Whirlpool FGP300JN0 Manuel D’Utilisation

This installation must conform with all local
codes and ordinances. In the absence of local
codes, installation must conform with American
National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 — latest edition*.

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
assistance when installing the range at higher
elevations, contact your local service company.

Type of gas: This range is design-certified by
CSA International for use with Natural gas or,
after proper conversion, for use with L. P. gas.
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas.
Gas conversion instructions are provided on
pages 7-8.  The model/serial rating plate located
on the frame behind the broiler drawer has
information on the type of gas that can be used.
If the type of gas listed does not agree with the
type of gas available, check with the local gas
supplier.  Conversion must be done by a
qualified service technician.

Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"
rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas,
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used
in the system.
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas
must be used on pipe threads only.

Flexible metal appliance connector: If local codes
permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 1/2"
or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended for connecting range to the gas
supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
connection fitting. Do Not kink or damage the
flexible metal tubing when moving the range. 

Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped
with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should
be located in the same room as the range and
should be in a location that allows ease of
opening and closing. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block
access to shutoff valve.
Pressure regulator: The gas pressure regulator
supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for proper operation:

Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP 
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP

Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP 
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge 
(14" WCP) — The range and its individual
manual shutoff valve must be disconnected 
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge 
(14" WCP) or lower — The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

Rigid pipe connection: Requires a
combination of pipe fittings to obtain 
an in-line connection to the range. All
strains must be removed from the
supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
