Level Range

1. Place level on the oven bottom, as indicated in one of
the two figures below, depending on the size of the level.
Check with the level side to side and front to back.
2. If range is not level, use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling
legs up or down until the range is level.
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking
performance and best cleaning results using AquaLift
Clean Technology.

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 one 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.
3. Use a 15/16" (2.4 cm) combination wrench and an adjustable
wrench to attach the flexible connector to the adapters.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
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.

For Plastic Hose Installation

IMPORTANT: If you are using a plastic hose, make sure it can
withstand temperatures above 120°C (248°F) and is approved
by local regulations. The hose must be resistant to abrasion and
chemicals. Check the hose expiration date before installation,
it must be replaced before it. The hose must not stay in contact
with the back part of the product and must not be exposed to
sunlight. The maximum length of the hose is 1.25m (4.1ft).
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with propane
gas to the plastic hose adapter following its manufacturer
instructions.
2. Attach the adapter on the pressure regulator, tightening it
and being certain not to move or turn the gas pressure
regulator.
3. Attach a metal clamp to one of the plastic hose edges and
attach this edge to the plastic hose adapter that is just
