Gas Supply Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 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. The gas connector is
located as shown on figure 3. It is accessiblefrom front of

the range.
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 1" (.25
kPa)greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting.

The regulator isset for 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must
be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column (1.25 kPa) Natural

gas. For LP/Propanegas, the regulator must be set for

10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa)manifold pressure;
the inlet pressure must be at least 11 "(27,9 cm) water
column (2.75 kPa).

The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 4 and 5). 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 the appliance. Open the shutoff valve

in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.

The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator
may be connected by rigid piping or by CSA-approved
flexible metallic union-connected piping where local codes
permit use.

The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the
right cabinet. The right side cabinet isan ideal location for
the main shutoff valve, if the range is installed within
cabinet storage space

Connection to Pressure Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.

Do not make the connection too tight.

The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be

1/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
The user must know the location of the main shutoff

valve and have easy access to it.
When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow

sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.

NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched
between the wall and the range.

connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
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 the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.

Check for leaks, After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If

a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and
use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all

joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be

indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or

joints.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame

may result in a fire or explosion.

All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be

installed must be sealed.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas

leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff

valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater

than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35,56 cm)water column).

Isolate 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 less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or
14"(35,56 cm) water column).

D Range Placement

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from

reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the range should be avoided. If

cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects

horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinet.

3. Check the Igniters

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks and range has been connected to
electric power. To check for proper lighting:

a. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE

position. All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.

b.The surface burner should light once the flow of gas

reached the surface burner. Each burner should light
within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air
has been purged from supply lines. Visually check that

burner has lit.

c. Once the burner lights, the control knob should be

rotated out of the LITEposition.
There are separate ignition devicesfor each burner. Try each
knob separately until all burner valves have been checked.
