La Cornue Rotisserie Centenaire - Manual (Page 17)

C ONNECTIONS Gas
The installation of your La Cornue appliance must conform with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, in the USA with the "National Fuel Gas Code",
ANSI Z223.1, latest edition, and, in Canada, with CAN/CGA - B149.1, and CAN
CGA - B149.2, "Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances".
All La Cornue appliances are fully assembled and equipped for use with the type of gas
shown on the rating plate of the appliance.
If no special instructions were mentioned upon ordering, the rotisserie is fitted with
orifice for natural gas.
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (type of gas
and gas pressure) are compatible with rating plate supplied on appliance.
The rotisserie is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 5’’ of Water Column on
natural gas, or a manifold pressure of 11’’ of Water Column on LP gas (Propane).
If the rotisserie is to be used on LP gas, a qualified LP installer must convert it.
We recommend that the rotisserie be converted before installation.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be
between 6’’ and 10’’ of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 12’’ 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 rotisserie manifold must remain in the
supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the rotisserie to the gas supply line
should have an I.D. of ½’’ and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation.
The outlet pressure of the gas regulator is factory set and must not be altered.
For the rotisserie the regulator and the pressure tap can be found at the bottom of the
rotisserie, behind the front cover.
Connect the Rotisserie to the Gas Supply
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old appliance and leave it
off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on
other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on (i.e. gas water heater).
Because hard piping restricts movement of the appliance, the use of a CSA International
certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require
a hard piped connection.
