WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell. Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA. For more information, contact your gas supplier. If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.

In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:

■ Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by

the State of Massachusetts.

■ If using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type.

■ A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.

GAS CONVERSIONS

IMPORTANT: Gas conversions must be done by a qualified installer. Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply to the range prior to disconnecting the electrical power.

WARNING

This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with this kit.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure

gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

LP Gas Conversion

1. Turn the manual shutoff valve to the closed position.

A. To range B. Shutoff valve (closed position) C. Gas supply line

2. Unplug range or disconnect power.

To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator

1. Remove screws from kick plate.

A. Kick plate B. Remove these screws.

2. Push up on kick plate to release plate from shoulder screws.

3. Gently lay kick plate aside to avoid scratching the stainless

steel.

4. Locate the gas pressure regulator at the left rear of the range.

A. Gas pressure regulator

5. Remove the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flat-

blade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap counterclockwise.

NOTE: Do not remove the spring beneath the cap.

6. Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on the

regulator: For Natural gas to LP, the hollow end faces outward and the letters “LP” are visible. For LP to Natural gas, the hollow end faces inward and the letters “NAT” are visible.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ 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 the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

To Convert Oven Bake Burner (30" [76.2 cm] and 36" [91.4 cm] models and the Right Oven Cavity on 48" [121.9 cm] models)

1. Remove oven racks and the extendable roller rack from

inside the oven cavity. See the “Extendable Roller Rack” section in the Use and Care Guide.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install oven doors.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

7. Tighten the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flat-

blade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap clockwise.

8. Test the gas pressure regulator and gas supply line.

The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1" (2.5 cm) water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regulator setting:

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure 11" (27.9 cm) WCP Maximum pressure 14" (35.6 cm) WCP

2. Remove the oven door. See the “Oven Door” section in the

Use and Care Guide.

3. Slide the bake burner cover to the right or left.

A. Bake burner cover

4. Lift up and remove oven bake burner cover and set aside.
