Place the level diagonally on the oven rack,
and check each direction for level.

If the level doesn't show that the rack is level,
adjust the leveling legs with a wrench.
Connecting Gas
Providing Adequate Gas Supply
• Your range is designed to operate at a pressure
of 5" of water column on natural gas or 10" of
water column on LP.
• Make sure you are supplying your range with the
type of gas for which it is configured.
• This range is convertible for use on natural or LP
gas. When using this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP
installer before attempting to operate the range.
• For proper operation, the pressure of natural
gas supplied to the regulator must be between
5" and 13" of water column.
• For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the
regulator must be between 10" and 13" of water
column. When checking for correct operation of
the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1" more than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given above.
• The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the
range must remain in the supply line regardless
of which type of 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 5/8" and a maximum length of 5
feet. In Canada, flexible connectors must be
single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in
length.

Connecting the Range to Gas
WARNING
• Isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPa).
• Shut off the range gas supply valve before
removing the old range and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed.
• Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of a CSA International-certified
flexible metal appliance connector should be
used unless local codes require a hard-piped
connection.
• A manual valve shall be installed in an accessible
location in the gas piping external to the
appliance for the purpose of turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
• Never reuse an old connector when installing a
new range.
• To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe
joint sealant on all external threads.
1
Install a male 1/2" or 3/4" 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.
2
Install a male 1/2" flare union adapter to the
1/2" NPT internal thread at the inlet of the
pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on
the pressure regulator fitting to prevent
damage.
• Check that the gas pressure regulator valve
is in the open position.
