Instructions packed with product. Specifications subject to change without notice.
Gas supply: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9
cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size
pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas
supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of
LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape. With
LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm)
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the
size and materials used in the system.
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to
5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9
cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be
used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for
connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to
the appliance pressure regulator.
The supply line must be equipped with a manual
shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the
same room but external to the range. It should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do
not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
Electrical: A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 amp,
fused electrical circuit is required. A time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this range be provided.
