Installation Guide
12
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes and
ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with
American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest
edition or CAN/CGA B149 – latest edition.
I
MPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to
the manufacturers instructions.
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 on the right side oven door
trim 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.
L
P gas conversion:
IMPORTANT: 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 ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. With LP gas, piping
or tubing size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine
the size and materials used in the system.
G
as Shut-off Valve:
•
The gas supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve
should be located in the same room but external to the range. 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.

Installation Requirements

Flexible metal appliance connector:
•
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 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 ½" (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.
R
igid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be aligned with the range
connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
range will be level and in line.
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:
N
atural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
L
P gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
B
urner 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).
