ENGLISH
This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation
system that blows air downward toward the range.
This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
When the floor covering ends at the front of the range,
the area that the range will be installed on should be built
up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor
covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
and servicing, as well as proper air flow to the range.
Also, make sure the floor covering can resist 180°F (82°C).
See the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" (included in
this manual).
Make sure the wall coverings around the range can resist
the heat generated (up to 200°F/93°C) by the range. See
the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" (included in this
manual).

PROVIDING ADEQUATE GAS
SUPPLY
The range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5” of
water column on natural gas or 10” of water column on
L P.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is configured.
This range is convertible for use on natural or LP gas. When
using this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by
a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the
range.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 5” and 13” of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be
between 10” and 13” of water column. When checking for
correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be
at least 1” more than the operating (manifold) pressure as
given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range must
remain in the supply line regardless of which type of gas is
being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 5/8”
and a max of 5ft. In Canada, flexible connectors must be
single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.
CONNECTING THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing the
old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been
completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
NEVER reuse an old connector when installing a new range.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint
sealant on all external threads.
1. Install male 1/2" or 3/4v 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.
2. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a
backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to
prevent damage.
Make sure the gas pressure regulator valve is open. If it is
shut, remove the rubber O-ring and rotate the lever on the
valve to open it.
INSTALLING THE RANGE
WARNING
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
WARNING
Isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2" psig (3.5 kPa).

NOTE
The regulator valve is open when shipped. If the range
does not work, make sure the regulator valve is still
open.
3. Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
4. When all connections have been made, be sure all
range controls are in the OFF position and the pressure
regulator valve is open before turning on the main gas
supply valve. Gas leaks may occur in your system and
result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be
detected by smell alone.
Check all gas connection joints and fittings for leaks
with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, then wipe off.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL
approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance
with the installation instructions.
If you need to shut off the gas supply to the range, close
the main gas shutoff valve by turning it clockwise.
