Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different;
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all
pipe thread connections.
2. Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
range.
Typical flexible connection
1. Use a combination wrench and pliers to attach the flexible
connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not
kinked.
Complete Connection
1. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
3. Push back on side support rods and slowly lower the cooktop
until it snaps into place.
4. Place burners, burner caps and grates on the cooktop.
Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Location
1. Check that the anti-tip bracket is installed:
■
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to the floor.
■
Slide the range back so the rear range foot is under the
anti-tip bracket.
Level Range
1. Place rack in oven.
2. Place level on rack and check levelness of range, first side to
side; then front to back.
3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket. Use
³⁄₈
" drive ratchet and
wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until range
is level.
4. Push range back into position.
5. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking performance.
