40" DUAL FUEL RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Models with Electric Ovens and Gas Cooktop) block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line. The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by C.S.A. approved flexible metallic union connected piping where local codes permit use. The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal location for the main shutoff valve. Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion. Assemble the flexible conduit from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in this order: 1- manual shutoff valve, 2- flare union adapter, 3- flexible conduit, 4- flare union adapter, 5- pressure regulator. The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be 1/2" or 3/4" solid pipe. The user must know the location of the main shutoff valve and have easy access to it. When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for cleaning or servicing. NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched between the wall and the range. To visually check, remove the range drawer. Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible conduit is used, be certain that it is not kinked. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion. All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be installed must be sealed. Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line. Check alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not been moved. Disconnect the range and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column). LP/Propane Gas Conversion This appliance can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices; they are contained in a special bag along with instructions marked "FOR LP/ PROPANE GAS CONVERSION", located on the back of the range, close to the appliance regulator valve. The conversion must be performed by a qualified installer, LP supplier or service technician in accordance with the installation instructions furnished with this range and all codes and requirements of all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in personal injury and property damage. Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized Sears Service Center, Distributor or Qualified Agency. Moving the Appliance for Servicing and Cleaning Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service drawer and open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit. Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa or 14" water column). Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when replacing the unit into the cutout opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical power and gas to the range. If the pressure regulator is connected to rigid piping, the regulator must be disconnected before moving the appliance. Reassemble in reverse order (see figure 9). 7
