Installation
OPTION 1: FLEXIBLE METAL APPLIANCE CONNECTOR:
• Neverreuseoldexibleconnectors.Theuseofold
exibleconnectorscancausegasleakageandpersonal
injury.Alwaysusenewexibleconnectorswheninstalling
a gas appliance. To reduce the possibility of gas leakage,
applyTeontapeorathreadcompoundapprovedforuse
with LP or Natural gases to all threaded connections.
• If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certied, 4 to 5
ft(122to152.4cm)long,1/2”(1.3cm)or3/4”(1.9cm)
I.D.,exiblemetalapplianceconnectormaybeusedfor
connecting range to the gas supply line.
•
A1/2”(1.3cm)malepipethread/adapterisneededfor
connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the
appliance pressure regulator.
• Donotkinkordamagetheexiblemetaltubingwhen
moving the range.
OPTION 2: RIGID PIPE CONNECTOR:
• Therigidpipeconnectionrequiresacombinationofpipe
ttings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The
rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
range will be level and in line.
MUST INCLUDE A SHUT-OFF VALVE:
• Besureyouknowwhereandhowtoshutoffthegas
supply to the range.
• Thesupplylinemustbeequippedwithamanualshut-off
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the range in an easily accessible location. It
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve
is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range. (See

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:
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge (14” WCP):
• Therange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).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge (14” WCP) or lower:
• Therangemustbeisolatedfromthegassupplypiping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressuresequaltoorlessthan1/2psi(3.5kPa).
