and Hookup
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.

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" (34.9
mb) water column.

•
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" flex line to connect between the gas supply
and the appliance gas inlet, located at the lower right
portion of the range. (See Figure 8.) The appliance inlet
pipe connection is 1/2" NPT. Use caution to avoid
crimping the 3/4" flex line when making bends.
Suggested length of flex line is 48", however, please
check local codes for your area's requirements before
installation.
