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 C
and G in the 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.
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
3.
Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts
package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner
base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned.
If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners
will not light.
4.
Place burner grates over burners and caps as shown in the
following illustration. When properly installed the grates
should not overlap the console.
Freestanding Ranges
Opening in grate for wok insert is located over left front
burner.
Slide-In Ranges
Large flange with rounded corner must be at the rear corner
of the cooktop.
5.
Plug in range or reconnect power. “Clock-Enter Time” should
appear in the display. For further information, please refer to
the user instructions located in the Use and Care Guide.
Electronic Ignition System

Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place of standing
pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE”
position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to
“LITE.”
