WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

Safety Instructions

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, storage drawer, or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven

or near the cooktop.

CAUTION:Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range— children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Troubleshooting TipsConsumer Support

Have the installershow you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

■ Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

EAppliances.com

■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

■ Be sure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

■ Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation of the range section.

WARNING: These adjustments

must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

■ Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer

can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off, or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the lower oven drawer or kick panel.

■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

Installation

■ Always use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

■ Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Operating Instructions

Instructions

■ Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

■ When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

■ Do notflame foodson thecooktop.If you do

flame foods underthehood, turn thefanon.

■ Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■ Keep all plastics away from the surface

items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■ Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■ If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

■ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

■ Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

■ When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make

sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on

LOWER OVEN DRAWER

EAppliances.com

■ The purpose of the warm setting of the lower

oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked using the warm setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the lower oven drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your lower oven drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the lower oven drawer

for more than two hours.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the lower oven drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the lower oven drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ Use care when opening the lower oven

drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has five sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. This burner can be turned down to LO for a very lowsimmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time.

The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners arethe primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs. The extra large (left front) burner also has a special POWER BOIL setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

How to Select Flame Size

The dual flame extra large burner (right front) is the maximum output burner. Like the other four burners,it can be turned down from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking applications; however, this burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil.It has a special POWER BOIL™setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

The center oval burner is the largest in size and is for large oval pots/pans, round pots/pans 10 or greater in diameter or to be used with the griddle.

Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Top-of-Range Cookware

EAppliances.com

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an

luminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-

a fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee

nd teapots). Glass conducts heat very

a slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Instructions

Installation

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

NOTE: If Gas/Control Lockout is in use at the time of a power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary when convection baking and for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

Baking results will be better if foods are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

For best results when baking four cake layers at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower pans at the back of the rack and the upper pans at the front of the rack as shown so that one pan is not directly above another leaving approximately 1-1/2 between pans, from the front, back and sides of the walls.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Safety Instructions

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time than with regular heat.

NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions with a pause in between. This is normal.

o help you understand the difference

T between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■ Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven–

Preheating and Pan Placement section.

■ Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks.

■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■ Good results with cookies, biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.

Convection Roast

■ Good for large tender cuts of meat,

uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad once for multi-rack

convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See the Multi-Rack Baking section for more information. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad twice for one rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only one rack in convection bake.

Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for convection roasting.

Touch the number pads to set the desired oven temperature. Remember to adjust baking temperature accordingly. See the Adapting Recipes section.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for

onvection baking.

■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

Touch the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, touch the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

The fan will not start until the preheat temperature is reached.

NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25˚F (14˚C) lower than the set temperature. See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in this section for more information. When convection roasting, oven temperature will not auto convert.

Troubleshooting TipsConsumer Support

When convection baking with only 1 rack, follow the rack positions recommended in the Using the Oven section.

Multi-Rack Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give very good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE

MULTI.

When baking larger foods on 3 racks, place one rack in the 2nd (A) position, one on the 4th (C) position and the third rack in the 6th (E) position.

When baking cookies, place the racks in the 3rd (B), 4th (C) and 5th (D) positions.

Auto Recipe™Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When using CONVECTION BAKE, the oven will automatically convert the oven temperature from regular baking to Convection Bake temperatures.

The display will show the actual converted (reduced) temperature. For example, if you enter a regular recipe temperature of 350˚F (177˚C) and touch the START pad, the display will show CON and the converted temperature of 325˚F (163˚C).

NOTE: This feature only converts cooking temperatures, not cooking times. When convection roasting, the oven temperature will not auto convert.

To turn off this feature:

Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/

1 RACK pad. The display will show CON ON. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad again. The display

will show CON OFF. Touch the START pad.

To turn on this feature, repeat steps 1–3 above but touch the START pad when CON ON is in the display.

■ Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

■ Some package instructions for frozen

casseroles, main dishes or baked goods have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature, for regular baking, on the package.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Instructions

Installation

Troubleshooting Tips

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Your range has three professional-style double grates. These gratesare position-specific. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions. For

onvenience, the undersides of the side grates

c are marked “OUTSIDE.” Makesure the front portion of bothgrates is in front. The center grate canbe interchanged front to back.

Cleaning Grates—Soap and Water

Lift grates out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners. Replace the grates so that straight lines are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.

Cleaning Grates—Self-Clean Oven

To get rid of burned-on food, you may use the self-clean cycle of your range. Remove any burnt-on food particles that you can prior to placing the grates in the oven. Place the gray porcelain-coated racks in positions “R”, “B” and “D”.

NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.

Place one grate each on the oven racks from side to side. Follow the instructions for how to set the upper oven for cleaning.

NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates from the oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The grates may still be hot.

For heavily-soiled grates, you may notice some white ash on the grate. Wipe it off with a damp cloth after the grate cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

Cleaning Grates—Dishwasher

The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any burnt-on food particles that you can prior to placing the grates in the dishwasher. Place them on the lowest rack of the dishwasher and run on a “heavy duty” cycle.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Although the grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures and abrasion by the cookware.

Support Bumpers

If one or more of the circular silicone grate support bumpers in the cooktop are missing or damaged, replacement parts can be obtained by calling 1.800.GE.CARES.

To insert the new bumpers, simply insert the cone shaped end and push down while gently twisting or rocking the bumper.

To avoid damaging the stainless steel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Lift-Off Oven Door

EAppliances.com

Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure

he oven is completely cool.

To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Do not allow excess water to run into

any holes or slots in the door.

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

■ The area outside the gasket can

be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar

r acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,

o sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean

the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5 of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5 and 13 of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10 and 13 of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulatorlocated at theinlet oftherange manifoldmust remainin the supply line regardless of whether naturalor LPgasis being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2 and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

Troubleshooting TipsConsumer Support

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Connect the Range to the Gas Supply

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 flexiblemetal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

Install male 1/2 flare union adapter to the 1/2 NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

Install male 1/2 or 3/4 flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off

valve, taking care to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

CAUTION:DO NOT USE A

FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
