[] Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4"
LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the
t)pe ot gas fin" which it is designed.
This range is convertible fin" use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on
I,P gas, convei_ion must be made bv a qualified
I,P installer betore attempting to operate the
range on that gas.
For prol)er ol)erafion , the l)ressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator nlust be between 4" and
13" of wamr cohunn.
For I,P gas, the pressure supplied must be between
0" ' 3"
an(1 1. ()['water cohlllln.
of water column on natural gas or, if designed for
X,_]_en checking fin" proper operation ot the
regulatoi; the inlet pressure must be at least 1"
greater than the operating (nmnifi_ld) pressme as
given above.
The pressure iegulator located at the inlet ot the
range manifi)ld l/ltlst IeIllain ill file supply lille
regardless of whether natural or I,P gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply lille should
have an I.D. _ff l/2" and be 5 t_'et ill length fin" ease
ot installation. Ill Canada, flexible cmmectoi_ nlust
be single wall metal c(mnect(n_ no longer than
6 t_'et ill length.
[] Connect the Range to Gas
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 /ou turn
the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement _ff the []
range, the rise oJ[ an A.G.A.-certNed flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-i)iped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new []
range./I the hard piping method is used, you must
careflllly align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put i)ipejoint compound on,
or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all
male (external) pipe threads.
[] Install a manual gas lille shut-offxalxe ill the
gas lille ill an easilx accessed location outside
_ff the range. Make sure eveITone operating
the range knows where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
[] Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the
1/2" NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulatm: On models equii)ped with st;mdard
twin burnei_, install tile male pipe thread end
ot the 1/9" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure
regulatm: Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid danmge.
_._l_en installing the range fl'om the fl'ont,
remove the 90 ° elbow fin" easier installation.
[]
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter
to the NPT internal thread _ff the manual shut-
off wflve, taking care to back-up the shut-off
valve to kee I) it fl'om turning.
Connect fle_ble metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to
pemfit connection at the shut-offwflve.
X'_ hen all connections haxe been made,
make sure all range controls are ill the off
position and turn on the main gas supply
wflve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints
and connections to check fin" leaks ill the
svsteI//.
CAUTION" DO NOT USEA FLAME TO
CHECKFORGAS LEAKS.
X&]_en using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
l)ressure test the gas supply s)'swm of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-offvalve
ti'om the gas supply piping. _]_en using test
pressures ot 1/2 psig or less to test the gas sui)ply
system, simply isolate the range fl'om the gas supply
s\stem by closing the individual shut-off \:five.
