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.

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.
