CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside of
the range. Make sure everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
2. Install male 1.3 cm (1/2 ) flare union adapter
to the 1.3 cm (1/2 ) NPT internal thread elbow
at inlet of regulator. On models equipped with
standard twin burners, install the male pipe
thread end of the 1.3 cm (1/2 ) flare union
adapter to the 1.3 cm (1/2 ) NPT internal thread
at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a back-up
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front,
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
3. Install male 1.3 cm (1/2 ) or 1.9 cm (3/4 )
flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of
the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back up
the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5. When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position and
turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid
leak detector at all joints and connections to
check for leaks in the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the range from
the gas supply system by closing the individual
shut-off valve.
