C. Gas supply requirements
Before connecting to the supply system, be sure that
the Installation
conforms with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI 2223.1-l 980.
These ranges are designed
for easy connection
be-
tween the supply line and the inlet fitting. However, all
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines
so the range will be level and in line.
1. This range is manufactured
for use with NATURAL
GAS. It can be converted for use on LP GAS. The
rating plate located under the main top has the in-
formation on the type of gas this range can be used
with. When in doubt check with your local gas
supplier.

2. Provide a gas supply line to the range location. We
suggest using a/4" rigid pipe, as smaller size pipe
on long runs may result in the gas supply not being
sufficient,
then reduce to
l/2"
as shown above.
With liquified petroleum (LP) gases, the size of pip-
ing or tubing can be
l/2"
minimum. LP gas suppliers
usually determine the size and material used on the
system. We do not recommend that flexible connec-
tors be used in connecting
our appliance to the gas
supply, unless American Gas Association approved.
Poorly designed connectors can be a source of gas
leak. Even when AGA approved flexible connectors
are used the consumer is cautioned against kinking
or damaging the connector when moving the range
for cleaning or any reason. This could cause a gas
leak.
Pipe joint compounds
resistant to the action of LP
gas must be used.
IN MOBILE HOMES:
Any installation
in a mobile home must conform with
the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280) or when such
standard is not applicable,
with the local codes.
3. The supply line should be equipped with a shutoff
valve. This valve should always be located in the
same room as the range and should be in a loca-
tion that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to the shutoff valve.
4. The gas pressure regulator on this model can be us-
ed on either NATURAL or LP gases. The gas sup-
ply pressure for checking the regulator setting is to
be at least 6" W.C.P. NATURAL or 11" W.C.P. LP.
Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag)
are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet. For elevations
above 2,000 feet, ratings should be reduced at a rate
of
4%
for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
Inlet Pressure
The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for both operation
and checking
regulator setting:
NATURAL
GAS:
Minimum

pressure
LP GAS:
6 inches W.C.
14 inches W.C.

The appliance 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
l/2
psig.
b. Testing AT 1/2 Pound Per Square Inch (Gauge) OR
LOWER
The appliance
must be isolated from the gas sup-
ply piping system by closing its individual
manual
shutoff valve during pressure testing of the gas sup-
ply piping system at test pressure equal to or less
than
