Connect Gas Supply - Bosch 700 Serie Notice D'installation

connect gas supply

Shut off main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up
has been completed. Don't forget to relight the
pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the
gas back on.
The range can be installed using rigid pipe or a CSA
International-certified flexible metal appliance con-
nector. If using a flexible connector, always use a
new connector.
Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon
ate for use with LP gas and Natural gas around all
male pipe threads to prevent leaks.
The gas connection is located below the back panel
of the range. It is accessible through the drawer ac-
cess panel or from the back of the range. To reach
access panel, remove drawer.
Important note for lP users: The range is shipped
from the factory for use with natural gas. For use
with propane (LP) gas, your range must first be con-
verted using the LP conversion kit.
