Provide an adequate Gas Supply
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (!.0 kPa) Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be
connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/
Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions
provided with the kit for converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Forproper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the
regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa). The inlet pressure to
the regulator must be at least I " (.25 kPa) greater than
the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples: If
regulator is set for natural gas 4" (I O,! 6 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm); if
regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas
10"(25,4 cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be
at least 11 "(27,9 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the instructions in step 4.
The gas supply line should be _/2"or 3A" I.D.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the
same room as the range and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access
to tile shutoff valve. Tile valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to tile appliance.
Disconnect this range and its individual manual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).
tsolate the range 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 lessthan 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"
water column).
