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 B 
and F 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 combination wrench and pliers to attach the flexible 
connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not 
kinked. 
Complete Connection
1. Locate gas pressure regulator in the back of the range.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
2. Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the 
“ON” position.
IMPORTANT: The factory default setting is the “ON” position. If 
the range does not work, verify that the valve is in the “ON” 
position.
3. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The 
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved 
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a 
leak. Correct any leak found.
5. 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. Place burners, burner caps and grates on the 
cooktop.
