Make Gas Connection
This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To use this
range with Propane gas, see the “Gas Conversions” section
before connecting this range to the gas supply. Gas conversions
from Natural gas to Propane gas or from Propane gas to Natural
gas must be done by a qualied installer.
Typical Flexible Connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Propane gas
to the smaller thread ends of the exible connector adapters.
See B and G in the following illustration.
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and
the other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both
adapters, being certain not to move or turn the gas
pressure regulator.
3. Use a 15/16" (2.4 cm) combination wrench and an adjustable
wrench to attach the exible connector to the adapters.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn when tightening
ttings.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Complete Connection
1. Check that the gas pressure regulator shut-off valve is in
the “on” position.
2. Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear,
a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
4. Remove cooktop burner caps and bases from package
containing parts.
5. Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the
orice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode
with the notch in the burner base.
