CONNECT RANGE TO GAS SUPPLY
Most localities will require that the stove shutoff valve and gas connections be installed by a certified
technician or plumber. These instructions are for a professional. Gas installation specifications and reg-
ulations may vary so please consult your local codes before proceeding.
a. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line as follows:
· in an easily accessed location outside the range.
· in the gas piping external to the appliance.
b. Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to 1/2” NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulator.
On models equipped with standard twin burners, install the male pipe thread end of the 1/2” flare
union adapter to the 1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator.
Use a wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
c. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” (3/4” refers to 48-inch gas range) flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to secure the shut-off
valve to keep it from turning.
d. The gas supply pressure for checking the regulator setting is 6 in.w.c. (Nature Gas)
and 11 inch.w.c. (LP gas) connect flexible gas line connector to the regulator on the
range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
e. When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the
position and turn on main gas supply valve.
f. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use some soap water (50% water and 50% soap) or a leak detector at
all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system. Do not use a flame to
check for gas leaks.
g. The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig(3.5kPa).

After installation
a. Check ignition of cooktop burners.
b. Check ignition of oven burner.
c. Visually check tubular burner (oven burner) re-ignition to be sure both rows of burner
ports are relighting each time.
d. Check for gas leaks at all gas connections (using a gas detector, never a flame).
e. Check oven bake and convection bake function.
