INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
25
1. PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5” of water column on natural gas or, if desired for LP gas (propane 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 quali
fi
ed 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.
Thre 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
fl
exible 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,
fl
exible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6
feet in length.
2. 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-certi
fi
ed
fl
exible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
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 Te
fl
on* around all male (external) pipe
threads.
INSTALL THE RANGE
Tip-Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been
properly installed and engaged to the
fl
oor or wall. Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-
engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip arm just under the bracket.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or
adults.
WARNING
INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET (cont`d)
