CHECKING FOR MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE
To check the manifold gas pressure, remove the burner cap and connect a
manometer (water gauge) or other pressure test device to the burner orifice. Use a
rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately ¼” hold the end of the hose tight
over the orifice. Turn the gas valve on. For a more accurate pressure check, have at
least two (2) other top burners burning. Be sure that the gas supply (inlet) pressure
is at least one inch above the specified manifold pressure. Maximum gas supply
pressure must not exceed 14” inch water column, minimum gas supply pressure
must be 1” inch water column above recommended pressure, 12” for propane gas,
and 5” water column for natural gas. When properly adjusted the manifold water
column pressure is 11” for LP/propane gas or 5” for natural gas.
Note: Once the unit has been converted fill out the included sticker and place it on
the back of the range
Once you have completed the conversion,
check the operations of ignition making sure
each of the 4 burners, pilot flame and oven
burner flame are functioning correctly. Please
refer to pages 30 thrgugh 35 – Operation of
Range.
High Altitude Applications above 2000 feet:
At elevations above 2,000 feet, the range must be derated 4% for each 1,000 foot
above sea level. It is the installer’s responsibility to see that the range’s input rate is
adjusted properly.
