INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have nished.
Connect the range to the gas supply
Shut o the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the
old range and leave it o until the new hookup 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 a CSA International-certied exible 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, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teon* around, all male (external) pipe
threads.
A. 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.
B. Install a male ½’’ (1.5 cm) are union adapter to the ½’’
(1.5 cm) NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator tting to avoid
damage. When installing the range from the front,
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male ½’’ (1.5 cm) or ¾’’ (2 cm) are union adapter
to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-o valve,
taking care to backup the shut-o valve to keep it from
turning.
D. Connect exible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position the range to permit
connection at the shut-o valve.
E. 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. Use a product specically manufactured for
leak detection. Leak testing of the appliance shall
be conducted in accordance to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
DO NOT use a ame to check for gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa)
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 ½ psig
(3.5 kPa) or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-o valve.
