Installation Instructions
Save these instructions for future reference.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1''
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as
given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the
range manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being
used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply line should
have an I.D. of 1/2'' and be 5 feet in length for ease
of installation.
Connect the Range to the 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.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If the hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made. To prevent gas leaks,
put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread
tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe
threads.

A Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas
line in an easily accessed location outside of the
range. Make sure that everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
B If the hot plate grids are fitted, remove them.
Remove the securing (3mm hexagonal socket
head) screws holding the rear flue grille and
remove the grille.
Put the flue grille to one side - you will need it latter.

C Remove the 3 screws securing the upper
detachable section of the extractor air box duct
to allow access for the gas line connection.
D Install male ½” flare union adapter to the ½” NPT
internal thread elbow at the inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting
to avoid damage. When installing the range
from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier
installation.
E Install male ½” or ¾” flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to back up the shut-off valve to keep
it from turning.
