Gas Supply Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)
Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure
regulator is connected to the range manifold and
MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line.
The regulator is located as shown on figure 2 and it is
accessible from front of the range.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).
The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1"
(.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure
setting. The regulator is set for 4"(10,16 cm) water
column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet
pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column
(1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator
must be set for 10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa)
manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least
11"(27,9 cm) water column (2.75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 15). This valve should be located
in the same room as the range and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Open the shutoff
valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas
to move through the gas line.
The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the
regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./
C.G.A.- approved flexible metallic union-connected
piping where local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the side wall
of the right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal
location for the main shutoff valve, if the range is
installed within cabinet storage space
Connection to Pressure Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. Manual shutoff 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)
The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be
1/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
The user must know the location of the main shutoff
valve and have easy access to it.
When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow
sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.
NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched
between the wall and the range.
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.

Shutoff Valve -
Open position
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in
the same room as the range and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer.
If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply
and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all
joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be
indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or
joints.
