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 C 
and G 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 
¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to 
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that 
connector is not kinked. 
Complete Connection
1. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The 
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved 
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a 
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
3. Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts 
package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner 
base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. 
If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners 
will not light.

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.
