• Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
• Appliances must be connected with three (3) foot (36” maximum length)
flexible gas connector and
• A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
Have the dealer where you purchase your new range install it or have him
recommend a qualified installer. Installation must conform with local codes. in the
absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2
Installation Codes in Canada.
The range should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe or a
certified flexible type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing
compound, which is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases, on all threaded
connections.
Important: Do not apply pressure directly to the range manifold pipe when tightening
supply connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the pressure
regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench during the
tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted and split, and
cause a dangerous leak.
The installation of ranges designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation
must conform with the Manufactured Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A. Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada or, when such standards are not applicable with local codes.
The installation of ranges designed for recreational vehicle installation must conform
with state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the standard for
recreational vehicles. ANSI A119.2.2–1982 in the U.S.A. or CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada.
The installation of appliances designed for recreational park trailers must conform
with state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the standard for
recreational park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
Note: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to
check for gas leaks. Use a soap solution. It is not impossible for connections made at
the factory to leak, due to vibration encountered in transportation. Make certain you
have checked them all, and repair any connections that leak.
The appliance 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 ½ psig.
