Fire Hazard
Range must be connected to a regulated gas
supply.
Gas supply must NOT exceed 1 Cinch water
column pressure. This must be checked by a
qualified technician before installing the
range.
Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks
from gas connections.
New A.G.A. design-certified flexible gas line
should be used when local codes permit.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire or injury.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
This installation must conform with all local
codes and ordinances. In the absence of local
codes, installation must conform with American
National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
2223.1 - latest edition**.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
assistance when installing the range at higher
elevations, contact your local service company.
Type of gas: This range is design-certified by the
American Gas Association (A.G.A.) for Natural or
L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. (See
"Gas conversions" instructions, Pages 6-7.) The
model/serial rating plate (located on the frame
behind the broiler door) has information on the
type of gas that can be used. If the type of gas
listed does not agree with the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service
technician.
Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4'
rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas,
piping or tubing size can be l/2' minimum. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used
in the system.
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas
must be used.
Flexible metal appliance connection: If local
codes permit, a new A.G.A. design-certified,
l/2' or 3/4' I.D., flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended for connecting range
to the gas supply line. A l/2' male pipe thread is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads. Do Not kink or damage the
flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
rpe fittings to obtain
strains must be removed from the
supply and fuel lines so range will
be level and in line.
manual shutoff valve
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped
with a 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. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block
access to shutoff valve.
Pressure regulator: The gas pressure regulator
supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for proper operation:
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above l/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP) -The range and its individual
manual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
equal to or greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at l/2 psi gauge
(14" WCPI or lower -The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
