Step 7. Connect the range to 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 flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless
local codes require a hard-piped connection.
