For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should
be between 4” and 5” of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10” and 12” of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1” more than the operating -manifold- pressure as given above. The pressure
regulator located at the back of the range manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
Regulator is only good for psi (14” w.c.) so test pressure must not exceed
1
/
2
” psi.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old range and leave it off until
the new hook-up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA/ETL certified
flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a
hardpiped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new range. If
the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be
moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound resistant to LP or NG gases (depending
on set up) on all male -external- pipe threads.
1. In an easily accessible location, install a service manual gas shut off valve. Be sure
everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to
the range.
2. When all connections have been made, be sure all range controls are in the off
position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks by using a soap
and water solution. If a gas leak is present, shut off gas immediately, tighten all
connections, and retest for leaks.
3. Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance
must be sealed.
After installation
1. Check ignition of cooktop burners.
2. Check ignition of oven burner.
3. Check for gas leaks at all gas connections (using a gas detector, never a flame).
