Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper
conversion, for use with LP gas.
● This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas Conversions” section. The
model/serial rating plate located on the oven frame behind the top right side of the oven door has
information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type
of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate
for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
● Provide a gas supply line of ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer
runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm)
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
● If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) or
³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used
for connecting range to the gas supply line.
● A ¹⁄₂" (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.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to
the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
● 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.
Electrical
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is required. A time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this range be provided.
