Gas supply
requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
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*.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial
rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000
feet. For assistance when installing the
range at higher elevations, contact your
local service company.
Type of gas: This range is design-certified
by CSA International for use with Natural
gas or, after proper conversion, for use
with L.P. gas. This range is factory set for
use with Natural gas. Gas conversion
instructions are provided on pages 8-9.
The model/serial rating plate located on
the frame behind the broiler drawer has
information on the type of gas that can
be used. If the type of gas listed does not
agree with the type of gas available,
check with the local gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified
service technician.
Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line
of 3/4" rigid pipe to the range location.
With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be
1/2" minimum. A smaller size pipe on
longer runs may result in insufficient gas
supply. Usually, L.P. gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in
the system.
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with
L.P. gas must be used on pipe threads
only.
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA 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" water column.
Examples of a qualified person
include:
licensed heating personnel;
authorized gas company personnel;
and, authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Flexible metal appliance connector: If
local codes permit, a new CSA design-
certified, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended for
connecting range to the gas supply line.
A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is needed
for connection to pressure regulator
connection fitting. Do Not kink or damage
the flexible metal tubing when moving

In the State of Massachusetts, the
following installation instructions
apply:
• Installations and repairs must be
performed by a qualified or licensed
contractor, plumber, or gasfitter
qualified or licensed by the State of
Massachusetts.
• If using a ball valve, it shall be a
T-handle type.
• A flexible gas connector, when used,
must not exceed 3 feet.
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be
equipped with a manual shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same
room as the range and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and
closing. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the range. Do Not
block access to shutoff valve.
Pressure regulator: The gas pressure
regulator supplied with this range must
be used. The inlet pressure to the
regulator should be as follows for proper
operation:
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not
sure about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi
gauge (14" WCP) — The range and its
individual manual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures greater than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP) or lower — The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained
