*Instructions were determined using Standard American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36" high x 24" deep . Cabinets
over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking surface measure 13 inches deep from backwall. If
nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.

Step 5: Installation - Connect Gas Supply

Important note for LP users: The range is shipped

from the factory for use with natural gas. For use
with propane (LP) gas, your range must first be
converted using the LP conversion kit.

The gas connection is located below the back panel of
the range (See Figure 4, Page 3). It is accessible
through the warming drawer access panel or from the
back of the range. To reach access panel, remove
warming drawer.
Shut off main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up
has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the

pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the
gas back on.

The range can be installed using rigid pipe or a CSA
International-certified flexible metal appliance
connector. If using a flexible connector, always use a
new connector.
Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon* tape appropriate for
use with LP gas and Natural gas around all male pipe
threads to prevent leaks.
If not already present, install gas shut off valve in an
easily accessible location. Make sure all users know
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
range.

Note: The installer should inform the consumer of
the location of the gas shut-off valve.

Flexible Connector Method (see Figure 5)

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

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

3. Connect flexible metal appliance connector.

4. Make sure circuit breaker is off and then plug
range cord in to electrical outlet.

5. Push range back into position insuring that range
leg slides under the anti-tip bracket. The range will
sit 3/4” away from the wall when properly
installed.

Note: Be careful not to crimp flexible connector!

6. Carefully tip range forward to insure that anti-tip
bracket engages and prevents tip-over.

Rigid Pipe Method (see Figure 6)

The configuration of the rigid pipe connection will
vary depending on the location of the gas pipe stub.
Refer to Figure 6 for details.

1. Make sure circuit breaker is off and then plug
range cord in to electrical outlet.

2. Push range back into position insuring that range
leg slides under the anti-tip bracket. The range will
sit 3/4” away from the wall when properly
installed.

3. Carefully tip range forward to insure that anti-tip
bracket engages and prevents tip-over.

4. Connect pipe to range at union. Access the
connection through the access panel behind the
warming drawer.

Note: Be careful not to apply pressure to warming
drawer element during rigid pipe installation.

Test for Gas Leaks

Leak testing is to be conducted by the installer
according to the instructions given in this section.
Turn on Gas. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection
between the shut-off valve and the range. Include gas
fittings and joints in the range if connections may
have been disturbed during installation. Bubbles

appearing around fittings and connections indicate
a leak.

If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off
valve and tighten connections. Retest for leaks by
turning on the supply line gas shut-off valve. When
leak check is complete (no bubbles appear), test is
complete. Wipe off all detection fluid residue. Proceed
to Step 6: Final Steps.

CAUTION

NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL ALL
LEAKS ARE ELIMINATED.

CAUTION

Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
