Installation Instructions

PROVIDE ADEQUATE

GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at

a pressure of 10″ of water column on

LP gas (propane or butane) or, if designed

for natural gas, 4″ of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your

range with the type of gas for which

it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on

natural or propane gas. If you decide

to use this range on natural gas,

conversion must be made by a qualified

installer before attempting to operate

the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of

LP gas supplied to the regulator must be

between 10″ and 13″ of water column.

For natural gas, the pressure supplied

must be between 4″ and 13″ of water

column.

When checking for proper operation of

the regulator, the inlet pressure must be

at least 1″ greater than the operating

(manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the

inlet of the range manifold must remain

in the supply line regardless of whether

LP or natural gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used

to connect the range to the gas supply

line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and be

5 feet in length for ease of installation.

In Canada, flexible connectors must be

single wall metal connectors no longer

than 6 feet in 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 hookup has

been completed. Don’t forget to relight

the pilot on other gas appliances 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 recommended

unless local codes require a hard-piped

connection.

2

Never use an old connector when

installing a new range. If the hard piping

method is used, you must carefully align

the pipe; the range cannot be moved

after 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.

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in

the gas line in an easily accessed location

outside of the range. Make sure everyone

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 at inlet of

regulator. Use a backup wrench on the

regulator fitting to avoid damage.

Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter

to the NPT internal thread of the manual

shut-off valve, taking care to back up the

shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

Connect flexible metal appliance

connector to the adapter on the range.

Position range to permit connection at

the shut-off valve.

When all connections have been made,

make sure all range controls are in the

off position and turn on the main gas

supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector

at all joints and connections to check for

leaks in the system.

When using test pressures greater than

1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply

system of the residence, disconnect the

range and individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply piping. When using test

pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the

gas supply system, simply isolate the

range from the gas supply system by

closing the individual shut-off valve.
