sion, or fire.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

3. This range is equipped for use with Natu-
ral gas. It is design-certified by A.G.A./
C.G.A. for Natural and L.P. gas with ap-
propriate conversion. Conversion to L.P.
gas can be made using the kit included in
the literature package. The model/serial
rating plate, located on the oven frame
behind the storage drawer panel, has in-
formation on the type of gas that can be
used. If this information does not agree
with the type of gas available, check with
your dealer.
4. Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm)
rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller
size pipe on long runs may result in insuf-
ficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds
appropriate for use with L.P. gas must be
used. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size
can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. L.P. gas
suppliers usually determine the size and
materials used on the system.
5. If local codes permit, a new A.G.A./C.G.A.
design-certified, 4-5 foot (122 -152.4 cm)
long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D.,
flexible metal appliance connector is rec-
ommended for connecting this range to
the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage
the flexible tubing when moving the range.
A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed
for connection to pressure regulator fe-
male pipe threads.
