INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW
REGULATOR TO TURN ON PIPE
WHEN TIGHTENING FITTINGS.
CHECKING MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off
valve from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 14
² of water column
pressure (approximately 1/2 ² psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 14
² of water
column pressure (approximately 1/2 ² psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold
gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge)
or other pressure device to the top burner right
rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside
diameter of approximately 1/4,
² hold tubing
down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least two
(2) other surface burners burning. Be sure the
gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch
above specified range manifold pressure. The
gas supply pressure should never be over 14
²
water column. When properly adjusted for
Natural gas the manifold pressure is 4.
² For LP
gas the manifold pressure is 10.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until
new hook-up 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 an A.G.A.-certified flexible
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 Teflon*
around, all male (external) pipe threads.
a) Install a manual gas shut-off valve to gas supply
line in an easily-accessible location outside of the
range. Be sure you know how and where to shut
off the gas supply to the range.
b) Install 1/2
² flare union adapter to pressure
regulator.
c) Attach appliance conduit to flare union on
regulator.
d) Install flare union adapter to external manual
shut-off valve.
e) Attach appliance conduit to flare union on
shut-off valve.
f) Make sure service shut-off valve on pressure
regulator is in “ON” position.
g) Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the
range and use a liquid leak detector at all joints
and conduits to check for leaks in the system.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
