Maytag MGS8880DS Dimension Guide - Manual

Type of Gas
Natural gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after
proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas Conversions” section.
The model/serial rating plate located behind the control panel 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.

MGS8880D
Gas supply line:
Provide a gas supply line of ³⁄₄" (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 ¹⁄₂" (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 ®† 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.
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.
