Flexible Metal Appliance Connector:
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft 
(122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" or ¾" (1.3 or 1.9 cm) I.D. 
(inside diameter), flexible metal appliance connector may 
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line. 
A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection 
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance 
pressure regulator.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when 
moving the range.
Must include a shutoff valve: 
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff 
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but 
external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It 
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and 
closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for 
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
Gas 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:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet 
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for 
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m). 
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a 
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not 
applicable for Canada). 
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on 
the model/serial/rating plate.
Line Pressure Testing Above ½ psi Gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected 
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of 
that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line Pressure Testing at ½ 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 the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to 
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
