[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS
SUPPLY
Your rmlge is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propm_e or butane), 10" of water column.
Make

II , , , range with the type
of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If w)u decide to use this range on I,P gas,
conversion must be made bv a qualified I,P installer
befl)re attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator ulust be between 4" and 13"
of water
cohul/n.
For I,P gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10"
[I n (l " "
13 of wateI colmnn.
X'_hen checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
oi)erating, (nmnifold) I)ressure as ,gixen abox e.
The pressm'e regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain ill the
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 LD. of
1/2" and be 5 leer ill length for ease of installation. Ill
Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet ill length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before discmmecting
the old range and leave it off mltil the new hook-up has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on
other gas applimaces 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 reconlmended unless local
codes require a hard-l)iped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If tile hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align tile pipe; the range cannot be moved
alter 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. Install a manual gas lille shut-off wflve ill the gas lille
ill an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure eveiTone operating the range knows
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
i'[ing e.
B°
Install male l/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. On
models equipped with standard twin burners, install
the male pipe thread end of the l/2" flare union
adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of
pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing tile range, from the front, remove
the 90 ° elbow tot easier installation.
C°
Install male l/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off wflve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off wflve to kee I) it
fl'om turning.
D. Connect flexible metal
appliance
connector to the
adapter on the range Position range to pernfit
connection at the shut-off xalxe.
E°
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are ill the off position and turn on
the main gas supply \zflve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check ti)r leaks ill the
svsteul.
WARNING: Do NOTUSEA
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test i)ressures greater than l/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off wflve fl'om
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range fl'om the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off wflve.
