A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER
MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLYCONNECTION.Leak testing of the
appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the
instructions given in Step 6.
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in
the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the
range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if connections were
disturbed during installation. Checkfor leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears,
turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the
supply line gas shut off valve, and retest for leaks.

disconnected from the gassupply piping system duringany
pressure testingofthat system at testpressures in excess of
1/2 Ibs./sq.in.(3.5 kPa)(13.8 in. water column).

The house piping and/or range connector used to connect the range to
the main gas supply must be clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt
and liquids (oil or water). Dirt, etc. in the supply lines can work its way
into the range manifold and in turn cause failure of the gas valves or
controls and clog burners and/or pilot orifices.
Always use a new flexible connector.Do not use exsisting flexible
connector.
