Type of gas: This range is design-

certified by CSA International for use
with Natural gas or, after proper
conversion, for use with LR gas. This
range is factory set for use with Natural
gas. Gas conversion instructions are
provided in "Gas conversions" section.
The model/serial rating plate located on

the frame behind the storage drawer or

broiler door has information on the type
of gas that can be used. If the type of
gas listed does not agree with the type of
gas available, check with the local gas
supplier. Conversion must be done bya

qualified service technician.
Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply

line of 3/4" rigid pipe to the range
location. With LR gas, piping or tubing
size can be 1/2" minimum. A smaller size
pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Usually, LR gas
suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.

Pipe-joint compounds made for use with
LR gas must be used on pipe threads

Flexible metal appliance connector: If
local codes permit, a new AGA or CSA
design-certified, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible
metal appliance connector is

recommended for connecting range to
the gas supply line. A 1/2" male pipe
thread nipple is needed for connection to

combination of
pipe fittings to

obtain an in-line connection to the range.
All strains must be removed from the

supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.

Shutoff valve:The supply line must be
equipped with a 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.The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the range. Do not

block access to shutoff valve.

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 inchesW.C.
Maximum pressure: 14 inches W.C.

LR GAS:

Minimum pressure: 11 inchesW.C.
Maximum pressure: 14 inches W.C.

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

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP} --The range and its individual

manual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping

system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures greater than

1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP} or lower--The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
