Understanding a French Stove
Before you get into the installation process, you first need to identify your stove type.
In your kitchen, if you can see a flat cooking surface made with cast iron and steel rods that resembles the typical modular stove, then it is a French Top or French Stove.

Install Your French Stove
Working with French Stove comes with just a single obstacle installation. You do not have to worry because we have created a step-by-step guide to help you install the stove within minutes and get the cooking started.
1. Fixing the Appliance
The first step you need to follow is to find the accurate space for your appliance. Most of the kitchen comes with a dedicated space for a stove, which makes the job easier for you. However, if your kitchen does not have a panel for the French Stove, then you can get it designed by a professional. Make sure to check the gas connection before setting up the stove.
2. Gas Connector
Once your stove is fixed in the panel, it is time for you to get the gas connection. Every stove requires a different type of gas connector or tube. You can find this in the manual. When you are installing a new French Stove, it is recommended to replace your old gas connector for safety purposes.
Note: Get yourself a connector that is long enough to easily reach the gas valve.
3. Connect the Gas Connector
Now is the time for you to connect the gas connector with the valve port in your stove.
Follow these easy steps for the connection-
- Step 1: Your gas connector or tube comes with a removable cap. Once you find the cap, remove it.
- Step 2: Locate the gas valve port and fix the gas connector to the gas valve. Wollah! You have successfully connected gas with your stove.
Note: Working with open gas connectors must be done with diligence. Make sure to turn off the main gas valve to stop any gas flow during the process of installation.
4. Gas Connector Nuts
Done with the connection? Great! You will be able to notice that your gas connector has nuts on both ends. Screw them tight to prevent leaks and ensure smooth gas flow.
5. Turn on The Gas
Once you are done with tightening the nuts on the gas connector, you have successfully installed your French Stove. Turn on the main gas valve to start the flow, and you are set to cook your favorite dish.

Working around a gas station can be risky, but with proper care, you can get the work done safely. Before you proceed to install your French Stove, ensure due diligence with these points
- Turn off the gas flow while working with open tubes and connectors
