430" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSShutoff Valve -Open positionto applianceto gas supply lineFigure 5Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural andLP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexibleconnectors are used, be certain connectors are notkinked.The supply line must be equipped with an approvedmanual shutoff valve. This valve should be located inthe same room as the range and should be in a locationthat allows ease of opening and closing. Do not blockaccess to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on orshutting off gas to the appliance.Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in thegas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to movethrough the gas line.Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gassupply, check the system for leaks with a manometer.If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supplyand use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at alljoints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will beindicated by bubbles appearing at the connections orjoints.Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipeto the pressure regulator in the following order:1. Manual shut-off valve (not supplied)2. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)4. Flexible connector (not supplied)5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)6. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)7. Pressure regulator (supplied)3. Gas Supply InstallationWhen shipped from the factory, this unit is designedto operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressureregulator is connected to the range manifold and MUSTbe connected in series with the gas supply line. The gasconnector is located as shown on figure 2. It is accessiblefrom front of the range.For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure tothe regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) ofwater column pressure (3.5 kPa).The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1"(.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressuresetting. The regulator is set for 4"(10,16 cm) watercolumn (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inletpressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column(1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulatormust be set for 10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa)manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least11"(27,9 cm) water column (2.75 kPa).The supply line should be equipped with an approvedshutoff valve (see Figure 4 and 5). This valve should belocated in the same room as the range and should bein a location that allows ease of opening and closing.Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is forturning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Open theshutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutesfor gas to move through the gas line.The gas supply between the shutoff valve and theregulator may be connected by rigid piping or by CSA-approved flexible metallic union-connected piping wherelocal codes permit use.The gas supply piping can be through the side wall ofthe right cabinet. The left side cabinet is an ideal locationfor the main shutoff valve, if the range is installed withincabinet storage spaceConnection to Pressure RegulatorThe regulator is already installed on the appliance.Do not make the connection too tight.The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack theregulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire orexplosion.The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be1/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.The user must know the location of the main shutoffvalve and have easy access to it.When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allowsufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout forcleaning or servicing.NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinchedbetween the wall and the range.All connections must be wrench-tightenedFigure 4FlareUnionFlareUnionGAS FLOWManualShutoffValvePressureRegulatorOnOff FlexibleConnector AccessCapNipple NippleSuggested gas connection
