2. CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the range gas supply valve before
removing the old range and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
NEVER reuse an old connector when installing a new
range.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint
sealant on all external threads.
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
A
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it
from turning.
Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
B
NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the pressure regulator
fitting to prevent damage.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to
C
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
When all connections have been made, be sure
D
all range controls are in the off position and turn
on the main gas supply valve. Gas leaks may
occur in your system and result in a dangerous
situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell
alone.
Check all gas connection joints and fittings for
leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid,
then wipe off.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and
install an UL approved gas detector. Install and
use in accordance with Installation instructions.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS.
WARNING!
Isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psig(3.5kPa).
