a.
A GAS CUTOFF VALVE SHOULD BE PUT IN AN
ACCESSIBLE LOCATION IN THE SUPPLY LINE
AHEAD OF THE RANGE, FOR TURNING ON AND
TURNING OFF GAS SUPPLY. If range is to be
connected to house piping with flexible or semi-rigid
metal connectors for gas appliances, CONNECTOR
NUTS MUST NOT BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO
PIPE THREADS. THE CONNECTORS MUST BE
INSTALLED WITH ADAPTORS PROVIDED WITH
THE CONNECTOR.
b.
The house piping and/or range connector used to
connect the range to the main gas supply must be
clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt and liquids (oil
or water). Dirt, etc. in the supply lines can work its
way into the range manifold and in turn cause failure
of the gas valves or controls and clog burners and/or
pilot orifices.
CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT OR MOVE RANGE BY
DOOR HANDLES, OR BACKGUARD.
c.
Turn off all pilots and main gas valve of other gas
appliances.
d.
Turn off main gas valve at meter.
e.
Before connecting range, apply pipe thread
compound approved for LPG to all threads.
f.
Use only a flexible connector to connect range to gas
supply at appliance pressure regulator using adaptors
supplied with connector. Regulator supplied with
range has 1/2
²
NPT female connection.
NOTE:
It is recommended to use a CSA certified
flexible connector no longer than 36
²
(91.4 cm) with a
minimum BTU/HR rating of 88,200.
See serial plate for type of gas range has been
manufactured for.
g.
Turn on main gas valve at meter, and relight pilots at
other gas appliances.
h.
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints
and fittings in the gas connection between the supply
line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings
and joints in the range if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles
appearing around fittings and connections will indicate
a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas
shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply
line gas shut off valve, and retest for leaks.
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A
FLAME.
WHEN LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF
ALL RESIDUE.
