bolts to be sure they are
snug. If loose, tighten to
1/2 turn past hand tight
(Figure 8).
CAUTION: Over-tightening these bolts can bow the
control panel.
NOTE: For some cabinet styles, it may be necessary to
reinforce the front of the cabinet by attaching a brace from
front to rear inside the cabinet under the Burner Box.
Join the appliance pressure regulator supplied with this
appliance to the entrance threads of the Gas Manifold.
The appliance regulator is marked with a directional arrow
indicating correct direction of gas flow. Ensure the
appliance regulator is installed with the arrow pointing
toward the gas manifold entrance. Tighten the appliance
regulator to 20 to 30 ft-lbs of torque.
IMPORTANT
Never tighten to more than 35 ft-lbs of torque. Always
use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the
action of LP gas.
Install the appliance in its counter cutout.
Make the gas connection to the inlet of the appliance
pressure regulator with 1/2² male pipe threads.
Install a manual shut-off valve in an accessible location in
the gas line ahead of the appliance pressure regulator
and external to this appliance for the purpose of turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
Make additional pipe connections as necessary ahead of
the shut-off valve to the gas supply source. Assure all
pipe joint connections are gas tight.
Gas Supply Connection
A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE
INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY
CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted by the installer according to instructions below.
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. Check for 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.
FIGURE 8
CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A
FLAME.
WHEN LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF ALL
RESIDUE.
If the alternative piping method shown in figure 9 is
selected for the installation, no ground joint union is
required. (The flexible appliance connector illustrated
provides the union joints necessary for servicing.) When a
dividing wall is present and a flexible connector is used it
is recommended for convenience, in both installation and
service, the flexible connector, itself, pass through the
dividing wall. Any flexible connector used with this
appliance must satisfy all requirements stated in the
text accompanying figure 9.

Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new
A.G.A. - Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may
be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The
connector must have an internal diameter not less than
nominal 1/2² NPT pipe and be no more than 5 feet in
length. A 1/2² NPT x 1/2² flare union adapter is required
at each end of the flexible connector. If a flexible
connector is used assure that both the appliance pressure
regulator and manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to
other permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the
appliance manifold) so as to be physically stationary.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to attach the flexible connector
directly to an external pipe thread. Connection requires
flare union adapters.
