Make Gas Connection

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14ʺ (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating
personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To use this
range with Propane gas, see the "Gas Conversions" section
before connecting this range to the gas supply. Gas conversions
from Natural gas to Propane gas or from Propane gas to Natural
gas must be done by a qualified installer.
Typical Flexible Connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Propane gas to
the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters.
See B and G in the following illustration.
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters,
being certain not to move or turn the gas pressure regulator.
3. Use a 15/16" (2.4 cm) combination wrench and an adjustable
wrench to attach the flexible connector to the adapters.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause a
gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn when tightening
fittings.

2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated.
