PREPARATION
• Remove all tape and packaging
• 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
during shipping
STEP 1
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4"
(1&2 cm) of water column on natural gas or', if designed
for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" (2&4 cm) 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 10" (25.4 crn) 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 I.D.. of 1/2"
and be 5 feet (1.5 m) in length for ease of installation.
In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet (1.8 m) in length..
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 recornrnended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection Never use 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 or
wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape around all male (external)
pipe threads
