INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Connecting the Rangetop to
Gas
This appliance must be installed in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or,
in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1.
Shut off the appliance gas supply valve before
removing the old appliance and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
appliance, a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
A manual valve must be installed in an accessible
location in the gas piping external to the appliance
for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance.
Never reuse an old connector when installing a new
appliance.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint
sealant on all external threads.
1
An inlet pipe is set on the left rear of the
appliance. Connect a gas hose that has a
1
/
2
"
NPT internal thread to the inlet pipe using a
wrench.
2
Apply sealing compound or Teflon tape at the
connection.
3
When all connections have been made, turn all
appliance controls to the
Off
position and turn on
the main gas supply valve. Gas leaks may occur
in your system and create a hazard. Gas leaks
may not be detected by smell alone.
Check all gas connection joints and fittings for
leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.
Wipe off fluid after checking.
Gas suppliers recommend that you purchase
and install a UL/CSA approved gas detector.
Install and use in accordance with the installation
instructions.
WARNING
%
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
