Installation requirements
Gas requirements
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. (conversion kit : 703850)
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.
NOTE
• The rangetop has its own regulator. Use only the provided regulator, which must be
installed in the gas line that runs from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut-off valve.
• An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and the
cooktop for turning on/off gas to the appliance.
• Be sure the connectors are installed by a qualified installer.
• For a new product, never install used connectors, which can leak gas and cause
personal injury. Use only new, flexible connectors.
