Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas
supply line in an easily accessible location.
Know how and where to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
Shut off gas supply before removing an
old range. Leave it off until hookup of
new range is finished.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the
range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.
certified flexible metal appliance
connector.
WARNING:
Never reuse old
flexible connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use new flexible connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
