Installation Instructions
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
[^Connect the Range to the Gas Supply
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave It off 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-certified flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection.
Never use on 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 pipejoint compound on, or wrap pipe
thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in
on easily accessed location outside of the range. Moke
sure everyone operating the range knows where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. 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.
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to backup the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
P
Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
When all connections have been made, make sure all
range controls are in the off 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.
AWARNING
Fire Hazard: Do not use a
flame to check for gas leaks.
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-off 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-off valve.
