Gas Type Verification
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that
the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is

your range and gas type are the same. Refer to the product
rating label which can be located as indicated on page 38.
CAUTION:
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make
certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its
own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the range. The
maximum gas pressure to this appliance

(34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the
