Installation instructions
Installing your gas range
IMPORTANT:
Please read the following instructions, as well as the Important Safety Instructions
section at the front of this manual, completely and carefully BEFORE installing
and/or operating the gas range. Improper installation, adjustment, service, or
maintenance can cause personal injury or property damage.
NOTE
To order parts or accessories, contact your
local retailer or refer to the last page.
NOTE
To ensure proper installation, we strongly
recommend that you hire a professional
installer.
Step 1. Unpack the range
Remove all packaging materials. Failure to remove packaging materials could
result in damage to the appliance.
Inventory all loose parts against the Parts supplied components listed on page 11.
Check for shipping damage and/or missing parts. Any damage and/or missing
parts should be reported to your local retailer.
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.
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.
