2. Pressure Regulator:
a. All heavy duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure
may fluctuate with local demand.
Before installing the regulator mount the 1/2” NPT (conical) male connector to the
regulator (see picture 2.2).
Gasket supplied has to be placed between 1/2” NPT (conical) connector/extension
pipe male pipe fitting (see picture 2.3).
The regulator supplied with this range must be installed before any gas connections
are made.
Use supplied pressure regulator only.

All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes. This gas supply
(service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. Sea-
lant on all pipe joints must be resistant to the action of LP/Propane gas.
The range is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by CSA Inter-
national for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion.
The model/serial rating plate, located inside the bottom pivoting panel, has information
on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of
gas available, check with the local gas supplier. See page from 16 to 18 for L.P. gas
conversion instructions.
1. Manual Shut-off Valve
(fig: 2.1)
:
A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external
to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance (In Mas-
sachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of
Plumbers & Gas Fitters).
This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing (in a position where it can be reached quickly in
the event of an emergency).
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas
to the appliance.
