Connecting the gas supply

Ensure the following requirements are met before you try
Connecting the gas supply
to connect the appliance to the gas supply:
¡ The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas. If you want to use propane gas it must be
converted. A qualified technician or installer must do the
conversion.
¡ Before connecting the appliance, please check whether
the local connection conditions such as gas type and
gas pressure match the appliance settings.
¡ Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual
shutoff valve before disconnecting an old range and
leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed.
Do not forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances
when you turn the gas supply back on.
¡ A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external
to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front,
for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The sup-
ply line must not interfere with the back of the unit.
¡ The range can be installed using a rigid pipe or a CSA
International-certified flexible metal flex gas line.
¡ Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon tape appropriate
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 access panel or
from the back of the range. To reach the access panel, re-
move the warming drawer. → Page 17
