CONNECTING THE RANGE (cont.)
Gas Supply
Installation of this range must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. In
Canada the range must be installed in accordance with the current CGA
Standard CAN/CGA-B149 - Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and
Equipment and/or local codes.
A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST
MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance
shall be conducted by the installer according to the instructions
given in step 6.
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas
connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas
fittings and joints in the range if connections were disturbed during installation.
Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will
indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten
connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off valve, and retest for leaks.
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME. WHEN LEAK
CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF ALL RESIDUE.
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST HAVE A NATURAL GAS SERVICE REGULATOR.
INLET PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM OF
14 INCHES WATER COLUMN (0.5 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH (P.S.I.) LIQUEFIED
PETROLEUM (L.P.)/PROPANE GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST HAVE A L.P. GAS
PRESSURE REGULATOR. INLET PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE
REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM OF 14 INCHES WATER COLUMN (0.5 P.S.I.). INLET
PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 0.5 P.S.I. CAN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE PRESSURE
REGULATOR AND OTHER GAS COMPONENTS IN THIS APPLIANCE AND CAN
RESULT IN A GAS LEAK.
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1” water
column pressure above manifold pressure shown on serial plate.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Follow these procedures to remove appliance for servicing:
1. Slide range forward to disengage range from the anti-tip bracket.
2. Shut off gas supply to appliance.
3. Disconnect electrical supply to appliance, if equipped.
4. Disconnect gas supply tubing to appliance.
5. Reverse procedure to reinstall. If gas line has been disconnected,
check for gas leaks after reconnection.
6. To prevent range from accidentally tipping, range must be secured to the floor by sliding rear leveling leg into the anti-tip bracket.
NOTE:
A qualified servicer should disconnect and reconnect the gas supply. The servicer MUST follow installation instructions provided with the gas appliance connector
and the warning label attached to the connector.
HOW TO REMOVE RANGE FOR SERVICING
SERVICE-PARTS INFORMATION
When your range requires service or replacement parts, contact your dealer or authorized service agency. Please give the complete model and serial number of the
range which is located on flip-up plate at the rear of upper left-hand corner or center of backguard.
Your range may not be equipped with some of the features referred to in this manual.
all new branch circuits, mobile homes and when local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral. For a 3-wire cord replacement, service kit P/N 74011285 must be used.
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed
within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A “T” handle type manual gas
valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance. A flexible gas
connector, when used, must not exceed a length of three (3) feet / 36 inches.
Check Pressure of House Piping System
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures in excess of 1/2 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8 in. water column).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8 in. water column).
A GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE SHOULD BE PUT IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION IN THE
SUPPLY LINE AHEAD OF THE RANGE, FOR TURNING ON AND TURNING OFF GAS
SUPPLY. Range is to be connected to house piping with flexible metal connectors
for gas appliances. CONNECTOR NUTS MUST NOT BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO
PIPE THREADS. THE CONNECTORS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH ADAPTORS PROVIDED
WITH THE CONNECTOR.
The house piping and/or range connector used to connect the range to the main gas
supply must be clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt and liquids (oil or water). Dirt,
etc. in the supply lines can work its way into the range manifold and in turn cause
failure of the gas valves or controls and clog burners and/or pilot orifices.
Always use a new flexible connector. Do not use existing flexible connector.
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas
leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you
purchase and install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE:
It is recommended to use a CSA certified flexible connector no longer than 36” (91.4 cm) with a minimum BTU/HR rating of 88,200.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING
THE APPLIANCE.
