Amana FREESTANDING GAS RANGE, Installation Instructions Manual, Page: 6 / 32

Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: 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.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is design-certified by the CSA International for use
with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
■
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located on
the frame behind the broiler door has information on the types
of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not
include the type of gas available, check with the local gas
supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas
Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
■
Provide a gas supply line of 3 ⁄
4
" 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 can be 1 ⁄
2
" minimum.
Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials
used in the system.
