GAS CONNECTION
All gas connections must comply with national
and local codes. The gas supply line (service)
must be the same size or greater than the inlet
line of the appliance. This range uses a 1/2" NPT
inlet (see drawing below for details of gas
connection). On all pipe joints use appropriate
sealant resistant to gas.
This range can be used with Natural or
LP/Propane gas. The range is shipped from the
factory for use with natural gas.
For LP/propane household installation, the
appliance must be converted by the dealer, by a
factory‐trained professional or by a qualified
licensed plumber or gas service company.
Gas conversion is important for safe and effective
use of the appliance. It is the responsibility of the
dealer and the owner of the range to perform the
appropriate gas conversion following the
directions of the manufacturer.
THE GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE IS DESCRIBED
IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE PACKAGE
CONTAINING THE CONVERSION NOZZLES
SHIPPED WITH EVERY RANGE.
Please provide the service person with this
manual before work is started on the range.
WARNING!

FOR LEAKS!
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Before placing the oven into operation, always
check for leaks with soapy water solution or
other acceptable method.
MANUAL SHUT‐OFF VALVE
THIS VALVE IS NOT SHIPPED WITH THE APPLIANC
AND MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE INSTALLER.
The manual shut‐off valve must be installed in
the gas service line between the gas hook‐up on

valve must be installed in the gas supply line to
this appliance.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS
In case of installation with flexible couplings
and/or quick‐disconnect fittings, the installer
must use a heavy‐duty, AGA design‐certified
commercial flexible connector of at least 1/2"
(1.3 cm) ID NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in
compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69
standards.
In Massachusetts: The unit must be installed
with a 36" (3‐foot) long flexible gas connector.

for gas appliances and CAN 1‐6.9 M79 quick
disconnect device for use with gas fuel.
PRESSURE TEST‐POINT STOPPER VALVE
To avoid gas leaks, the pressure test‐point
stopper valve and gasket supplied with the range
