Provide adequate gas supply
This range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5 in (13 cm) of water
column on natural gas or 10 in (25 cm) of water column on LP gas
(propane or butane).
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is
designed.
Do not attempt to convert the appliance from the gas specified
in this manual to a different gas without consulting the gas supplier.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use
this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before
attempting to operate the range.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must
be between 5 in and 13 in (13 cm and 33 cm) of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10 in and 13 in (25 cm and
33 cm) of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be
at least 1 in (2.5 cm) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in
the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible-metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas
supply line should have an I.D. of 0.5 in (1.3 cm) and be 5 ft (152 cm) in length
for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single-wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 ft (183 cm) in length.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
