RATING PLATE
-
The information on the rating plate defines the model,
serial number, gas type (natural or liquid propane), operating pressures and burner
BTU ratings. Keep this information for future reference. It is essential for proper
identification of the unit when requesting additional information or factory support.
Appliances must be connected only to the type of gas identified on the rating plate.

MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE
-
A gas pressure regulator and a contractor-supplied shut-off valve
must be plumbed in the gas service line ahead of the appliance – in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in the event
of an emergency.

The gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas line – failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment
warranty. The regulators supplied with ranges have 3/4” NPT connections; the regulator is adjusted at the factory for
5” W.C (water column) manifold gas pressure (natural gas) or 10” W.C. manifold gas pressure for propane gas operation.
Before connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure – as these regulators can only withstand a maximum inlet pressure
of 14” W.C. (1/2 PSI); exceeding this pressure will damage them. Visually double check any installer-supplied intake pipes and/or
blow them out using compressed air to clear any dirt or debris, threading chips, or other foreign matter – before installing a service
line. Those particles will clog gas orifices when gas pressure is applied. Compounds used on threaded joints of this appliance piping
must be resistant to the action of NG and LP gas and provide a gas tight seal to prevent leaks. If the gas supply line pressure is
greater than this amount, a step-down regulator will be required. A gas flow direction arrow is cast into the body of the regulator to
minimize installation error – it should point downstream to the appliance. The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of
the regulator and should not be removed.
Any adjustment to the regulator must be made
only by qualified and licensed service personnel
with the proper calibrated test equipment. Gas
connections should be performed by a qualified
licensed contractor.
