Connect the Gas Supply Line

Integrated to stove
2. Once you have connected the stove to the gas supply line, TURN ON the shutoff valve and test all
connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
3. Check the cooper piping for kinks or other damage so the gas flows freely throw the pipe.
DON'T USE A LIGHTER TO LOOK FOR GAS LEAKS.
DON'T USE PLASTIC HOSES FOR THE CONNECTION TO THE SUPPLY LINE,
EVEN THE FLEXIBLE METAL TUBING, LEAKS MAY OCCUR.
Recommendations

If the installation is not new, clean the pipes to avoid
clogging the burner nozzles.

To facilitate the movement of the appliance, the installer
should make a coil with the flexible copper piping and
install a shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve should
be installed separate from the range and accessible for
whoever is operating the range.
