Gas connection
*INSTALLATION*


Connection to the gas supply
should only be undertaken by an
approved and registered gas
installer.
In Massachusetts, the gas
connection may be performed only
by a certified gas installer.
The Range must be connected with
its own faucet.
The gas connection must be
installed so that connection can be
made either from inside or outside
the kitchen unit. The faucet must be
easily accessible and visible (by
opening the door panel if necessary).
The connection of the Range can be
for natural gas NG or liquid propane
LP according to the model.
Ask your gas company what kind of
gas is used and compare it with the
specifications on the data tag.
The Range is not connected to an
exhaust vent.
During the setup and connection of
the Range, observe the applicable
installation conditions, especially
suitable ventilation measures.
The gas connections must be
arranged in such a way that they are
not heated and damaged by the
operation of the Range.
In particular, make sure that the gas
hose lines and connection fittings on
the Range do not come into contact
with hot exhaust gases.
Flexible connection lines can be
damaged by incorrect routing.
Attach flexible connection lines in
such a way that they do not come
into contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g., a drawer) and are not
exposed to mechanical stress.
The Range and the faucet must be
disconnected from the gas supply
during a gas pressure test.
Disconnect the Range and the faucet
from the gas supply before
performing a gas pressure test at a
pressure of more than 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPA). Close the faucet of the gas
supply before performing a gas
pressure test at a pressure of less
than or equal to 1/2 psi (3.5 kPA).
For the gas connection, note that it is
a 1/2" NPT thread. Incorrectly sealed
gas lines can lead to a gas leak and
thus to an explosion.
Seal all gas lines with a suitable
thread sealant.
Seal tightness tests on the Range
must be performed according to
manufacturer specifications.
The gas connection must be carried
out by a Miele authorized technician
in accordance with local regulations
and the following codes:
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z 21.1/
NFPA No. 54 for the United States or
the current Can/CGA B 149.1 and 2
Installation Codes of Gas Appliances
for Canada.
