1. The pressure regulator has a l/z" female pipe thread.
It is recommended
that a 115" close nipple, a union
and shut-off valve, be assembled into the regulator.
This places the assembly parallel to the front frame
of the range for easy connection
to the gas supply
and access to the shut-off valve. The stack on the
regulator must not be in a vertical position.
2. Be sure to use joint compound
to seal all connec-
tions. Joint compounds used must be resistant to the
action of liquified
petroleum
gases.
3. Be sure the shut-off valve is open between the inlet
nipple and gas valve.
C. Check for gas leaks
When the range is connected,
and all gas valves have
been closed, turn on main supply, but before lighting
the range or putting it to use, test all supply line con-
nections and range itself for leaks. This range has been
factory tested for leaks, but sometimes
connections
work loose in transit. NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH
A LIGHTED MATCH OR OTHER FLAME. Apply a thin
solution of soapy water, if any leaks are present, bub-
bles will form at the point of leakage.
If a leak is
discovered
it must be stopped before the range is put
into operation. After checking for leaks, wipe the soap
solution off of the components.
Joint compounds
used
must be resistant to the action of liquified
petroleum
gases. Any opening in the wall or floor, behind or under
the range must be sealed.

1. Top burners
Whenever a top burner control knob is depressed and
turned to the "LITE"
position, the electrode between
the flash tubes will start sparking and continue as long
as the knob is held in this position. After the burner
lights, move the knob to the "HI" position. At this time
the sparking will stop. There are no standing pilots that
have to be lighted or adjusted.
