Installation of the range.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

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.

If the range is to be connected to house piping with flexible or semi-rigid metal appliance connector, connector nuts MUST NOT be connected directly to pipe threads.

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 hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. 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.

Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas leakage in the range or supply line.

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.
