2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a ¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
Complete Connection
1. Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the
“on” position.
2. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
4. Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts

positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned,
surface burners will not light. Place burner grates over
burners and caps.
