This
range IS manufactured for use with NATURAL GAS.
It can be converted for use on LP GAS. The rating plate lo-
cated under the main top has the InformatIon on the type
of gas this unit can be used with. When in doubt check
with your local gas supplier.
Provide a gas supply line to the unit location. We suggest
using a
74"
rigid pipe, as smaller size pipe on long runs may
result in the gas supply not being sufflclent. Pipe joint
compounds resistant to the action of LP gas must be
used.
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 locatlon that allows ease of
opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff
valve.
If local codes permit, it is recommended that flexible
metal tubing design-certified by the American Gas Asso-
ciation, be used for connecting the appliance to the gas
supply line. [The gas valve connectlon will accept a 3%"
male pipe thread.1
If rlgld pipe
IS
used as a gas supply line, a combination of
pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line connection
to the range.
The gas pressure regulator on this model
IS
convertible
and must be used. This regulator can be used on either
NATURAL or LP gases. The pressure regulator has fixed
outlet pressure at NATURAL and LP settings and these
cannot be changed. The fixed outlet pressure on NATU-
RAL gas setting is 4 inches W.C. On the LP gas setting
the outlet pressure
IS
10 inches W.C.
