INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result, causing death, personal injury, or property damage.
– Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• DO NOT light a match, candle, or cigarette.
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
– Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service
agency, or gas supplier.
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, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with
Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads.
1. Install a manual gas line shut-o 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 o
the gas supply to the range.
2. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) flare union adapter to the 0.5-in (1.3-mm) NPT
internal thread at the regulator inlet. Use a backup 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 0.5-in (1.3-mm) or 0.75-in (1.9-mm) flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-o valve, taking care to back up the
shut-o 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-o valve.
5. When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are
in the o 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.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks to prevent death, personal injury,
explosion, and/or fire hazard.
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-o 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-o valve.
