Installation Instructions
CONNECTING THE RANGE (cont)
A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER
MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the
appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the
instructions given in Step 7.
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in
the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the
range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if connections were
disturbed during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears,
turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the
supply line gas shut off valve, and retest for leaks.
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME. WHEN
LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF ALL RESIDUE.
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST HAVE A NATURAL GAS SERVICE
REGULATOR. INLET PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE
REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM OF 14 INCHES WATER COLUMN (0.5 POUNDS
PER SQUARE INCH (P.S.I.) LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.)/PROPANE GAS
SUPPLY LINE MUST HAVE A L.P. GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR. INLET
PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM
OF 14 INCHES WATER COLUMN (0.5 P.S.I.). INLET PRESSURES IN
EXCESS OF 0.5 P.S.I. CAN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE PRESSURE
REGULATOR AND OTHER GAS COMPONENTS IN THIS APPLIANCE AND
CAN RESULT IN A GAS LEAK.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Follow these procedures to remove appliance for servicing:
1. Slide range forward to disengage range from the anti-tip bracket.
2. Shut off gas supply to appliance.
3. Disconnect electrical supply to appliance, if equipped.
4. Disconnect gas supply tubing to appliance.
5. Reverse procedure to reinstall. If gas line has been disconnected,
check for gas leaks after reconnection.
6. To prevent range from accidentally tipping, range must be secured to the floor by sliding rear leveling leg into the anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: A qualified servicer should disconnect and reconnect the gas supply. The servicer MUST follow installation instructions provided with the gas
appliance connector and the warning label attached to the connector.
HOW TO REMOVE RANGE FOR SERVICING
SERVICE-PARTS INFORMATION
When your range requires service or replacement parts, contact your dealer or authorized service agency. Please give the complete model and serial
number of the range which is located on front frame behind storage drawer.
Your range may not be equipped with some of the features referred to in this manual.
Gas Supply
Installation of this range must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
latest edition. In Canada the range must be installed in accordance
with the current CGA Standard CAN/CGA-B149 - Installation Codes for
Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment and/or local codes.
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when
installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A “T” handle
type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this
appliance. A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed a
length of three (3) feet / 36 inches.
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1” water
column pressure above manifold pressure shown on serial plate.
Check Pressure of House Piping System
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8 in. water column).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa)
(13.8 in. water column).
A GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE SHOULD BE PUT IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION
IN THE SUPPLY LINE AHEAD OF THE RANGE, FOR TURNING ON AND
TURNING OFF GAS SUPPLY. CONNECTOR NUTS MUST NOT BE
CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO PIPE THREADS. THE CONNECTORS MUST BE
INSTALLED WITH ADAPTORS PROVIDED WITH THE CONNECTOR.
The house piping and/or range connector used to connect the range to
the main gas supply must be clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt
and liquids (oil or water). Dirt, etc. in the supply lines can work its way
into the range manifold and in turn cause failure of the gas valves or
controls and clog burners and/or pilot orifices.
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous
situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas
suppliers recommend you purchase and install an UL approved
gas detector. Install and use in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a new CSA certified 1/2” flexible connector no longer than 36” (91.4 cm) with a minimum BTU/HR rating of
60,000 be used. Rigid pipe may also be used.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING
THE APPLIANCE.
