Gas Connection
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose
of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned
off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance. Use a ¾” (19 mm) flex line (48 Ft max - 1219 mm) to connect
between the gas supply and the appliance gas inlet.
The gas pressure regulator is supplied and already installed with this appliance.The supply piping, except as noted, should
use common National Pipe Thread (N.P.T.).
The appliance gas inlet connection is ½” (12.7 mm) NPT.
For all pipe connections use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gas.
Take care not to apply excessive pressure when tightening the fittings.
IMPORTANT: Never reuse old connectors when installing this range.
To reduce the likelihood of gas leaks, apply teflon tape or a thread compound approved for use with LP or Natural gases to all
threaded connections.
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve
and the cooktop inlet.
Check for leaks!
Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off
valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shutoff valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open
flame.
NEVER TIGHTEN TO MORE THAN 35 ft lbs OF TORQUE.
