CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside of
the range. Make sure everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
2. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to
the 1/2" NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulator. On models equipped with
standard twin burners, install the male pipe
thread end of the 1/2" flare union adapter to
the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure
regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front,
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
3. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter
to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-
off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off
valve to keep it from turning.
4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5. When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a
liquid leak detector at all joints and connections
to check for leaks in the system.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test
the gas supply system, simply isolate the range
from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
