Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

■■ This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas Conversions” section. The model/serial/rating plate is located on the oven frame behind the top right side of the oven door 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 if 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller pipe on longer runs may result in insuffient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers deteremine 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.

■■ 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.

■■ 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.
