For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator must be no more than 14" of water column
(W.C.) pressure.

For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold
pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" of manifold
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5".

The gas supply line to the range should be I/2" or 3/4"
pipe.

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with

natural gas.

A kit for converting to LPgas is supplied with your
