Connect Fuel Supply

5.1
Fuel Supply Connection
This appliance must be installed,
grounded, and serviced by a qualified installer or service
technician.
Do not make connections too tight. The
regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.
This appliance includes a regulator. The gas supply line
requires the following parts which are not supplied with
the appliance:
• Manual shutoff valve
• 1/2" nipples (2)
• 1/2" flare union adapter (2)
• Flexible connector
The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be
1/2"(1.27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
Install the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in
the order shown in Figure 11. All connections should be
tightened with a wrench.

When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow
sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.
Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched between
the wall and the range.

Check For Leaks

Do not use a flame to check for leaks from
gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may
result in a fire or explosion.
After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the
system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not
available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak
detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections
to check for leaks. Leaks will be indicated by bubbles
appearing at the connections or joints.
All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be
installed must be sealed.
1. Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
2. Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff valve
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of the system at test pressures greater than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35.56 cm) water column).
3. Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa
or 14"(35.56 cm) water column).
