Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your rmlge is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water cohunn on natural gas or, if desi_md for LP gas
(propmm or butane), 10" of water cohunn.
Make sure you are SUl)plyii_g your range with the _'pe of
gas fin" which it is designed.
This range is convertible fi_i" use on natural or l)ropane
gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, convei_ion
must be made b)' a qualified 12 installer before
attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressm'e of natm'al gas
supplied to the regulator illtlSt be between 4" and 13"
of water cohlil/n.
For I,P gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10"
and l 3" ot water cohmm.
When checking fin" proper operation of the regulatm,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manilold) pressm'e as given above.
The pressm'e regulator located at the inlet of the range
manilold illtlSt remain in the SUl)ply line regardless ot
whether natural or I,P gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance com_ector used to com_ect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. otl/2"
and be 5 fl_et in length fin" ease ot installation. In Canada,
flexible com_ecto_ must be single wall metal cmmecto_
no longer than 6 teet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before discommcth_g
the old rmlge and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas applimlces 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 cmmector is recommended mdess local codes
require a hard-i)iped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must careflflly
align the I)ipe; the range cmmot be moved alter the
connection is II/ade.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compotmd on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* arotmd, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off'wflve in the gas line in
an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make
sm'e everyone operating the range knows where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator: Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range fl'om the fl'ont, remove the
90 ° elbow tot easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare ration adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off \_flve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off \_flve to kee I) it
fl'om mrning.
D. Com_ect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to pemfit
com_ection at the shut_fl \zflve.
E. X_]_en all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and mrn on
the main gas sui)ply \:five. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check fin" leaks in
the system,
When using test i)ressures greater than l/2 psig to
i)ressure test the gas supi)ly s):stem of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off wflve
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
fl'om the gas supply piping. When using test pressm'es
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas SUl)ply system, simply
isolate the range fl'om the gas supply system by closing
the individual shut-off' wflve.
