Make Gas Connection
Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1.
Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all
pipe thread connections.
2.
Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
range.
Typical flexible connection
1.
Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the
smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see B
and G in following illustration).
2.
Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3.
Use a
¹⁵⁄₁₆
" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
Complete Connection
1.
Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the
“on” position.
2.
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
4.
Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts
package. Burner caps should be level when properly
positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned,
surface burners will not light. Place burner grates over
burners and caps.
