If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result, causing death, personal injury, or property damage.
– Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• DO NOT light a match, candle, or cigarette.
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
– Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service
agency, or gas supplier.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard-piping
method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot 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.
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed
location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
2.
Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) flare union adapter to the 0.5-in (1.3-mm) NPT
internal thread at the regulator inlet. Use a backup wrench on the regulator
fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90 ° elbow for easier
installation.
3.
Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) or 0.75-in (1.9-mm) flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back up the
shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
4.
Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range.
Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5.
When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in
the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve.
Use a liquid leak
detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks to prevent death, personal injury,
explosion, and/or fire hazard.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure-test the gas supply
system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test
the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing the individual shut-off valve.
Do not tighten flare union adapter to the NTP internal thread at the regulator
too hard.
To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound in the vicinity of the joints.
