Whirlpool W10665256D Level Range, Make Gas Connection, Typical Flexible Connection

Level Range

1.Place level on the oven bottom, as indicated in one of the two figures below, depending on the size of the level. Check with the level side to side and front to back.

2.If range is not level, use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level.

Make Gas Connection

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 LP, 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.

This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To use this range with LP gas, see the “Gas Conversions” section before connecting this range to the gas supply. Gas conversions from Natural gas to LP gas or from LP gas to Natural gas must be done by a qualified installer.

Typical Flexible Connection

1.Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible 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 shutoff 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 flexible 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 fittings.
