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 14" (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 1 adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both
adapters, being certain not to move or turn the gas
pressure regulator.

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.
