PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5"
of water.column.on.natural.gas.or,.if.designed.for.LP.gas.
(propane.or.butane),.10".of.water.column .
Make.sure.you.are.supplying.your.range.with.the.type..
of.gas.for.which.it.is.designed . .
This.range.is.convertible.for.use.on.natural.or..
propane.gas . . If.you.decide.to.use.this.range.on.LP.gas,.
conversion.must.be.made.by.a.qualified.LP.installer.
before.attempting.to.operate.the.range.on.that.gas .
For.proper.operation,.the.pressure.of.natural.gas.supplied.
to.the.regulator.must.be.between.5".and.13".of.water.
column . .
For.LP.gas,.the.pressure.supplied.must.be.between.10".
and.13".of.water.column . .
When.checking.for.proper.operation.of.the.regulator,..
the.inlet.pressure.must.be.at.least.1".greater.than.the.
operating.(manifold).pressure.as.given.above . .
The.pressure.regulator.located.at.the.inlet.of.the.range.
manifold.must.remain.in.the.supply.line.regardless.of.
whether.natural.or.LP.gas.is.being.used . .
A.flexible.metal.appliance.connector.used.to.connect.the.
range.to.the.gas.supply.line.should.have.an.I . D . . of.1/2".
and.be.5.feet.in.length.for.ease.of.installation . . In.Canada,.
flexible.connectors.must.be.single.wall.metal.connectors.
no.longer.than.6.feet.in.length .

.CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
2
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up
has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on
other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because.hard.piping.restricts.movement.of.the.range,..
the.use.of.a.CSA.International-certified.flexible.metal.
appliance.connector.is.recommended.unless.local.codes.
require.a.hard-piped.connection . .
Never.use.an.old.connector.when.installing.a.new.range . .
If.the.hard.piping.method.is.used,.you.must.carefully.align.
the.pipe;.the.range.cannot.be.moved.after.the.connection.
is.made .
To.prevent.gas.leaks,.put.pipe.joint.compound.on,.or.wrap.
pipe.thread.tape.with.Teflon*.around,.all.male.(external).
pipe.threads .
A... I nstall.a.manual.gas.line.shut-off.valve.in.the.gas.line.in.
an.easily.accessed.location.outside.of.the.range . . Make.
sure.everyone.operating.the.range.knows.where.and.
how.to.shut.off.the.gas.supply.to.the.range .
B... I nstall.male.1/2".flare.union.adapter.to.the.1/2".NPT.
