1 GAS SUPPLY

WARNING Fire Hazard: Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

WARNING Explosion Hazard: Do not exceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making gas line connections. Overtightening may crack the pressure regulator resulting in fire or explosion hazard.

Gas Pressure Regulator

You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied with this range. For proper operations the inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows:

Natural Gas:

Minimum pressure: 6” of Water Column Maximum pressure: 13” of Water Column

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure: 11” of Water Column Maximum pressure: 13” of Water Column

If you are not sure about the inlet pressure contact local gas supplier.

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 Internationalcertified flexible metal appliance connector is

recommended unless local codes require a hardpiped connection.

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 Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

A.Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

B.Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

C.Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

D.Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

E.When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve.

Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

When using pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual

shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressure test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given on rating label of product.
