GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be
resistant to the action of propane gases.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR
LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the range. It is
recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation
system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of
18" (457 mm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the
standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
