b. Anyconversionrequiredmustbeperformedbyyourdealeroraqualiedlicen-
sedtechnicianorgasservicecompany.Pleaseprovidetheservicepersonwith
thismanualbeforeworkisstartedontherange.(Gasconversionsarethere-
sponsibilityofthedealerorenduser.)
c. ThisrangecanbeusedwithNATURALorLP/PROPANEgas.Itisshippedfrom
thefactoryadjustedforusewithNATURALgas.
d. Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer and by operating as
belowdetailed:
• Removetheinjectorfromtherearleft(orrearright)burnerandmountthe
proper test point adapter which is available from the After-Sales Service
(seesidegureandthe“OPERATIONSTOBEPERFORMEDWHENSUB-
STITUTINGTHEINJECTORS”chapter).
• Turntherearleft(orrearright)burnercontrolknobtothemaximumposi-
tion.
• Presstheknobandkeepingitpressedcheckthemanifoldpressurewitha
manometer;NATURALgasrequires4.0”W.C.P.andLP/PROPANErequires
11.0”W.C.P.
• Incominglinepressureupstreamfromtheregulatormustbe1”W.C.P.hi-
gherthanthemanifoldpressureinordertochecktheregulator.
• Theregulatorusedonthisrangecanwithstandamaximuminputpressure
of1/2PSI(14.0”W.C.P).Ifthelinepressureisinexcessofthatamount,a
stepdownregulatorwillberequired.
e. Theappliance,itsindividualshut-offvalve,andpressureregulatormustbedi-
sconnectedfromthegassupplypiping system during any pressure testing of
thatsystematpressuresinexcessof1/2PSI(3.5kPa).
f. Theappliancemustbeisolatedfromthegassupplypipingsystembyclosingits
individualmanual shut-offvalveduringany pressuretestingof thegassupply
pipingsystemattestpressureequaltoorlessthan1/2PSI(3.5kPa).
3. Flexible Connections:
Iflocalcodespermit,CSAorULdesign-certied,exiblemetalapplianceconnector
isrecommendedforconnectingthisrangetothegassupplyline.DoNotkinkorda-
magetheexibleconnectorwhenmovingtherange.Thepressureregulatorhas1/2”
NPTfemalepipethreads.Youwillneedtodeterminethettingsrequired,depending
onthesizeofyourgassupplyline,exiblemetalconnectorandshutoffvalve.
4. Rigid Pipe Connections:
Ifrigidpipeisusedasagassupplyline,acombinationofpipettingsmustbeusedto
obtainanin-lineconnectiontotherange.Allstrainsmustberemovedfromthesupply
andfuellinessorangewillbelevelandinline.
• Usejointcompoundsandgasketsthatareresistanttoactionofnaturalorpropa-
negasonallmalepipethreads.
• Donotovertightengasttingwhenattachingtopressureregulator.Overtighte-
ningmaycrackregulator.
5. Leak Testing:
IMPORTANT:Leaktestingoftheapplianceshallbeconductedasfollows:
• Afternalgasconnectionismade,turnonmanualgasvalveandtestallcon-
nectionsingassupply piping and appliance for gas leaks withasoapywater
solution.Duringthistestallappliancegasvalveshavetobeclosed.
• Inordertoavoidpropertydamageorseriouspersonalinjury,neveruseaIighted
match.Ifaleakispresent,tightenjointorunscrew,applymorejointcompound,
tightenagainandretestconnectionforleak.
