Use and Care Guide

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

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. DO NOT 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.
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 on the ½’’ NPT
internal thread elbow at the regulator inlet. 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 a male ½’’ or ¾’’ are union adapter on the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-o valve, taking care
to back up the shut-o valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect a 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 OFF position. Turn on the
main gas supply valve and 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 must be
conducted in accordance to the local codes.

Caution: DO NOT use a ame to check for gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5kPa)
to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-o valve from the
gas supply piping.
When using test pressures of ½ psig (3.5kPa) or less to test
the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas
supply system by closing the individual shut-o valve.
