Pull range out from wall. Turn off gas. Unplug power cord. Remove grates, drip pans, and burner components. Depress locking clips at each side of front of stovetop and raise stovetop (support rods will hold it in place). Remove on/off knobs. Remove 2 screws at sides of each valve stem and screws above and under valve cover. Carefully pull cover out and down because igniter circuit wires are attached. Use a box wrench or small adjustable wrench to loosen compression nut at back of valve. Use care because the gas line is aluminum. Remove 1/4 in. hex screw holding valve to frame/gas supply and remove valve. I suggest test fitting the compression nut to the valve before mounting the valve. Also, it may be easier if you remove the gas line from the burner side as well. If all goes well, finger tighten the nuts and secure the new valve to the frame using the new hex screw provided. Finish tightening the nuts with a wrench. Turn gas back on and check for leaks. You can put your finger over the gas riser orifice and turn on the gas valve to assure there is no leak in the aluminum tube fittings. Reassemble by reversing the disassembly steps at the beginning of this description. Plug in electrical cord and test operation of all burners.
