Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Location
1.
Check that the anti-tip bracket is installed:
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to the floor.
Slide the range back so the rear range foot is under the anti-
tip bracket.
Level Range
1.
Place rack in oven.
2.
Place level on rack and check levelness of range, first side to
side; then front to back.
3.
If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket. Use
³⁄₈
" drive ratchet and
wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until range
is level.
4.
Push range back into position.
5.
Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.
NOTE:
Range must be level for satisfactory baking performance.
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 F 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 combination wrench and pliers to attach the flexible
connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not
kinked.
Complete Connection
1.
Locate gas pressure regulator in the broiler.
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
