Make Gas Connection
This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To use this
range with Propane gas, see the “Gas Conversions” section
before connecting this range to the gas supply. Gas conversions
from Natural gas to Propane gas or from Propane gas to Natural
gas must be done by a qualified installer.
Typical Flexible Connection
1.
Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Propane gas
to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters.
See B and G in the following illustration.
2.
Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and
the other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both
adapters, being certain not to move or turn the gas
pressure regulator.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Level Range
1.
Place level on the oven bottom, as indicated in one of
the two figures below, depending on the size of the level.
Check with the level side to side and front to back.
2.
If range is not level, use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling
legs up or down until the range is level.
NOTE:
Range must be level for satisfactory baking
performance and best cleaning results using AquaLift
®
Self-
Clean Technology.
3.
Use a 15/16" (2.4 cm) combination wrench and an adjustable
wrench to attach the flexible connector to the adapters.
IMPORTANT:
All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn when tightening
fittings.
Complete Connection
1.
Check that the gas pressure regulator shut-off valve is in
the “on” position.
2.
Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear,
a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
