ENGLISH Connecting the Range to Gas Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector should be used unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. A manual valve shall 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 range. To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint sealant on all external threads. 1 Install a male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning. 2 Install a male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at the inlet of the pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to prevent damage. Check that the gas pressure regulator valve is in the open position.

INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Connecting the Range to Gas
Shut off the range gas supply valve before
removing the old range and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
A manual valve shall 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
range.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint
sealant on all external threads.

NOTE
•
The gas pressure regulator valve is open when
shipped. If the range does not work properly
after installation, make sure the regulator valve
is still open.

the adapter on the range. Position the range to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
