Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnect the range and its individualshut-off valve from
the gas supply pipingsystem during any pressuretesting of
that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water
column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or lessthan 14"of water column pressure
(approximately 1/2" psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressu re,
connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device
to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with
inside diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight
over orifice. Turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other
top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure
is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure.
The gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water
column. When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the manifold
pressure is 4." (For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure
is 10.")

Electric Reauirements: An individual, properly grounded and
polarized branch circuit protected by a 15 amp. circuit breaker
or time delay fuse. See serial plate for proper voltage.
ExtensionCord Precautions:
Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of any extension
cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying
rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to or greater than
the branch circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.
