3. Use a combination wrench and pliers to attach the flexible
connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not
kinked.
Complete Connection
1. Locate gas pressure regulator in the broiler.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
2. Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the
“ON” position.
3. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
5. Close the broiler door.
6. Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts
package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner
base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned.
If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners
will not light. Place burners, burner caps and grates on the
cooktop.
Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and
Engaged
1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the
broiler, and grasp the lower right or left side of the control
panel as shown.
NOTE: If your countertop is mounted with a backsplash, it
may be necessary to grasp the range higher than is shown in
the illustration.
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
3. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently
back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip
bracket.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting
the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket.
Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from
sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the
bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the
mounting screws.
4. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the floor or wall.
5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm)
from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the
bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an
obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. Changes
to the gas supply must be performed by a qualified service
technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to the
