the range to the gas supply line should have an LD. of
1/2" and be 5 feet in length fbr ease ofinstallation, in
Canada, flexible connector's must be single wall metal

connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

['2-1CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting

the old range and leave it off until file new hook-up has

been completed. Don't forget to reHght 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

Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If the hm'd piping method is used, you must

carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after fl_e connection is made,

To p,-event gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or

wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, al! male

(external) pipe threads.

A. Install a manual gas line shut-off vatve 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

B_

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

damage,

When installing the range from the fi-ont, remove

the 90 =elbow for easier installation,

C_

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

taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it
fi'om turning,

D.

Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit

connection at the shut-off valve.

E,

When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and mrn on

the main gas supply valve, Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaLs in the
system,

WARNING: DO NOT USE A

FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater daan 1/2 psig to

pressure test the gas supply system of' the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-oft'valve fiom
the gas supply piping v_qaen using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate

the range fiom die gas supply system by closing the
indMdual shut-off \_lve,

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated

_dth certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an exterasion cord. However. if you still elect

to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance

.4..Usage Situations where Appliance Power' Cord will

be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit

Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit., Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNEC'IION

may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter; available

at most hardware stores, 1"he larger slot in the adapter

The power cord ot this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard thr'ee-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard fi'om
this appliance..

rhe customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced wida a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle

A word about GFCI's - GFCI's are not required or'

recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and

automatically switch off' power when a threslmld
leakage level is detected_ These devices must be

manually reset by the consumer: The National Electrical
Code requires the use of' GFCI's in kitchen receptacles

installed to serve countertop sur'faces. Perfm'mance of
the range will not be affected if'operated on a GFCI-
protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of

the GFCI breaker' is possible.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,

and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring_ The customer should have

the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is prope,ty

grounded,

_qren disconnecting dae power cord fi'om the adapter;
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not

done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO

NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground
has again been established
