Type of Gas
Natural gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
• This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See "Gas Conversions" section. The model/serial rating plate located behind the storage drawer on the right-hand side oven door frame 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.
Gas Supply Line
Provide a gas supply line of 3A"(1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range 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 ®ttape.
1-®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company.
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
34" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
• A 1/2"(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.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.
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.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Must include a shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff 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 shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the range.
