INSTALLATION CHECKLIST FOR GAS RANGES
1. Determine if a fuel conversion is needed
Your range will require a fuel conversion if you intend to connect to propane.
NOTE: Propane conversions must be completed by a qualified service technician (see the gas conversion section in the installation instructions that came with your range).
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
2. Verify properly tightened fuel connections.
3. Verify the gas regulator is “ON”
1.Locate gas pressure regulator in the back of the range.
