Installation Instructions
^ PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5"
of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propone or butane), 10" 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 LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 6" and 13" of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 11"
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
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
range to the gas supply line should hove on 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 hook-up
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.
Never use on 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 pipejoint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in
on easily accessed location outside of the range. Moke
sure everyone operating the range knows where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install mole 1/2" flare union adopter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to ovoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove
the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install mole 1/2" or 3/4"flare union adopter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking core to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it
from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adopter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections hove been mode, moke sure
all range controls ore 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.
A
warning
Fire hazard: Do not use
a flame to check for gas leaks.
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.
