Sears 36511, 36519 Never reuse an old connector when installing a new range, To Check for Leaks

Do not operate the burners of this range A when using LP. (bottled) gas before converting the pressure regulator, burner

orifices, and oven pilot adjustment screw, If applicable, for L.P. gas usage. HIg h flames and toxic fumes could cause serious Injury.

Know where your main gas shut off valve is.

Shut off gas supply before removing an old range. Leave it off until hookup of new range is finished,

Never reuse an old connector when installing a new range.

See figures on this page for rigid and flexible pipe hookups.

We recommend that you use 1/2" gas supply line for both L.P. and natural gas,

Use a pipe wrench to make connections. Hold the pressure regulator in place while installing the adjacent pipe. Do not put any strain on the manifold regulator assembly.

To prevent gas leaks, put a pipe joint compound that is resistant to the action of L.P. gas, on all male (outside) threads except the ground joint union (see figure 10).

When you are finished making connections, be sure that all range knobs are turned to OFF before you open lhe main gas supply valve. Check for leaks as described below.

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS:

Apply a soap solution to all gas connections in the supply line, manifold (under cooktop) and oven. Bubbles will form

where any gas is leaking.

OO NOT use an open flame to look for leaks.

Turn off main gas supply before you try to stop a leak.

Turn main gas supply back on and recheck connections after stopping any leaks.
