Step 8. Convert to LP gas (optional)
All new gas ranges are shipped from the factory set up to use natural gas. Any
Samsung gas range can be converted to use LP gas. Refer to page 57 in the User
Manual to contact a qualied service technician.
The conversion process should only be performed by a qualied LP gas installer.
Conversion instructions and LP orices will be supplied with the LP conversion kit.
The conversion to LP requires all burner orices to be changed (5 surface burners).
In addition, the nozzle on the gas pressure regulator needs to be reversed. All
replaced orices must be left with the consumer, including the instructions and
retrot sizes and orice indication.
Checking the ame quality all burner after converting to LP gas.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard-piping method
is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the
connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with
Teon on all male (external) pipe threads.
1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed
location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
2. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) are union adapter to the 0.5-in (1.3-mm) NPT
internal thread at the regulator inlet. Use a backup wrench on the regulator
tting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90 ° elbow for easier
installation.
3. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) or 0.75-in (1.9-mm) are 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.
4. Connect exible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range.
Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5. When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the
off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
WARNING
To prevent death, personal injury, explosion, and/or re hazard, DO NOT use a
ame to check for gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than ½ psig to pressure-test the gas supply
system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of ½ psig or less to test the gas
supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
