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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Do not exceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making gas line connections.
Overtightening may crack the pressure regulator resulting in a gas leak.
Step 2. Connect the range to gas supply
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave
it off until the new hookup has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on
other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA
International-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless
local codes require a hard-piped connection.
WARNING
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.
