INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have nished.

OR
Connect the range to the gas supply
Shut o the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the
old range and leave it o 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-certied exible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-
piped connection.
The installation shall be made with a connector that complies
with ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16 and using a quick disconnect
device complying with ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9 (Fig. 14.3).
If disconnection of the restraint chain is necessary ensure the
restraint is reconnected when the appliance is returned to its
original installed position.
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, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teon* around, all male (external) pipe
threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-o 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 o the gas supply to the range.
B. Install a male ½’’ are union adapter to the ½’’ NPT
internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator tting to avoid damage. When
installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male ½’’ or ¾’’ are union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-o valve, taking care
to backup the shut-o valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect exible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position the range to permit
connection at the shut-o valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the o 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. Use a product specically manufactured for
leak detection. Leak testing of the appliance shall
be conducted in accordance to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
n
DO NOT use a ame to check for gas leaks.
