Connect The Range To The Gas Supply - Kenmore 79032363410 Installation Instructions Manual

Connect the range to the gas supply
Important: Remove all packing material and literature
from range before connecting gas and electrical supply.
Note: To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all
external pipe threads.
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. _ .........

A. Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas
supply line in an accessible location outside of the
range. Be sure you know where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
B. Install Y2"flare union adapter to unit shut-off valve
using NO MORE THAN 15ft./Ibs. of torque,
NOTE: Be sure to stabilize the right side of the
unit shut-off valve with adjustable wrench before
tightening ANY fittings to the unit shut-off valve.
C. Tighten the gas flexible connector and/or appliance
conduit to flare union on the left side of the unit
shut-off valve using NO MORE THAN 15ft./
Ibs. of torque, Be sure to stabilize the Y2"flare
union adapter with an adjustable wrench before
tightening the gas flexible connector and/or
appliance conduit.
D. Install flare union adapter to external shut-off valve,
E. Attach the gas flexible connector with the flare
union on shut-off valve.
F. Make sure both shut-off valves are in the "ON"
position.
G. Form the gas flexible connector as shown on figure
5c. This will prevent the flexible connector from
pinching or blocking the unit when you will push it
back in its final position.
H. Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range
and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at
all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system.
_Do not use a flameto checkfor gas
leaks.
Figure 5c
Note: The purpose of forming the gas flexible
connector is to position it in a way that will not block
the unit or get pinched in it's final position,
If your unit in place is not against the wall as you
wish, check behind the range and place the gas
flexible connector to avoid the range being blocked
or the gas flexible connector being pinched.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
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 14" water column pressure (approximately 1/2"psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
14" water column pressure (approximately Y2"psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas
pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or
other pressure device to the top burner right rear
orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of
approximately W' hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Turn burner valve on.
For accurate pressure check have at least two (2)
other top burners burning, Be sure the gas supply
(inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified
range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure
should never be over 14" water column. When properly
adjusted for Natural Gas manifold pressure is 4" (For
LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure is 10")
