Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"
water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on
the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above
1
⁄2 psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual manual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than
1
⁄2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at
1
⁄2 psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than
1
⁄2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4-5 ft
(122-152.4 cm) long,
1
⁄2" (1.3 cm) or
3
⁄4" (1.9 cm) I.D.,
flexible metal appliance connector may be used for
connecting range to the gas supply line.
■ A
1
⁄2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to
the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance gas
pressure regulator.
■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving
the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings
to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must
be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed
from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.
■ Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the range. It should be in a location that allows
ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the
range.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
