Gas requirements
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range is shipped from the factory set up
and adjusted for Natural gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered. Verify
that the range is compatible with gas supply at the installation site before proceeding
further. Return the range to the dealer if the unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site.
Natural gas
Connection: ½ ” NPT Minimum ⁄” dia. flex line. Supply Pressure: 6” to 9” W.C.
LP Gas
Connection: ½ ” NPT Minimum ⁄” dia. flex line. Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.
A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum of 14” W.C. to the range regulator.
Hook-up to gas supply
A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from
the front for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude
beyond the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before
connecting the appliance.
The gas supply connections should be made by a
qualified technician and in accordance with local codes
or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the
installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.
Important!
The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the manifold gas
pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0” W.C. for natural gas or 12.0” for LP.
Note: The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved by an approved
certifying agency (AGA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic
material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
When hooking up the gas supply from range rear hard pipe to wall hard pipe, installation
length of flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate range being pulled
from wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When range is pulled from wall, no strain should
occur at range or wall hard pipe connections (Fig. 14).
