GAS CONNECTION
Be certain the appliance being installed is correct for the gas service being provided. Refer to the appliance data plate for the gas
supply requirements.
A manual gas shut-off valve must be remotely installed and easily accessible in the adjacent cabinet. The regulator inlet is for a 3/4
inch gas line.
0
Use at least a 3/4" commercial flex hose to connect range to the gas supply (service line).
0
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed, in easy access in front of the gas supply (service line) and ahead of the range for
safety and ease of maintenance.
0
All valves must be in the OFF position before connecting to the gas supply line.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRESSURE REGULATOR
0
The regulator installed in the range is adjusted at the factory for 5" WC (natural gas) or 10” WC (L.P.) depending on the
customer’s request. Regulators must not be removed.
0
The regulator can withstand a maximum pressure of 1/2 PSIG (14" WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down
regulator will be required.
0
Any adjustment to regulators must be made ONLY BY QUALIFIED service personnel with proper test equipment.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
0
Ensure supplied gas matches the range’s gas type.
0
Natural gas connection is 3/4" N.P.T. minimum 3/4" diameter flex line.
0
Natural gas inlet pressure to measure 7" to 10" W.C.
0
Propane gas connection is 3/4" N.P.T. minimum 3/4" diameter flex line.
0
LP gas inlet pressure to measure 11" to 14" W.C.
0
A step-down regulator is required at the LP (Propane) source to limit a pressure maximum of 14" W.C. to work with the
regulator provided with the LP range.
Check that all gas connections are properly sealed with a suitable gas joint compound.

1. Turn ON the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas supply line.
2. Remove the kick plate by lifting and pulling away from the unit.
3. Check for gas leaks at the flexible coupling or gas connector fitting using a solution of one part soap and three parts water.
4. Sparingly spray or brush the soapy solution at the gas fittings; active bubbling indicates location of gas leak.
5. If a gas leak is detected turn off the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas line. Call your certified service technician.
