mnstall a shutoff
vaJve.
Securely
tighten
all gas connections.
ff connected
to LP, have a qualified
person
make
sure

column.
Examples
of a qualified
person
include:
licensed

Type
of gas:
This
range
is design-
certified
by CSA
International
for use
with
Natural
gas or, after
proper
conversion,
for use with
LR gas.
This
range
is factory
set for
use with
Natural
gas.
Gas conversion
instructions
are
provided
in "Gas
conversions"
section.
The model/serial
rating
plate
located
on
the frame
behind
the storage
drawer
or
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
bya
qualified
service
technician.
Gas supply
line:
Provide
a gas supply
line of 3/4"
rigid
pipe to the
range
location.
With
LR gas,
piping
or tubing
size can be 1/2" minimum.
A smaller
size
pipe
on longer
runs
may
result
in
insufficient
gas supply.
Usually,
LR gas
suppliers
determine
the size and
materials
used
in the system.
Pipe-joint
compounds
made
for use with
LR gas must
be used
on pipe threads

Flexible
metal
appliance
connector:
If
local
codes
permit,
a new AGA
or CSA
design-certified,
1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible
metal
appliance
connector
is
recommended
for
connecting
range
to
the gas supply
line. A 1/2" male
pipe
thread
nipple
is needed
for connection
to
pressure
regulator

Do not kink or damage
the flexible
metal
tubing
when
moving
the range.
Rigidpipe
connection:
Requires
a
combination
of
pipe
fittings
to
obtain
an in-line
connection
to the range.
All strains
must
be removed
from
the
supply
and fuel
lines
so range
will
be
level
and in line.
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.

should
be as follows
for proper
operation:
