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. With propane gas, piping or tubing size
can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, propane gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE:
Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action used. Do not
use TEFLON

tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
�
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122
to 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.
�
Must include a shutoff valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
A. Gas supply line
B. Shutoff valve “open” position
C. To range
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used.
The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper
operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Propane gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"
(2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
[14" (35.6 cm) WCP]
The range 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
[14" (35.6 cm) WCP] or lower
The range 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION
Unpack Range
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1.
Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range.
Keep cardboard bottom under range. Do not dispose of
anything until the installation is complete.
2.
Remove oven racks and parts package from oven and
shipping materials.
3.
To remove cardboard bottom, first take 4 cardboard corners
from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of
another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them
lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range
when it is laid on its back.
4.
Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay
it on its back on the cardboard corners.
5.
Remove cardboard bottom.
The leveling legs can be adjusted while the range is on its
back. See the “Adjust Leveling Legs” section.
NOTE:
To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard on the floor in front of range to
protect the flooring. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up
onto the cardboard or hardboard.
