Each range is factory-equipped for the type gas specified on the rating plate. The installation
gas connection is a
3
/4
" (19 mm) 14 FPT ANSI schedule #40 standard pipe. Connect gas
supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions. Codes require that a gas
shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range. Standard ranges are equipped
with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation. Install the gas pressure
regulator.
Before installing, ensure that regulator supplied agrees with rating plate gas supply.
The gas pressure regulator is
NOT
factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is
sealed within a plastic bag attached to the oven rack inside the oven cavity. This
regulator must be field installed by a qualified installer.
Natural gas regulators are preset for 5" W.C. (Water Column) (.99 kPa); propane
gas regulators for 10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa)
1. Locate
3
/
4
" (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of range.
2. Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.
3. Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body
back (Fig. 7).
4. Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 7).
The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow. The pressure regulator
must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator
is installed in any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper
operation.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape.
Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause
regulator to malfunction.
WARNING:
PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE
FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to
remove air.
Before operation, verify thermocouple is securely seated in the safety valve. The
thermocouple should be tightened a

turn past finger tight.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Over-tightening may damage the thermocouple or safety magnet.
