Anymethod of securing the range is adequate aslong as it conforms to the standards listed above.WARNINGFIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDIf the information in this manual is not followedexactly, a fire or explosion may result causingproperty damage, personal injury or death.Installation must be performed by a qualifiedinstaller.Read these instructions completely and carefully.Installation of this range must conform withlocal codes, or in the absence of local codes,with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54, latest edition. In Canada, installationmust conform with the current Natural GasInstallation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the currentPropane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, andwith local codes where applicable. This rangehas been design-certified by CSA Internationalaccording to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition andCanadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-1.1 latest edition.When installing a gas appliance the use of oldflexible connectors can cause gas leaks andpersonal injury. Always use a NEW flexibleconnector.Leak testing of the appliance shall be conductedaccording to the manufacturer instructions.The range must be electrically grounded inaccordance with local codes or, in the absenceof local codes, in accordance with the NationalElectrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).In Canada, electrical grounding must be inaccordance with the current CSA C22.1 CanadianElectrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. SeeElectrical Connections in this section.Do not install this product with an air curtainhood or other range hood that operates byblowing air down on the cooktop. This airflowmay interfere with operation of the gas burnersresulting in fire or explosion hazard.1 GAS SUPPLYWARNING Fire Hazard: Do not use aflame to check for gas leaks.WARNING Explosion Hazard: Do notexceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making gasline connections. Overtightening may crackthe pressure regulator resulting in fire orexplosion hazard.Gas Pressure RegulatorYou must use the gas pressure regulator suppliedwith this range. For proper operations the inletpressure to the regulator should be as follows:Natural Gas:Minimum pressure: 6” of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 13” of Water ColumnLP Gas:Minimum pressure: 11” of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 13” of Water ColumnIf you are not sure about the inlet pressurecontact local gas supplier.Shut off the main gas supply valve beforedisconnecting the old range and leave it offuntil the new hook-up has been completed.Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gasappliances when you turn the gas back on.Because hard piping restricts movement ofthe range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector isrecommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.If the hard piping method is used, you mustcarefully align the pipe; the range cannot bemoved after the connection is made.To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on,or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, allmale (external) pipe threads.A. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas linein an easily accessed location outside of therange. Make sure everyone operating therange knows where and how to shut off thegas supply to the range.B. Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2”NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use abackup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoiddamage.C. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter tothe NPT internal thread of the manual shut-offvalve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valveto keep it from turning.D. Connect flexible metal appliance connectorto the adapter on the range. Position range topermit connection at the shut-off valve.E. When all connections have been made, makesure all range controls are in the off positionand turn on the main gas supply valve.Use a liquid leak detector at all joints andconnections to check for leaks in the system.When using pressures greater than 1/2 psigto pressure test the gas supply system of theresidence, disconnect the range and individualshut-off valve from the gas supply piping. Whenusing pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressuretest the gas supply system, simply isolate therange from the gas supply system by closing theindividual shut-off valve.When checking for proper operation of theregulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1”greater than the operating (manifold) pressure asgiven on rating label of product.*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSWARNING Shock Hazard: Thisappliance must be properly grounded.
