with the current CGA Standard CAN/CGA-B149 -
Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and
Equipment and/or local codes.
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or
gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in
the gas supply line to this appliance.
A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed a
length of three (3) feet / 36 inches.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION: (See figure 7)
A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE
INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY
CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted by the installer according to the
instructions given in section h.
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST HAVE A
NATURAL GAS SERVICE REGULATOR. INLET
PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE
REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM OF 14 INCHES WATER
COLUMN (0.5 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH (P.S.I.)
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.)
/
PROPANE GAS
SUPPLY LINE MUST HAVE A L.P. GAS PRESSURE
REGULATOR. INLET PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE
SHOULD BE REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM OF 14
INCHES WATER COLUMN (0.5 P.S.I.). INLET
PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 0.5 P.S.I. CAN DAMAGE
THE APPLIANCE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND
OTHER GAS COMPONENTS IN THIS APPLIANCE AND
CAN RESULT IN A GAS LEAK.
a. A GAS CUTOFF VALVE SHOULD BE PUT IN AN
ACCESSIBLE LOCATION IN THE SUPPLY LINE
AHEAD OF THE RANGE, FOR TURNING ON AND
TURNING OFF GAS SUPPLY. If range is to be
connected to house piping with flexible or semi-rigid
metal connectors for gas appliances, CONNECTOR
NUTS MUST NOT BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO
PIPE THREADS. THE CONNECTORS MUST BE
INSTALLED WITH ADAPTORS PROVIDED WITH
THE CONNECTOR.
b. The house piping and/or range connector used to
connect the range to the main gas supply must be
clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt and liquids (oil
or water). Dirt, etc. in the supply lines can work its way
into the range manifold and in turn cause failure of the
gas valves or controls and clog burners and/or pilot
orifices.
CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT OR MOVE RANGE BY
DOOR HANDLES, OR BACKGUARD.
c. Turn off all pilots and main gas valve of other gas
appliances.
d. Turn off main gas valve at meter.
e. Before connecting range, apply pipe thread compound
approved for LPG to all threads.
f. Connect range to gas supply at appliance pressure
regulator using adaptors supplied with flexible
connector. Rigid pipe may also be used. See rating
plate for type of gas range has been manufactured for.
g. Turn on main gas valve at meter, and relight pilots at
other gas appliances.
IMPORTANT
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all
joints and fittings in the gas connection between
the supply line shut-off valve and the range.
Include gas fittings and joints in the range if
connections were disturbed during installation.
Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around fittings
and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak
appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas
shut off valve, and retest for leaks.
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A
FLAME.
WHEN LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF ALL
RESIDUE.
WARNING
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a
dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected
by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you
purchase and install an UL approved gas detector.
Install and use in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s instructions.
CHECKING PRESSURE OF HOUSE PIPING
SYSTEM
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8 in. water
column).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8 in. water column).
