Connecting the natural gas system
1. The supply valve should be in
OFF
position.
2. Make sure the burner valve is in
OFF
position.
3. Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for damage.
4. When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten the nut clockwise until it stops.
Use of a wrench could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation.
5. Open the supply valve fully by turning the valve counterclockwise.
6. Before lighting the oven, use a soap and water solution to check all connections for leaks.
7. If a leak is found, turn the supply valve OFF, and do not use the oven until local gas specialist can make repairs.
Disconnecting the natural gas system
1. Turn the oven burner valve OFF and make sure the oven is cool.
2. Turn the natural gas supply valve OFF by turning the valve handle to the OFF position.
3. Detach the hose assembly from the supply valve by pulling back the quick release collar on the quick
connector.
4. Place dust cap for both the natural gas hose and the quick connector whenever the natural gas supply is not
in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the supply valve outlet that is provided with the supply valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of natural gas.
Leak testing
General
Although the gas connections of the appliance are leak tested prior packing and shipment, a complete test must
be performed at the installation site.
Before each use, check all the gas connections for leak testing using the procedure listed below. If the smell of
gas is detected at any time, you should immediately stop using and check the entire system for leaks.
Before testing
Make sure all packing material has been removed from the appliance.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or rag to apply
the solution to the fittings.
To test
1. Turn the burner valve OFF
2. Turn the natural gas valve on by opening the valve to the ON position.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles would appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply OFF and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back ON and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply OFF and contact customer service.
