Installation Instructions
Save these instructions for future reference.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10'' and 13'' of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1''
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the
range manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being
used.
A fl exible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply line should
have an I.D. of 1/2'' and be 5 feet in length for
ease of installation.
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-
certifi ed fl exible 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 Tefl on* around,
all male (external) pipe threads.

A Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside
of the range. Make sure everyone operating
the range knows where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
B If the hotplate grids are fi tted removed them.
Remove the two screws holding the rear fl ue
grille and remove the grille.
Put the fl ue grille to one side - you will need it
latter.

C Install male 1/2'' fl are union adapter to the 1/2''
NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fi tting
to avoid damage. When installing the range
from the front, remove the 90° elbow for
easier installation.
D Install male 1/2'' or 3/4'' fl are 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.
E Connect fl exible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
