CONVERTING TO PROPANE (LP)
GAS OR CONVERTING BACK
TO NATURAL GAS FROM
PROPANE (LP)
This range leaves the factory set for use with natural
gas. If you want to convert to propane (LP) gas, the
conversion must be performed by a qualified propane
(LP) gas installer.
The conversion orifices
and instructions can
be found on back of
the range.
Keep these
instructions and all
orifices in case you
want to convert back
to natural gas.

WARNING
Fire Hazard: Do not use a flame to
check for gas leaks.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard: Do not exceed
25 ft-lbs of torque when making gas line connections.
Overtightening may damage the pressure regulator
resulting in fire or explosion hazard.
Gas Pressure Regulator
You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied
with this range. For proper operations the inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" of Water Column
Maximum pressure: 13" of Water Column
Propane (LP) Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" of Water Column
Maximum pressure: 13" of Water Column
If you are not sure about the inlet pressure contact
local gas supplier.
NOTE: A gas shutoff valve is shipped with this range
and should be installed at the rear of the range near
the floor with the handle facing downward. This shut-
off valve is to be used in
the event that service is
required. To access the
shut-off valve, remove the
toe-kick panel and reach
under the range. An optional
1/2" elbow is provided for
connection to the range gas
inlet.

GAS SUPPLY (cont.)
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until
the new hook-up has been completed. Don't
forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances
when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the
connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe thread sealant on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A. I nstall a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an
easily accessed location outside of the range. Make
sure everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. I nstall male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of the shut-off valve on
the range. Use a backup wrench on the shut-off
valve to avoid damage.
C. I nstall male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the house shut-off valve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it
from turning.
D. C onnect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the house shut-off valve.
E. W hen all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn
on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak
detector at all gas connections to check for leaks
in the system.
When using pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using pressures
of 1/2 psig or less to pressure test the gas supply
system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given on rating label
of product.
