Step 6: Gas Requirements and Hookup
Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site.
Make certain the range matches the type of gas available
at this location. The appliance is shipped from the factory
for use with natural gas. It must be converted for use with
propane.
Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas
supply will require installation of the conversion kit supplied
with the range (service number 553182). A qualified
technician or installer must do the conversion. See LP
Conversion Kit instructions for full installation information.
Obey all instructions in this kit for correct conversion of the
gas regulator and settings for the gas valves.
CAUTION:
When connecting unit to propane gas, make
certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its
own high pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the appliance.
The pressure of the gas supplied to the
appliance regulator must not exceed 14" water
column (34.9 mb).
WARNING:
Do not remove the back cover of the range. It is
for an authorized servicer access only.
WARNING:
If a gas conversion kit is used, the kit shall be
installed by a qualified service agency in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
and all applicable codes and requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. If the information in
the instructions is not followed exactly, a fire,
explosion, or production of carbon monoxide
may result causing property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life. The qualified service agency
is responsible for the proper installation of the kit.
The installation is not proper and complete until
the operation of the converted appliance is
checked as specified in the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the kit.
Hook Up
The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent
