Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site. As
shipped from the factory, units are configured for use with
only natural gas or propane (LP) gas. Make certain the
range matches the type of gas available at this location.
These ranges are NOT convertible between different types
of gas.

For installation of the appliance at high altitude, please
consult your local gas company for their recommendation
of the correct orifice sizes and any other necessary
adjustments that will provide proper gas combustion at
specified altitudes.

The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent
technician and in accordance with local codes or
ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation
must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/

A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to
the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for
the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line
must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the
gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before
connecting the appliance.

Use 3/4” (19mm) flex line to connect between the gas
supply and the appliance inlet pipe, which exits at the
rear, lower right of the appliance. The appliance pipe
connection has a 3/4” (19mm) NPT external thread and
a 1/2” (13mm) NPT internal thread (see Figure 13).
Use caution to avoid crimping the 3/4” (19mm) flex line
when making bends. Suggested length of the flex line
is 48” (1219mm); however, check local codes for
requirements before installation.
