Disconnect t his
range and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35,56 cm) water column).
isolate the range 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 I/2 psig (3.5 kPa or
14"(35,56 cm) water column).
LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/Propane
gas. It isshipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/Propane
gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag
containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANEGAS
CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged with
the orifices.
Shutoff Valve =
Open position
Figure 9
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the
same room as the range and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access
to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If
a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and
use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all
joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be
indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or
joints.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in serious injury
or property damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in personal injury and property
damage.
Moving the Appliance for
Servicing and Cleaning
Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main
power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve.
Make sure the range is cold. Open the oven door. Lift the
range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening
without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit.
Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back
of the range when replacing the unit into the cut-out
opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on
the electrical power and gas to the range.
