MAXIMUM OF 14 INCHES WATER COLUMN (0.5
POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH (P.S.I.) LIQUEFIED
PETROLEUM (L.P.)/PROPANE GAS SUPPLY LINE
MUST HAVE A L.P. GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR.
INLET PRESSURE TO THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE
REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM OF 14 INCHES WATER
COLUMN (0.5 P.S.I.). INLET PRESSURES IN EXCESS
OF 0.5 P.S.I. CAN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE

THE CONNECTOR.
b. The house piping and/or range connector used to
connect the range to the main gas supply must be
clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt and liquids (oil
or water). Dirt, etc. in the supply lines can work its way
into the range manifold and in turn cause failure of the

f. Connect range to gas supply. Use a backup wrench
when twisting on end of manifold. CAUTION: MAKE
SURE THE CONNECTION DOES NOT SHIFT THE
MANIFOLD PIPE OUT OF POSITION. THIS COULD
CAUSE THE VALVE HANDLES AND KNOBS TO
BIND.
g. Turn on main gas valve at meter, and relight pilots at
other gas appliances.
h. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints
and fittings in the gas connection between the supply
line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings
and joints in the range if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a
leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut
off valve, and retest for leaks.
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A
FLAME.
WHEN LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF
ALL RESIDUE.

figure 5). This is to hold the burners in place on the
burner bracket for shipping purposes only.
j. Adjust burner air shutter to the widest opening that will
not cause the flame to lift or blow off the burner when
