Make Gas Connection
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.
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with propane gas to
the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters
(see B and G in the following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters,
being certain not to move or turn the gas pressure regulator.
3. Use a 15/16" (2.4 cm) combination wrench and an adjustable
wrench to attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check
that connector is not kinked.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas pressure regulator too tight.
Making the connections too tight may crack the regulator and
cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn when
tightening the fittings.

D. Manual shutoff valve
5. On some models: Plug in range to a grounded outlet. See the
appropriate “Electrical Requirements” section.
6. On some models: Slide range into place so that the rear range
foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket.
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.
A. Closed valve
B. Open valve
2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated.
Correct any leak found.
3. Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts package.
Align recess in burner caps with pins in burner base. Burner
caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps
are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light.
Place burner grates over burners and caps.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
