GAS CONNECTION
NOTE:
Pipe joint compound or thread sealant
that is used should be resistant to action of
liquefied petroleum gases.
Before connecting the range(s) to the gas
supply line, be sure that all new piping has been
cleaned and purged to prevent any foreign
matter from being carried into the controls by the
gas. In some cases, filters or drops are
recommended. A separate gas shut off valve
must be installed upstream from the gas
pressure regulator adjacent to the oven and
located in an accessible area.
It is important that adequately sized piping be
run directly to the point of connection at the
range with as few elbows and tees as possible.
Consult local gas company for proper piping
size and gas pressure. Each range has a 1 1/4‖
NPT manifold input located at the front of the
range for battery connection, Figure 5. A 1 1/4‖
union is located at either end of the manifold.
WARNING
CAP ALL UNUSED OPEN ENDS OF THE GAS
SUPPLY MANIFOLD.
WARNING
DO NOT USE A DOMESTIC TYPE GAS
FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR.
NOTE:
If flexible or semi-flexible connectors
are used, use only AGA listed flexible
connectors with an I.D. equal to 1‖ pipe.

Figure 5. Gas Supply Connections
Install the gas pressure regulator with gas
flowing as indicated by the arrow on the
regulator. The arrow must be pointing toward the
unit. Using pipe compound or thread sealant,
carefully thread regulator to pipe so that there is
no cross threading, etc., which could cause
leakage.
1. Apply wrench only to the flat areas around
the pipe tapping at the end being threaded to
the pipe to avoid possible regulator body
damage, which could result in leakage.
2. Connect the gas supply line from the service
gas shut off valve to the inlet side of the gas
pressure regulator using 1‖ pipe. Avoid kinks
or sharp bends that could restrict gas flow.
WARNING
TEST ALL PIPE JOINTS FOR LEAKS
BEFORE
OPERATING
RANGE.
THIS
INCLUDES ALL GAS CONNECTIONS THAT
MAY HAVE LOOSENED DURING SHIPMENT.
USE A RICH SOAP SOLUTION (OR OTHER
ACCEPTED LEAK TESTER) AROUND ALL
PIPE CONNECTIONS AND ALL OTHER
JOINTS. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
ABSOLUTELY
NO
LEAKAGE
SHOULD
OCCUR, OTHERWISE, THERE IS A DANGER
OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION DEPENDING UPON
CONDITIONS. DO NOT USE UNIT IF
LEAKAGE IS DETECTED.
3. Before attempting to operate the oven, turn
gas shut off valve on and immediately check
for gas leaks. After piping has been checked
for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be
fully purged to remove air.
