installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around

fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak

appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten
connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off valve,
and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open

flame.

If the alternative piping method shown in figure 5 is
selected for the installation, no union is required. (The
flexible appliance connector illustrated provides the

union joints necessary for servicing.) When a dividing
wall is present and a flexible connector is used it is

recommended for convenience, in both installation and
service, the flexible connector, itself, pass through the

dividing wall. Any flexible connector used with this
appliance must satisfy all requirements stated in

the text accompanying figure 5.

Alternative Piping Methods To
Connect Appliance To Gas Supply

A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR GAS
APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS

SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the
appliance shall be conducted by the installer

according to the instructions given.

Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new
A.G.A. - Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may
be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The
connector must be no more than 5 feet in length. Per
figure 5, use appropriate flare union adapter at each end

of the flexible connector. If a flexible connector is used
assure that both the appliance pressure regulator and

manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to other
permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the appliance
manifold) so as to be physically stationary. See

illustrations below.

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and
fittings in the gas connection between the supply line

shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings and

joints in the range if connections were disturbed during

installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around

fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak

appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten
connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off valve,

and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open

flame.

Pressure Testing

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off

valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 pounds

per square inch (3.5 kPa).
This appliance, as well as its individual shut-off valve,

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test

pressures in excess of 1/2 pounds per square inch (3.5
kPa).

When checking appliance regulator function, make certain
pressure of natural gas supply is between 6 and 14

inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas,
between 11 and 14 inches of water column.

Burner Performance

CAUTION: Never cover control knobs or surrounding

control surface with utensils, towels, or other objects.
Never obstruct free air passage past the control knobs.

The knob openings have been sized to properly control air
entry to the interior of the appliance during operation.

This appliance has no air shutters. Primary air
adjustments are unnecessary. The burners are designed

to provide optimum aeration for all gases without air

shutters. When operating properly, burners should
produce clearly defined, even blue flames. If the flames

have yellow tips or are hazy and otherwise appear to
have insufficient air, obtain the services of a qualified

service technician. Some yellow tipping on LP gas is
normal.

Specified input rates are as shown in figures 16 and 17
below.
