The range can be installed using rigid pipe or a CSAInternationaF
certified flexible metal appliance connector, If using a flexible
connector, always use a new connector,
Apply pipe joint compound orTeflon* tape appropriate for use
with LP gas and natural gas around all male pipe threads to
prevent leaks.
If not already present, install gas shut-off valve in an easily
accesible location. Make sure all users know where and how to
shut off the gas supply to the range.
Note; The installer
should inform the consumer of the
location
of the gas shut-off
valve,

!.
Install male :[/2" flare adaptor at the :[/2" NPT internal
thread of the range inlet. Use a backup wrench on the
elbow fitting to avoid damage.
2.
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter on the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve.
3.
Connect flexible metal appliance connector.
zk Make sure circuit breaker is off and then plug range cord in
to electrical outlet.
5.
Push range back into position insuring that range leg slides
under the anti-tip bracket. The range will sit 3/4" away
from the wall when properly installed. BIote: Be careful not
to crimp flexible connector!
6.
Carefully tip range forward to insure that antFtip bracket
engages and prevents tip-over.
Rigid Pipe Method
(see Figure S_this page}
The configuration of the rigid pipe connection will vary depending
on the location of the gas pipe stub. Refer to Figure 5 for details.
!.
Make sure circuit breaker is off and then plug range cord in
to electrical outlet.
2.
Push range back into position insuring that range leg slides
under the anti-tip bracket. The range will sit 3izV' away
from the wall when properly installed.
3.
Carefully tip range forward to insure that antFtip bracket
engages and prevents tip-over.
zk Connect pipe to range at union. Access the connection
through the access panel behind the warming drawer.
Note; Be carefut not to apply pressure to warming
drawer
element
during rigid pipe installation.
Test for Gas Leaks
Leak testing is to be conducted by the installer according to the
instructions given in this section.
Turn on Gas. Apply a nomcorrosive leak detection fluid to all
joints and fittings in the gas connection between the shut-off valve
and the range.
Include gas fittings and joints in the range if
connections were disturbed during installation. Bubbiesappear
o
ing around fittings
and connections indicate
a Jeak,
If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve and tighten
connections.
Retest for leaks by turning on the supply line gas
shut-off valve and reapplying leak detection fluid. When leak
check is complete (no bubbles appear), test is complete. Wipe
off all detection fluid residue. Proceed to Step 5: Test the Burner
Function.
NEVERCHECKFOR LEAKSWITH A FLAME.
O NOT CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL ALL LEA
ARE ELIMINATED.
