A qualified technician must make
burner adjustments at the time of installation.
Improper or lack of adjustments may cause harmful
by-products or void your warranty!
