Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas
A
supply line in an easily accessible location.
Know how and where to shut off the gas
B
supply to the range.
C Shut off gas supply before removing an
old range. Leave it off until hookup of
new range is finished.
D Because solid pipe restricts moving the
range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.
certified flexible metal appliance
connector.
WARNING:
flexible connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use new flexible connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
Before making gas connections, make
E
sure that the oven shut-off lever (visible at
the back of range) is in the open position.
