Gas Supply Line

■

Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (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 ½" (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

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■

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

(122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D.,

flexible metal appliance connector may be used for

connecting range to the gas supply line.

■

A ½" (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.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range.

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

1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range.

Keep cardboard bottom under range. Do not dispose of

anything until the installation is complete.

2. Remove oven racks and parts package from oven and

shipping materials.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack 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.

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

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).

3. To remove cardboard bottom, first take 4 cardboard corners

from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of

another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them

lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range

when it is laid on its back.

4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay

it on its back on the cardboard corners.

5. Remove cardboard bottom.

The leveling legs can be adjusted while the range is on its back.

See the "Adjust Leveling Legs" section.

NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a

sheet of cardboard or hardboard on the floor in front of range to

protect the flooring. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up

onto the cardboard or hardboard.
