Seal the openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and
in the floor under the range after gas supply line is
installed.

Connect the range to the gas
supply
Important:
Remove all packing material and literature
from range before connecting gas and electrical supply.
To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all external
pipe threads.
Your regulator is in location
shown below.
Do not
allow regulator to rotate
on pipe when tightening
fittings.

Connection to Pressure Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. manual shutoff valve (not included)
2. 1/2" nipple (not included)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included)
4. flexible connector (not included)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included)
6. 1/2" nipple (not included)
7. pressure regulator (included)
(Models with Sealed Top Burners)
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in
the same room as the range and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If
a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and
use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints
and connections to check for leaks.
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the range or supply line.

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas.
If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/
Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a
bag containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANE
GAS CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged
with the orifices for surface, oven and broil burners
conversion.
