If the level doesn’t show that the rack is level,

adjust the leveling legs with a wrench.

Connecting Gas

Providing Adequate Gas Supply

• Your range is designed to operate at a pressure

of 5" of water column on natural gas or 10" of

water column on LP.

• Make sure you are supplying your range with the

type of gas for which it is configured.

• This range is convertible for use on natural or LP

gas. When using this range on LP gas,

conversion must be made by a qualified LP

installer before attempting to operate the range.

• For proper operation, the pressure of natural

gas supplied to the regulator must be between

5" and 13" of water column.

• For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the

regulator must be between 10" and 13" of water

column. When checking for correct operation of

the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least

1" more than the operating (manifold) pressure

as given above.

• The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the

range must remain in the supply line regardless

of which type of gas is being used.

• A flexible metal appliance connector used to

connect the range to the gas supply line should

have an I.D. of 5/8" and a maximum length of 5

feet. In Canada, flexible connectors must be

single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in

length.

Connecting the Range to Gas

WARNING

• Isolate the range from the gas supply system by

closing its individual shut-off valve during any

pressure testing of the gas supply system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi

(3.5 kPa).

• Shut off the range gas supply valve before

removing the old range and leave it off until the

new hook-up has been completed.

• Because hard piping restricts movement of the

range, the use of a CSA International-certified

flexible metal appliance connector should be

used unless local codes require a hard-piped

connection.

• A manual valve shall be installed in an accessible

location in the gas piping external to the

appliance for the purpose of turning on or

shutting off gas to the appliance.

• Never reuse an old connector when installing a

new range.

• To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe

joint sealant on all external threads.

1

Install a male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter

to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-

off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off

valve to keep it from turning.

2

Install a male 1/2" flare union adapter to the

1/2" NPT internal thread at the inlet of the

pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on

the pressure regulator fitting to prevent

damage.
• Check that the gas pressure regulator valve

is in the open position.
