GAS SUPPLY
WARNING
Fire Hazard: Do not use
a flame to check for gas leaks.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard: Do
not exceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making
gas line connections. Overtightening may
crack the pressure regulator resulting in fire
or explosion hazard.
Gas Pressure Regulator
You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied
with this range. For proper operations the inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6” of Water Column
Maximum pressure: 13” of Water Column
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11” of Water Column
Maximum pressure: 13” of Water Column
If you are not sure about the inlet pressure
contact local gas supplier.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off
until the new hook-up has been completed.
Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas
appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of
the range, the use of a CSA International-
certified flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection.
If the hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be
moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound
on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*
around, all male (external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the
range. Make sure everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the
gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the
1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting
to avoid damage.
C. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter
to the NPT internal thread of the manual
shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the
shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position
and turn on the main gas supply valve.
Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections to check for leaks in the system.
When using pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressure
test the gas supply system, simply isolate the
range from the gas supply system by closing
the individual shut-off valve.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1”
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given on rating label of product.

CHECK SURFACE
BURNERS
Push and turn a knob to the LITE position. A
clicking sound indicates proper operation of
the ignition system. When lighting any burner,
sparks will appear at all burners but gas flows
from only the one selected. Once air is purged
from the supply line, burner should light within
4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate the knob
out of the LITE position. Try each burner in
succession until all burners have been checked.
Quality of Flames
Determine the quality of flames visually. Normal
burner flames should look like (A) or (B).
Long, bright yellow flames are not normal.
Normal flames may show signs of an orange
tint when well heated or signs of flickering
orange due to particles in the gas or air.
