Installation Requirements
Gas Requirements
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
This oven's installation must conform to local codes or, in their absence, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.
This range's cooktop is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 5 in. (13 cm) of water column for natural
gas/natural gas at high altitude (NG-H) or 10 in. (25.4 cm) of water column for LP (propane)/LP at high altitude
(LP-H).
Verify that the oven is right for the provided gas service.
When verifying regulator function, inlet pressure must be at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) greater than the operating
(manifold) pressure as given.
• The pressure regulator at the inlet of the cooktop manifold must stay in the supply line whether or not
natural or LP gas is used.
• Use only the range's regulator, which must be installed in the gas line that runs from the cooktop gas inlet
to the gas shut-off valve.
• An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and range for turning on/off gas
to the appliance.
•
Ensure the connectors are installed by a qualified installer.
•
To avoid leaks and personal injury, never install used connectors on a new product. Use only new, flexible
connectors.
GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS*

Minimum Gas Supply Pressure**
Natural Gas
5” Water Column
6” Water Column
LP (propane) Gas
10” Water Column

*The gas supply pressure for testing the regulator setting shall be at least 1" water column (249 Pa) above the
specified manifold pressure; **Maximum gas supply pressure for all models: 1/2 psi.
Special Gas Requirements (gas models sold in Massachusetts)
• Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a hazardous condition. Such leaks may not be detected by
smell alone; thus, gas suppliers recommend installing a UL-approved gas detector per manufacturer speci-
fications.
•
The range must be installed by a plumber or gas fitter certified by the State of Massachusetts.
• A T-handle manual gas valve MUST be installed in the gas-supply line to your range.
•
If using a flexible gas connector, multiple lines must not be connected in series.
