Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT:
This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is design-certified by the CSA International for use
with natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
■
This range is factory set for use with natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located on
the frame behind the broiler door has information on the types
of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not
include the type of gas available, check with the local gas
supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas
Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
■
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid pipe to the range
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Pipe joint compounds that resist the
action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum.
Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials
used in the system.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Flexible metal appliance connector:
■
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4-5 ft
(122-152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D.,
flexible metal appliance connector may be used for
connecting range to the gas supply line.
■
A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to
the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance gas
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: 10" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
