TYPE OF GAS
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with natural gas or,
after proper conversion, for use with Liquid Propane (LP) gas.
Natural Gas
This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. The model/serial/rating
plate located on the back panel of the range has information on the types of
gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas Conversion
The LP conversion kit is sold separately. Conversion must be performed by a
qualified service technician. The qualified agency performing this work
assumes the gas conversion responsibility. No attempt shall be made to
convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial/rating plate
for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. With LP gas, piping
or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
• If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm)
long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector
may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet
(182.9 cm) in length.
• A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female
pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
