21INSTALLATIONCheck the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have flnished.Gas ConnectionInstallation of this range must conform with local codes or, inthe absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1-latest edition.In CanadaThe range must be installed in accordance with the currentCGA Standard CAN/CGA-B149 – Installation Codes for GasBurning Appliances and Equipment and/or local codes.In The Commonwealth Of MassachusettsThis product must be installed by a licensed plumber orgas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth ofMassachusetts.A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed inthe gas supply line to this appliance, in an easily accessiblelocation, outside the range. This is for the purpose of easilyturning on or shutting off the gas supply to the appliance.Gas Supply RequirementsProvide Adequate Gas SupplyBefore installation, ensure that the local distributionconditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and theadjustment of the appliance are compatible.The range is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 5’’of water column (1.25 kPa) on natural gas. A conversion kit forLP gas (Propane) is supplied with the range. When convertedto LP gas, a pressure of 10’’ of water column (2.49 kPa) isrequired.Make sure you are supplying your range with the correct typeof gas.If the range is to be used on LP gas, a qualified LP installermust convert it. We recommend that the range be convertedbefore installation. This must be done before the range canbe used on LP gas.For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied tothe regulator must be between 4½’’ and 10’’ of water column(1.12–2.49 kPa).For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10’’ and13’’ of water column (2.49–3.24 kPa).When checking for proper operation of the regulator, theinlet pressure must be at least 1’’ (0.25 kPa) greater than theoperating (manifold) pressure as given above.The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the rangemanifold must remain in the supply line regardless ofwhether natural or LP gas is being used.A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect therange to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of ½’’ and be5 feet in length for ease of installation.Connect the Range to the Gas SupplyShut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting theold range and leave it off until the new hookup has beencompleted. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gasappliances when you turn the gas back on.Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, theuse of a CSA International-certified flexible metal applianceconnector is recommended 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 alignthe pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection ismade.To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrappipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipethreads.A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line inan easily accessed location outside of the range. Makesure everyone operating the range knows where andhow to shut off the gas supply to the range.B. Install a male ½’’ (1.5 cm) flare union adapter to the ½’’(1.5 cm) NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator.Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoiddamage.C. Install male ½’’ (1.5 cm) or ¾’’ (2 cm) flare union adapterto the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,taking care to backup the shut-off valve to keep it fromturning.D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to theadapter on the range. Position the range to permitconnection at the shut-off valve.E. When all connections have been made, make sureall range controls are in the off position and turn onthe main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detectorat all joints and connections to check for leaks in thesystem. Use a product specifically manufactured forleak detection. Leak testing of the appliance shallbe conducted in accordance to the manufacturer’sinstructions.n DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.When using test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa)to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve fromthe gas supply piping. When using test pressures of ½ psig(3.5 kPa) or less to test the gas supply system, simplyisolate the range from the gas supply system by closing theindividual shut-off valve.Flexible ConnectorInstaller: Inform the consumer of the location of the gasshut-off valve.Seal the OpeningsSeal any openings in the wall behind the range and in thefloor under the range when hookups are completed.IMPORTANT: When all connections are completed makesure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the rangeis unobstructed.
