When shipped from the factory, this unit isdesigned to
operate on 4"(!0,16 cm) water column (! .0 kPa)Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected
in serieswith the gas supply line. To accesstile regulator,
remove the drawer.
For proper 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.
The regulator is set for 4" (10,16 cm)water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must
be at least 5"(12.60 era)water column (1.25 kPa) Natural
gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must beset for
10"(25,4 era)water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure; tile
inlet pressure must beat least 11"(27,9 cm)water column
(2.75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 11). This valve should be located
in the same room asthe range and should be in a location
that allows easeof opening and closing. Do not block
accessto the shutoff valve. The valve isfor turning on or
shutting off gas to tile appliance.Open the shutoff valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gasto move
through the gas line.
The gas supply between the shutoff valve and tile regulator
may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./C.G.A.-
approved flexible metallic,union-connected piping where
local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the
