UTILITY INFORMATION
GAS: Each unit has a 3/4” rear gas connection with a male NPT connector(female when regulator is added). Minimum supply pressure is 7” W.C. for natural gas and 11” W.C. for propane. All units require a regulated gas supply. pressure regulator included. If using a flexible hose gas connection, the I.D. of the hose must not be smaller than the connector on the unit and must comply with ANSI Z21.69, providing an adequate means of restraint to prevent undue strain on the gas connection.

DISCLAIMER
Oversized Cookware Use Policy – “Oversized cookware is considered anything 12” in diameter or larger. Larger vessels may be used to straddle over open top grates (although efficiency may be lost when doing so). It is highly recommended when using oversized cookware that its use be limited to the rear portion of the range. IF oversized cookware is used on the front potion and hangs over onto the front rail, excessive heat may be driven and trapped in the front rail and can cause premature damage to the components housed there. This is easily avoided by never allowing cookware to overlap the front rail of the range. Electrical and other components housed in this area should see years of performance under normal intended use.
