Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International
approved gas supply line.
Install a shut=off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
if connected to LP, have a qualified
person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: 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 Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 -
latest edition.
IMPORTANT:
Range cooktop must be connected to a regulated
gas supply.
IMPORTANT:
Leak testing of the range cooktop must be
conducted
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is design-certified
by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
•
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. The model/
serial rating plate located on the right vertical surface of the
oven door frame has information on the types of gas that can
be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of
gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the range cooktop from the
gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a
different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. To
convert to LP gas, use the LP gas conversion kit provided with
your range and see the "Gas Conversions"
section. The parts for
this kit are in the literature package supplied with the range.
Gas Supply
Line
•
Provide a gas supply line of 3A" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size
can be 1/2"(1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds
that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON ®t tape.
Flexible metal appliance
connector:
•
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long, %" (1.6 cm) or
3A" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
•
A 1/2"(1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the range
pressure regulator.
•
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination
of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid
pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
Must include a manual shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
