Gas Supply Requirements - KitchenAid 8302472A Installation Instructions Manual

Gas supply requirements

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas
supply line.
Install a shutoff valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified
person make sure gas pressure does
not exceed 14" (35.6 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: Range cooktop must be
connected to a regulated gas supply.
A.
This installation must conform with
local codes and ordinances. In the
absence of local codes, installations must
conform with American National
Standard, National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition* or
CAN/CGA-B149 — latest edition*
installation codes.
B.
Input ratings shown on the
model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For
elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m),
ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for
each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level.
(Not applicable for Canada.)

C.
The range is equipped for use with
Natural gas. It is design-certified by
International Approval Services (I.A.S.)
for Natural and L.P . gases with
appropriate conversion. The model/serial
rating plate, located on the surface below
the control panel, has information on the
type of gas that can be used. If this
information does not agree with the type
of gas available, check with the local gas
supplier.
L.P . Gas:
No attempt shall be made to convert the
cooktop from the gas specified on the
model/serial rating plate for use with a
different gas without consulting the
serving gas supplier. Conversion must be
done by a qualified service technician. To
convert to L.P . gas, use L.P . gas
conversion kit part no. 8301282. The parts
for this kit are in the literature package
supplied with range.
D.
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 insufficient 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.
E
. If local codes permit, a new AGA or
CSA design-certified, 4-5 foot (122-152.4
cm) long, 5/8" (1.6 cm) I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended 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 female
pipe threads.
F.
The supply line must be equipped
with an approved manual gas shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the
same room, but external to the range,
and should be in a location that allows
ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to the shutoff valve.

G.
If rigid pipe
is used as a gas
supply line, a combination of pipe
fittings must be used 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.
H.
The regulator must be checked at a
minimum 1-inch (25.4 mm) water column
above the set pressure. The inlet pressure
to the regulator should be as follows for
operation and checking the regulator
setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Manifold pressure –
5 inches (12.7 cm) W.C.
Maximum pressure –
14 inches (35.6 cm) W.C.
L.P . GAS:
Manifold pressure –
10 inches (25.4 cm) W.C.
Maximum pressure –
14 inches (35.6 cm) W.C.
I.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (gauge):
The range and its individual manual gas
shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (gauge)
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 the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
