6.  Turn on water supply.
7.  Check all connections for leaks.
NOTE: No flushing or conditioning of the water filter is required 
prior to use.
Make Gas Connection
1.  Assemble flexible connector from gas supply pipe to 
pressure regulator located in the middle rear of the range.
2.  Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to 
the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters. 
(See B and G in the following illustration.)
3.  Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and 
the other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both 
adapters, being certain not to move or turn the gas 
pressure regulator.
4.  Use a 
15
/
16
" combination wrench and an adjustable wrench 
to attach the flexible gas supply to the adapters. Check that 
connector is not kinked.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do 
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making 
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause 
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn or move when 
tightening fittings.
Complete Connection
1.  Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line. The 
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2.  Test all connections by brushing on an approved 
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, 
a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
3.  Remove cooktop burner caps, burner bases, and grates from 
parts package. Place burner bases on cooktop and burner 
caps on burner bases. Place grates over burners and caps.
4.  Check that the range is plugged into the appropriate 
grounded outlet. (See the “Electrical Requirements” section.)
5.  Turn on power supply. For further information, please refer 
to the user instructions located in the Use and Care Guide.
Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Location
1.  Using a 
5
/
16
" socket or wrench, turn all 4 leveling rods one full 
turn to raise the range and provide enough clearance for the 
rear leveling leg to slide into the anti-tip bracket.
2.  Move range into its final location, making sure rear leveling 
leg slides into anti-tip bracket.
3.  Use a flashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range 
and visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into 
the slot of the anti-tip bracket.
Level Range
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking performance.
1.  Place rack in oven.
2.  Place level on rack and check levelness of the range – 
first side to side, then front to back.
3.  If range is not level, adjust the leveling rods. Turn leveling 
rods located behind the kick plate to level range and to 
raise or lower range to the desired countertop height.
NOTE: All roller feet must be off the floor upon final installation.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure 
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water 
column. 
Examples of a qualified person include: 
licensed heating personnel, 
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
