GAS CONNECTION
All gas connections must comply with national and local codes. The gas supply
line (service) must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance.
This range uses a ½˝ NPT inlet. Use appropriate sealant on all pipe joints that are
resistant to gas.
This range can be used with Natural or LP/propane gas. The range is shipped from
the factory for use with natural gas.
For LP/Propane household installation, the appliance must be converted by the
dealer, factory-trained professional, or qualified licensed plumber or gas service
company.
Gas conversion is important for safe and effective use of the appliance. It is the
responsibility of the dealer and the owner of the range to perform the appropriate
gas conversion following the directions of the manufacturer.
The gas conversion procedure is described in this manual and in the package
containing the conversion nozzles shipped with every range.
Please provide the service person with this manual before work is started on the
range.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Before operating the appliance, always check for leaks with soapy
water solution or other acceptable method. Check for gas leakage with soapy
water solutions on all gas connections between inlet gas pipes of the appliance, the
gas regulator and, the manual shut-off valve. Bubbles will form with a soapy water
solution if there is a leak.
DO NOT use an open flame when checking for leaks.
