INSTALLATION (cont’d):
CAUTION! The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 112 psig
(3.5kPa.).
The Appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 6.0".
DO NOT attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator.
Use 5/8" diameter flex line to connect between the gas supply and the appliance manifold pipe, which exists at the upper
left rear of the appliance. The appliance manifold pipe connection is 1/2". Use caution to avoid crimping the 5/8" flex line.
NOTE: the flex line for the gas supply must be metal and approved by an approved certifying agency (AGA, CGA, CSA,
UL or CUL). NEVER use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material as the heat may cause the hose to melt and
develop leaks, thus causing fires, physical and property damage.
Always use pipe dope or Teflon tape on the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive pressure when tightening
the fittings.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Turn on gas and check supply line connections for leaks using a soap solution. Never use a flame of any sort to test
for leaks.
A manual shut off valve must be installed external to the range in an accessible location from the front for shutting off the gas
supply when required.
The supply line MUST NOT protrude beyond the back of the range.
Ensure that the gas supply is turned OFF at the external shut-off valve before connecting the range.
The gas supply connection must be made by an experienced technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances.
In the absence of local codes or ordinances, please refer to National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54-Current Issue.
The range is supplied with its own pressure regulator
CAUTION! When connecting unit to Propane (LP) gas. Make certain the propane tank is equipped with
i
ts
own high-pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the appliance the pressure & the
gas supplied to the appliance regulator must not, exceed 14"
(
37 mb) water column. A pressure test point is
provided near the regulator behind the kick plate
