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 propane 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 shut-off valve. Tighten both
adapters.
3.
Use a 15/16" (2.4 cm) 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 shut-off valve is in the
on position.
2.
Open the manual shut-off 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.
5.
Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice
holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the
notch in the burner base.
