PREPARATION
• Remove all tape and packaging.. Lift up the cooktop
(on models with standard twin burners) and remove
any packing material under it_Make sure the standard
twin burners are properly seated and level
• Remove plastic film that covers some chrome parts
(around oven door, side trim),
* Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
• Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
dudng shipping.
STEP 1
Provide
Adequate Gas Supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
4" (102 cm) of water column on natura{ gas or, if
desfgned for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" (25.4 ore)
of water' column_ Make sure you are supplying your
range with the type of gas for which it is designed
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas if you decide to use this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 4" (10.2 cm)
and 13" (33 cm) of water column_ For LP gas, the
pressure supplied must be between t0" (25.4 cm) and
13" (33 cm) of water column_ When checking for proper
operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1" (2.5 cm) greater than the operating (manifold)
pressure as given above_ The pressure regulator located
at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the
supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is
being used_ A flexible metal appliance connector used
to connect the range to the gas supply line should have
an l.D. of 1/2" and be 5 feet (1.5 rn) in length for ease
of installation, in Canada, flexible connectors must be
single walt rnetal connectors no longer than 6 feet
(t.8 m)in tength_
STEP 2
Connect the Range to Gas
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until new hook-up has
been completed Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of an AG A-certified flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require
a hard-piped connection. Never use an old connector
when installinga 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
or wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape around all mate
(external) pipe threads.
