Provide
an adequate
Gas Supply
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 pressure regulator is connected
to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series
with the gas supply line.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
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. Examples: If
regulator is set for natural gas 4"(10,16 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the instructions in step 4.
The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3A" I.D. (Interior
Diameter)
_Seal
the
openings
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
floor under the range after gas supply line is installed.
Connect the range to the gas supply
Important:
Remove all packing material and literature
from range before connecting gas and electrical supply.
To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all external
pipe threads.
Your regulator is in location shown below.
Do not allow
regulator
to rotate on
pipe when tightening
fittings.

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 included)
2. 1/2" nipple (not included)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included
4. flexible connector
(not included)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included
6. 1/2" nipple (not included)
7. pressure regulator
(included)
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural gas
to seal all gas connections.
If flexible connectors are
used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
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.
