CHECKING FOR LEAKS!
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be-
fore placing the oven into operation, always check
for leaks with soapy water solution or other accep-

Check for gas leakage with soapy water solution or
other acceptable methods in all gas connections
installed between inlet gas pipe of the appliance,
gas regulator, till to the manual shut-o
ff valve.
All gas connections must comply with national and
local codes. The gas supply line (service) must
be the same size or greater than the inlet line of
the appliance. This rangetop uses a 1/2” NPT inlet
(see drawing below for details of gas connection).
On all pipe joints use appropriate sealant resistant
to gas to joint the adapter to rangetop manifold
use only the blue gasket supplied.
If necessary, the appliance must be converted by
the dealer, by a factory-trained professional or by
a quali
fi ed licensed plumber or gas service com-
pany.
Gas conversion is important for safe and e ff ecti-
ve use of the appliance. It is the responsibility of
the dealer and the owner of the range to perform
the appropriate gas conversion following the di-
rections of the manufacturer.
THE GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE IS
