GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Use a new CSA International approved gas
supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person
make sure gas pressure does not exceed
14" (36 cm) water column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
− Licensed heating personnel
− Authorized gas company personnel
− Authorized service personnel
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
• Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
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.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must
be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Type of Gas
NATURAL GAS:
− This range is designed for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion,
for use with LP gas.
− This range is factory set for use with
Natural gas. The model/serial rating
plate 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.
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. Do not use
TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping
or tubing size must be ½" (1.3 cm)
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used
in the system.
− Gas supply should be located near the
opening for this appliance and be a
minimum of 1” from the back wall. (See
Figure 2)
FLEXIBLE METAL APPLIANCE CONNECTOR:
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leakage and
personal injury. Always use new flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance. To reduce the
possibility of gas leakage, apply Teflon 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-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm)
or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to
the gas supply line. (See Figure 3)
− 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.
