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 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.
Locate gas pressure regulator at rear of storage or warming
drawer compartment.
NOTE:
On models with a warming drawer, an access cover
must be removed from the gas pressure regulator.
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
2.
Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the
“ON” position. The valve is on when the lever is parallel to the
floor.
3.
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
4.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
5.
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.
6.
Place burner grates over burners and caps as shown in the
following illustration. When properly installed the grates
should not overlap the console.
