Connect
the
range
to the gas supply
Important:
Remove all packing material and literature
from range before connecting gas and electrical supply.
Note: To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all
external pipe threads.
Do not allow
regulator
to rotate
on
pipe when tightening
fittings.
Connection
to Pressure
Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening
may crack the
regulator
resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

A. Install an external manual gas snut-orr va ve to
gas supply line in an accessible location outside
of the range. Be sure you know where and how to
shut off the gas supply to the range.
B.
Install 1/2" flare union adapter to unit shut-off valve
using NO MORE THAN :[5ft./Ibs.
of torque.
NOTE: Be sure to stabilize the right side of the
unit shut-off valve with adjustable wrench before
tightening
ANY fittings to the unit shut=off valve.
C. Tighten the gas flexible connector and/or
appliance conduit to flare union on the left side
of the unit shut=off valve using NO MORE THAN
15ft./Ibs.
of torque. Be sure to stabilize the 1/2"
flare union adapter with an adjustable wrench
before tightening
the gas flexible connector
and/or
appliance conduit.
D. Install flare union adapter to external shut-off
valve.
E,
Attach the gas flexible connector with the flare
union on shut-off valve.
F.
Make sure both shut-off valves are in the "ON"
position.
G. Form the gas flexible connector as shown on figure
5c. This will prevent the flexible connector from
pinching or blocking the unit when you will push it
back in its final position.
H. Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range
and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water)
at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the
system.
Figure 5c
Note: The purpose of forming the gas flexible
connector is to position it in a way that will not block
the unit or get pinched in it's final position.
If your unit in place is not against
the wall as
you wish, check behind the range and place the
gas flexible
connector
to avoid
the range being
blocked
or the gas flexible
connector
being
pinched,
Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks,
Checking
Manifold
Gas Pressure
Disconnect this range and its individual manual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater
than 14" water column pressure (approximately
1/2"
psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
14" water column pressure (approximately
1/2" psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas
pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or
other pressure device to the top burner right rear
orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of
approximately
1/4" hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Turn burner valve on.
For accurate pressure check have at least two (2)
other top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply
(inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified
range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure
should never be over 14" water column. When
properly adjusted for Natural Gas manifold pressure is
4" (For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure is 10")
