LP gas conversion:
IMPORTANT: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the
model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving
gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size
pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"
(1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in
the system.
Gas Shut-off Valve:
•
The gas supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve
should be located in the same room but external to the range. It should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Flexible metal appliance connector:
•
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long,
1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used
for connecting range to the gas supply line.
•
A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe
threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
•
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
