Fig. 2.1
All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes. This
gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the
appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to te action of LP/Propane
gas.
The range is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by CSA
International for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion.
The model/serial rating plate, located inside the drawer, has information on the type
of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier. See page from 13 to 16 for L.P. gas
conversion instructions.
1. Manual Shut-off Valve (fig: 2.1):
A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line
external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance (In Massachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board of
State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters). 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
(in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency).
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off
gas to the appliance.
2. Pressure Regulator:
a) All heavy duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure
may fluctuate with local demand.
Before installing the regulator mount the 1/2” NPT (conical) male connector to the
regulator (see picture 2.2). Gasket supplied have to be placed between 1/2” NPT
(conical) connector/extension pipe male pipe fitting (see picture 2.3).
The regulator supplied with this range must be installed before any gas connections
are made.
Use supplied pressure regulator only.
