INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until
new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget
to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when
you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of an A.G.A.-certified flexible
metal appliance connector is recommended
unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a
new range. If the hard piping method is used,
you must carefully align the pipe; the range
cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound
or wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape around all
male (external) pipe threads.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
4″ of water column on natural gas or, if designed
for LP gas (propane or butane), 10″ of water
column. Make sure you are supplying your range
with the type of gas for which it is designed. This
range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP
installer before attempting to operate the range
on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 4″ and
13″ of water column. For LP gas, the pressure
supplied must be between 10″ and 13″ of water
column. When checking for proper operation of
the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1″ greater than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given above. The pressure regulator located
at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in
the supply line regardless of whether natural or
LP gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance
connector used to connect the range to the gas
supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and be
5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you’ll find the model
and serial numbers on a label on the front frame
of the range, behind the storage drawer or
kick panel.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
• Pencil and ruler
• Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)
• 1
3
⁄8″ open-end or adjustable wrench
• Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/16″ and 1/4″
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED
• Gas line shut-off valve
• Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread
tape with Teflon* that resists action of natural
and LP gases
• Flexible metal appliance connector (1/2″ I.D.)
A 5-foot length is recommended for ease of
installation but other lengths are acceptable.
Never use an old connector when installing a
new range.
• Flare union adapter for connection to gas
supply line (3/4″ or 1/2″ NPT x 1/2″ I.D.)
• Flare union adapter for connection to pressure
regulator on range (1/2″ NPT x 1/2″ I.D.)

PREPARATION
• Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the
cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)
and remove any packing material under it. Make
sure the standard twin burners are properly
seated and level.
• Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
• Check to be sure that no range parts have
come loose during shipping.
