Make Gas Connection
Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all
pipe thread connections.
2. Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
range.
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP 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 shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a
¹⁵⁄₁₆
" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
Complete Connection
1. Locate gas pressure regulator at rear of storage or warming
drawer compartment.
NOTE: On models with a warming drawer, an access cover
must be removed from the gas pressure regulator.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
2. Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the
“ON” position. The valve is on when the lever is parallel to the
floor.

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 LP, 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.
