appliance should be reduced to a maximum of 14 inches
water column (0.5 pounds per square inch (PSI))
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) / PROPANE GAS SUPPLY LINE
MUST HAVE AN L.P. GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR. Inlet
pressure to this appliance should be reduced to a maximum
of 14 inches water column (0.5 PSI)
INLET PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 0.5 P.S.I. CAN DAMAGE
THE APPLIANCE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND OTHER GAS
COMPONENTS IN THIS APPLIANCE AND CAN RESULT IN A
GAS LEAK.
a. A GAS CUTOFF VALVE MUST BE PUT IN AN
ACCESSIBLE LOCATION IN THE SUPPLY LINE AHEAD OF
THE RANGE, FOR TURNING ON AND TURNING OFF GAS
SUPPLY. If range is to be connected to house piping with
flexible or semi-rigid metal connectors for gas appliances,
CONNECTOR NUTS MUST NOT BE CONNECTED

Dirt, etc. in the supply lines can work its way into the
range manifold and in turn cause failure of the gas valves
or controls and clog burners and/or pilot orifices.
CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT OR MOVE RANGE BY DOOR
HANDLES, OR BACKGUARD; DAMAGE TO THE UNIT
MAY RESULT.
c. Turn off all pilots and main gas valve of other gas
appliances.
d. Turn off main gas valve at meter.
e. Before connecting range, apply pipe thread
f. Connect range to gas supply at appliance pressure
regulator. Use adaptors supplied with flexible connector.
Rigid pipe may also be used. See rating plate for type
g. Turn on main gas valve at meter, and relight pilots at
other gas appliances.
h. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints
and fittings in the gas connection between the supply
line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings and
joints in the range if connections were disturbed during
installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around
fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak
appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten
connections, turn on the supply line gas shut-off valve,
and retest for leaks.
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME;
FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.
WHEN LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF ALL
RESIDUE.
CHECKING PRESSURE OF HOUSE PIPING
SYSTEM
1. 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 0.5 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 k Pa) (13.8 in. water column).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 lbs ./sq.
in. ( 3.5 k Pa) (13.8 in. water column).
