of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain
on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch
the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when
replacing the unit into the cut-out opening. Replace
the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical
power and gas to the range.

and the range cooktop may occur.

cooktop. Manipulate with care.
