Provide an adequate
Gas Supply
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on 4" (10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)
Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible
pressure
regulator is connected to the range manifold and
MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line.
If LP/Propane
conversion
kit has been used, follow
instructions
provided with the kit for converting
the
pressure regulator to LP/Propane
use.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
For proper
operation,
the maximum inlet pressure
to the regulator should be no more than 14" (35,56
cm) of water column pressure (3,5 kPa). The inlet
pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (0,25 kPa)
greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting.
Examples: If regulator is set for natural gas 4" (10,16
cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least
5" (12,7 cm); if regulator has been converted for LP/
Propane gas 10" (25,4 cm) manifold pressure, inlet
pressure must be at least 11" (27,9 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the instructions
in step 4.
The gas supply line should be ½" or ¾" I.D. (Interior
Diameter)
|
Seal the openings
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and
in the floor under the range after gas supply line is
installed.
Connect
the range to the gas
supply
important:
Remove all packing material and literature
from range before connecting gas and electrical
supply.
To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all external
pipe threads.
Your regulator is in location as shown in figure 3.
_Do
not allow regulator
to rotate on
pipe when tightening
fittings.
Connection
to Pressure
Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.
_Do
not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening
may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply
pipe to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. manual shutoff valve (not included)
2. 1/2" nipple (not included)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included)
4. flexible connector
(not included)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included)
6. 1/2" nipple (not included)
7. pressure regulator (included)
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural
and LP/Propane
gas to seal all gas connections.
If
flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors
are
not kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
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.
Do not block
access to the
.,_
shutoff valve.
The valve is
for turning on
or shutting
off gas to the
appliance.
