CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the
new hookup has been completed. Don’t forget to
relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you
turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
