Use and Care Manual

GAS SUPPL

Y 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 s

upply should be located near the

opening for this appliance and be a

minimum of 1” from the back wall. (See

Figure 2)

FLEXI

BLE 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 l

ocal 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.
