Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"
Page 3
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 connection: 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 female pipe threads. Do Not kink or
damage the flexible metal tubing when moving
the range.
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.
manual shutoff valve
“open” position
to range
gas supply
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:
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
L.P. GAS:
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).

E Check operation
Electronic ignition system
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a
cooktop control knob is turned to the “LIGHT”
position, the system creates a spark to light
the burner. This sparking continues until the
control knob is turned to the desired setting.
When the oven control is set to the desired
setting, a series of sparks lights the oven
burner. The sparking will stop when burner
gas lights. Sparking will again occur to re-light
the burner everytime the burner cycles back
on again.

The small inner cone should have a very distinct
blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not
as distinct as the inner cone. L.P. gas flames
have a slightly yellow tip. If the flame is noisy or
blowing, it is getting too much air. If the flame is
soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air.
