Connect The Range To The Gas Supply - Kenmore 79042603311 Installation Instructions Manual

Where
local codes DO NOT permit connecting
the appliance=grounding conductor to the
neutral (white) wire, or if connecting to 4-wire
electrical system (see Figure 9):
1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from
residence.
2. Remove the grounding strap from the terminal block
and from the appliance frame.
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
A) Connect the white appliance cable wire to the
neutral (white) wire.
B) Connect the 2 black wires together.
C) Connect the 2 red wires together.
D) Connect the green (or bare copper) grounding
wire to the grounding wire of the circuit breaker,
fuse box or junction box.

| 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 as shown in figure 3.
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)
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
for leaks with t_%_1 system
a manometer. If a

check for leaks.
Do not use a flame 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.
Disconnect this range and its individual manual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).
