GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Gas supply line:

■ Provide a gas supply line of

location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient
gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm)
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials
used in the system.

NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be
used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122

to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas
supply line.

1

■ A

/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the

female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.

■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the

range.

■ Must include a shut-off valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve. This
valve should be located in the same room but external to the range
opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The
inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

Natural gas:

Minimum pressure: 5" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

LP gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Type of Gas

Natural gas:

This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located behind the
control panel has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the
types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with
the local gas supplier.

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. No attempt
shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the
model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting
the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.

with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1.

CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS

Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm) countertop
depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and 36" (91.4 cm) countertop
height.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination
above the range, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination
installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop
surface.

Range may be installed with zero clearance to combustible construction
at the rear and on the sides below the cooktop.

B. 13" (33.0 cm) upper cabinet depth
C. 30" (76.2 cm) min. opening width
D. For minimum clearance to the top of the cooktop, see NOTE.
E. 30" (76.2 cm) min. opening width
F. 3" (7.6 cm) min. clearance from both sides of the range to the side

wall or other combustible material.
G. Cabinet door or hinges should not extend into the cutout.
H. 3" (7.6 cm) distance from wall
I. 11/2" (3.8 cm) min. from right side cabinet
J. 8" (20.3 cm) width
K. 7" (17.8 cm) min. from floor
L. 2" (5.1 cm) min. from floor

* Drill on centerline 11/4" (3.1 cm) from rear wall for gas supply line.
