Installing the Rangetop, cont.
Connecting the Gas Supply, cont.
Never install an old connector on a new appliance. For hard piping, carefully align the pipe; the rangetop can-not
be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with Teflon on all male (external) pipe
threads.
1.
Attach the provided gas-pressure regulator to the rangetop pipe nipple inlet. (For tight installations,
the regulator may be installed upstream from the nipple, anywhere between the shut-off valve and the
rangetop. For best performance, minimize gas-pressure loss by attaching the regulator as close as possible to
the gas inlet.
2.
Complete the connection by installing a flexible gas line between the pressure regulator and the shut-off
valve.

NOTE
The gas shut-off valve should be installed on the gas
piping, away from the rangetop, easily accessible for
quick opening/closing.
Checking for Gas Leaks
WARNING
To prevent an explosion/fire hazard possibly leading to personal injury or death, DO NOT use a flame to check for
gas leaks.
When using pressures above 1/2 psig to test the home gas-supply system, disconnect the rangetop and
individual shut-off valve from the supply line. When testing with pressures of 1/2 psig or less, isolate the
rangetop by closing the individual shut-off valve.
1.
When all connections are made, ensure all rangetop controls are OFF, and turn on the main gas- supply
valve.
2.
Use a liquid leak detector at all joints.
3.
Tighten connections as needed to prevent gas leakage in the rangetop or supply line.
