PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cush- ioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows: When the floor cover- ing ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or ser- vicing.

°Pipe joint sealant or pipe thread tape with Teflon* that resists action of natural and LP gases

o Flexible metal appliance connector (1/2" IDI)_ A 5- foot length is recommended for ease of installation but other lengths are acceptable. Never use an old con- nector when installing a new range..

o Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply line (3/4" or 1/2" NPT x 1/2" ID.)

o Flare union adapter for connection to pressure regu- lator on range (1/2" NPT x 1/2" !.D.)
