Flexible metal appliance connector:
■
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or
¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
■
A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
■
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid
pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
■
Must include a shutoff valve:
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.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown
on the serial plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack Range
1. Remove shipping materials, tape and protective film from the
range. Keep cardboard bottom under range.
2. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.
3. To place range on its back, take 4 cardboard corners from the
carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another.
Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on
the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid
on its back.
4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay
it on its back on the cardboard corners.
5. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.
6. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs.
7. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or
more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or
hardboard.

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install range.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
