Fuel Supply Requirements

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 8.
Figure 8: Regulator location
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" (0.25 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 operation at 2000 ft. above sea level, appliance rating
is reduced by 4 percent for each additional 1000 ft.

Gas Supply Location

The gas supply piping can be through the side walls
of the adjacent cabinets. Cabinets are ideal locations
for the main shutoff valve if the appliance is installed
between cabinets.

Shutoff Valve

The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve as shown in Figure 10. 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.

Figure 10: Shutoff valve
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 user must know the location of the main shutoff
valve and have easy access to it.
4.3
Conversion to Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) Gas
This appliance allows for conversion to Liquefied
Petroleum (L.P.) Gas.
Personal injury or death from electrical
shock may occur if the conversion to L.P. gas is not
made by a qualified installer or electrician. Any additions,
changes or conversions required in order for this
appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a qualified technician.
If L.P. conversion is needed, contact your local L.P.
Gas provider for assistance. The L.P. conversion kit is
provided with this appliance and is located on the lower
REAR (back side) panel of the range. Before installing
the kit be sure to read the L.P. Installation Instructions
and follow them carefully when making the installation.
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).
