INSTALLING THE LEGS

Bertazzoni ranges must be used only with the legs properly installed.

Four height adjustable legs are shipped with the range in the polysterene container situated over the appliance.

Before installing the legs, position the appliance near its final location as the legs are not suitable for moving the appliance over long distances.

After unpacking the range, raise it enough to insert the legs in the appropriate receptacles situated on the lower part of the appliance. Lower the range gently to keep any undue strain from legs and mounting hardware. If possible use a pallet or lift jack instead of tilting the unit.

Adjust leg height to the desired level by twisting the inside portion of the leg assembly until the proper height is reached. Check with a level that the cooktop is perfectly level.

INSTALLING THE HOB RAIL AND OVEN

HANDLE

Only model A304GGVXT

The rail and handle are packed with the upstand. The rail is only available on some models.

Assemble the hob rail and oven handle as shown in the pictures

8

INSTALLING THE WORKTOP

FRONTGUARD

Only model A304GGVXE

To increase the clearance between the front edge of the worktop and the burners it is possible to install the worktop frontguard shipped with the appliance.

To install the front guard, hold it with the pointed edges looking up. Align the edges of the frontguard with the appropriate receptacles in the bottom of the worktop and press firmly until the frontguard is securely attached to the worktop.

ATTENTION: once installed the frontguard may only be removed by disassembling the worktop. Attempting to remove the frontguard without disassembling the worktop will result in permanent damage to the worktop.

9

INSTALLING THE BACKGUARD

The backguard must be installed prior to operation of the appliance for appropriate ventilation of the oven compartment.

The supplied backguard is a 2 part assembly. The box also contains a set of metal screws for securing the backguard to the worktop.

Disassemble the backguard and position the front part on the worktop. Align the screw holes with the corresponding holes at the back of the worktop.

If the holes are not aligned, partially loosen the brackets att the back of the worktop as shown below.

Install the front part of the backguard by tightening the 2 central screws from the top and

2 lateral screws from the bottom.

Position the back part of the backguard and secure it to the worktop tightening 4 screws from the bottom.

Connect the back and front part of the upstand. Check for tight assembly.

10

INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP STABILlTY

DEVICE

The anti tip bracket shipped with the range must be properly secured to the rear wall as shown in the pircture below.

The height of the bracket from the floor must be determined after the range legs have been adjusted to the desired height and after the range has been leveled.

Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the anti tip bracket receptacle on the back of the appliance.

Position the two anti tip brackets on the wall at the desired height plus 1/8" (0.32 cm). The brackets must be placed at 2”5/16 (6,0 cm) from the side of the range. The distance between the two bracket is 25”1/4 (64,1 cm).

Secure the brackets to the wall with appropriate hardware.

Slide the range against the wall until the brackets are fully inserted into their receptacles on the back of the range.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL

A properly grounded horizontally mounted electrical receptacle should be installed no higher than 3" (7.6 cm) above the floor, no less than 2” (5 cm) and no more than 8” (20,3 cm) from the right side (facing product).

Check all local code requirements.

GAS

An agency approved, properly sized manual shut off valve should be installed no higher than 3" (7.6 cm) above the floor and no less than 2” (5 cm) and no more than 8” (20.3 cm) from the left side (facing product).

To connect gas between shut off valve and regulator, use agency approved, properly sized flexible or rigid pipe. Check all local code requirements.

11

INSTALLATION ADJACENT TO KITCHEN

CABINETS

This range may be installed directly adjacent to existing countertop high cabinets (36" or 91.5 cm from the floor).

For the best look, the worktop should be level with the cabinet countertop. This can be accomplished by raising the unit using the adjustment spindles on the legs.

ATTENTION: the range CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to kitchen walls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other vertical surfaces above 36" (91.4 cm) high. The minimum side clearance in such cases is 6" (15.2 cm).

Wall cabinets with minimum side clearance must be installed 18" (45.7 cm) above the countertop with countertop height between 35 ½” (90.2 cm) and 37 ¼” (94.6 cm). The maximum depth of wall cabinets above the range shall be 13" (33.0 cm)

EXHAUST HOOD INSTALLATION

This range will best perform when used with PRO line Bertazzoni exhaust hoods. These hoods have been designed to work in conjunction with the Bertazzoni range and have the same finish for a perfect look.

For maximum performance, the height of the bottom of the hood from the worktop should be between 25 1/2" (65 cm) and 31 1/2" (80 cm). This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 61 1/2" (156.2 cm) to 67 1/2" (171.5 cm) above the floor. These measurements provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.

Before installation of the exhaust hood, consult local or regional building and installation codes for additional specific clearance requirements.

Refer to the range hood installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for additional information.

A	30” (76,2 cm)
B	36” (91,5 cm)
C	13” (33,0 cm)
D	18” (45,7 cm)
E	35”1/2(90,2 cm) / 37” ¼ (94,6 cm)

GAS CONNECTION

All gas connections must comply with national and local codes. The gas supply line (service) must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This range uses a 1/2" NPT inlet (see drawing below for details of gas connection). On all pipe joints use appropriate sealant resistant to gas.

This range can be used with Natural or LP/Propane gas. The range is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

For LP/propane household installation, the appliance must be converted by the dealer, by a factory trained professional or by a qualified licensed plumber or gas service company.

Gas conversion is important for safe and effective use of the appliance. It is the responsibility of the dealer and the owner of the range to perform the appropriate gas conversion following the directions of the manufacturer.

THE GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE IS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE PACKAGE CONTAINING THE CONVERSION NOZZLES SHIPPED WITH EVERY RANGE.

Please provide the service person with this manual before work is started on the range.

WARNING!

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME WHEN CHECKING

FOR LEAKS!

Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before placing the oven into operation, always check for leaks with soapy water solution or other acceptable method.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

THIS VALVE IS NOT SHIPPED WITH THE APPLIANC AND MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE INSTALLER.

The manual shut off valve must be installed in the gas service line between the gas hook up on the wall and the appliance inlet, in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

In Massachusetts: A 'T' handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS

In case of installation with flexible couplings and/or quick disconnect fittings, the installer must use a heavy duty, AGA design certified commercial flexible connector of at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) ID NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.

In Massachusetts: The unit must be installed with a 36" (3 foot) long flexible gas connector.

In Canada: use CAN 1 6.10 88 metal connectors for gas appliances and CAN 1 6.9 M79 quick disconnect device for use with gas fuel.

PRESSURE TEST POINT STOPPER VALVE

To avoid gas leaks, the pressure test point stopper valve and gasket supplied with the range must be installed on the gas fitting at the back of the range according to the diagram below.
