30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.
Gas Supply Installation
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)
Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure
regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST
be connected in series with the gas supply line. The gas
connector is located as shown on figure 2. It is accessible
from front of the range.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).
The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1"
(.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure
setting. The regulator is set for 4"(10,16 cm) water
column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet
pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column
(1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator
must be set for 10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa)
manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least
11"(27,9 cm) water column (2.75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 4 and 5). 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.
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Open the
shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes
for gas to move through the gas line.
The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the
regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by CSA-
approved flexible metallic union-connected piping where
local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of
the right cabinet. The left side cabinet is an ideal location
for the main shutoff valve, if the range is installed within
cabinet storage space
Connection to Pressure Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.
The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be
1/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
The user must know the location of the main shutoff
valve and have easy access to it.
When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow
sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.
NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched
between the wall and the range.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. Manual shut-off valve (not supplied)
2. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)
4. Flexible connector (not supplied)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)
6. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)
7. Pressure regulator (supplied)

Open position
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
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. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer.
If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply
and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all
joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be
indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or
joints.
