Is the gas pressure regulator shut-off valve in the "ON" position?

Gas ranges have a shut-off valve located on the pressure regulator.

• The shut-off valve may have been turned to the "OFF" position during handling, transportation, or installation.
• When the shut-off valve is in the "ON" position, gas can flow to both the cooktop and the oven. When the shut-off valve is on the "OFF" position, gas will flow to the cooktop burners but will not provide a gas supply to the oven.
• This is different from the main gas supply line coming from the home gas supply.
