GAS TYPE VERIFICATION

Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that
the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it
is certified. All models are certified for use with natural
gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane
gas supply will require a conversion kit. Refer to the
product rating label which can be located as indicated on
Page 40.
CAUTION:
When connecting the unit to propane
gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its
own high-pressure regulator in addition to the pressure
regulator supplied with the range. The maximum gas
pressure to this appliance must not exceed 14.0
inches water column (34.9 millibars) from the
propane gas tank to the pressure regulator.
IMPORTANT
All ranges must be installed with a backguard. Model
PRDS304 is shipped from the factory with a standard
9" backguard. For all other models one of three
available backguards must be ordered separately and
installed at the back of the range. The three backguard
choices include a Low Back, High Back Shelf, or
Island Trim. Before using the range, insure that it is
equipped with a proper backguard. Refer to the
Installation Instructions accompanying this appliance
for more information.
