Connect the Range to Gas
The house piping and connector used to connect the range to the main gas supply must be clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt or liquids (oil or water). Contaminants in the supply lines can work their way into the range manifold and cause failure of gas valves or controls and clog burners or pilot orifices.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions
If the range is to be connected to house piping with flexible or
The appliance connector must be installed by using the proper flare union adapters with the connector. Cutoff valve, appliance connector and adapters are not supplied with the range. (Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we recommend use of A.G.A. certified flexible tubing.) In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
Install a manual shutoff valve in the gas 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.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to gas, check the system for leaks with a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections.
Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas leakage in the range or supply line.
CAUTION: Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Check alignment of valves after connecting the range to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not been moved. A misalignment could cause the valve knob stem to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to the top burner orifice farthest from the manifold inlet and turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least
2 other top 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 inches W.C. When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the W.C. pressure is 4 inches; for LP Gas the W.C. pressure is 10 inches. The serial plate, located under the main top in the burner box area, indicates for which type of gas your range was factory adjusted.
