POSITIONING
A rolling lift jack, air sled, or pallet jack should
be used for positioning the unit. Do not push
against the edges or sides of the unit in an attempt
to slide it into position. Although all metal parts
are deburred during manufacture, serious injury
could occur if the unit were to move suddenly
while being positioned by hand. We recommend
LEVELING
For optimum performance, (particularly in
baking), the range must be leveled by the leveling
bullet legs installed in the range by the installation
technician by screwing the bullet in or out.
A carpenter-type level should be placed on the
oven rack, and the unit should be leveled side-toside, front-to-back, and diagonally.
you use gloves during installation process. Do
not use the oven door handle or louvered kick
panel to pull the unit. Pushing or pulling the unit
increases the possibility of damage to the legs and
floor.
NOTE: Installing this range on a combustible
surface without legs will void UL/cUL
classification.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas supply line must be the same size or
larger than the gas inlet on the unit. This unit
has a ½” or ¾” NPT inlet accessed from the
back of the unit. We recommend the gas inlet
should be approximately ¼ “ larger than the
NPT inlet. Sealants used on all pipe joints
must be resistant to LP gas. Any openings in
the wall behind the unit, or the floor beneath
must be sealed. ATTENTION
MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS refer to
state code 248CMR! Gas conversions should
only be performed by a licensed plumber or
licensed gas fitter.
1. An installer-provided manual shut-off valve
must be installed in the gas service line ahead
of the appliance. The shut-off valve must be in
a position where it can be accessed quickly in
the event of an emergency.
2. All heavy-duty cooking equipment must have a
pressure regulator on the incoming service line
for safe and efficient operation. Service
pressure may fluctuate due to local demand. An
external regulator is not required on the unit, as
a regulator is built in to each unit at the factory.
Under no condition should the factory-installed
regulator be by-passed.
This unit was constructed for use with either
natural or propane (LP) gas. Verify that the
unit and the incoming gas supply are
compatible by checking the rating plate label,
located on the left side of the unit under the
burner grate. The correct regulator, valves, and
orifices are installed at the factory for
natural/LP gas. See the following section, titled
"GAS CONVERSION," for detailed
conversion instructions, if required.
Incoming line pressure should be checked with
a manometer. The correct operating manifold
pressure for natural gas is 5.0" WC; for
Propane (LP) gas, 10.0" WC. Incoming line
pressure upstream of the regulator should be 1"
WC higher than the correct operating manifold
8
pressure. The regulator used on this unit will
withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 psi,
(12" WC). If the incoming line pressure is
higher than this maximum rating, a step-down
regulator is required upstream of the unit's
factory-installed regulator.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of
the homes’ gas line system at pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig, (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
shut-off valve during any testing of the homes’
gas system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig, (3.5kPa).
3. Rigid connections: Incoming gas is brought
from the inlet pipe at the rear of the unit to the
pressure regulator, then through the upper
manifold for distribution. The only connection
necessary is from the service line, through the
installer-supplied shut-off valve, to this inlet
pipe.
Be sure to double check any installer-supplied
pipes and fittings, and/or blow compressed air
through them to clean out dirt particles,
threading chips, or other foreign matter before
connecting the unit to the service line. Such
particles will clog orifices when gas pressure is
applied. Service to clean such clogs is not
covered by the warranty.
Check all gas connections for leaks using a
soapy solution before lighting any pilots. DO
NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK
FOR LEAKS! Using an open flame to check a
new connection is not only dangerous, but it
will also miss small leaks that a soapy solution
would detect.
4. Flexible connections: If the unit is to be
installed with flexible couplings and/or a
"quick-disconnect," the installer must use a
commercially approved AGA Design Certified
flexible connector of at least 1/2" NPT, in
compliance with ANSI Z21.41.
In Canada, a connector complying with CAN
16.10 - 88, and a quick disconnect device
complying with CAN 16.19M - 79 must be
installed with a strain relief device to guard
against the transmission of strain to the
connector.
5.Air shutter adjustments are the responsibility of
the installer, and are not covered by warranty.
Burners are preset at the factory and may need
fine-tuning by the installer.
GAS CONVERSION
Any field gas conversions will automatically void the manufacturers warranty!! Gas conversions
should only be performed by a licensed professional to assure a complete and safe conversion. Please
contact your distributor for additional information regarding gas conversion.
WARNING: IN ORDER TO AVOID A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH; PRECAUTION MUST BE TAKEN WHEN PERFORMING A CONVERSION BY ENSURING
THAT THE VALUES IN THE GAS PRESSURE CHARTS ARE EMPLOYED WHERE APPLICABLE.
For additional information regarding field conversions, contact your distributor/dealer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
There is no connection necessary beyond
plugging the unit into a polarized, grounded,
120-volt, 60-Hz, 15-amp circuit. This circuit,
however, MUST be grounded and properly
polarized. This unit is not to be used with a
GFI.
The unit is equipped with a NEMA #5-15P
power cord, accessed by removing the rear
panel, and if an extension is required, it must
be at least this gauge.
NOTE: If electrical power is not supplied or is
interrupted, the unit will not be operational.
WARNING ! ! !
This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
If the unit is not grounded or its polarity is reversed, severe shock hazards can exist.
**Removing the third prong will void the manufacturers warranty**
INSTALLERS & END-USERS INITIAL CHECK
All units are adjusted and tested before leaving
the factory. The manufacturer has supplied you
with an installation checklist in order for your
technician to properly install your new unit.
Your unit must be installed to factory
specifications. Failure to perform the installation
checklist and returning it will void the warranty
FINAL PREPARATION FOR USE
New units are wiped clean at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc.,
remaining from the manufacturing process, then
coated with a thin film of mineral oil. Some
stainless steel parts may have a protective plastic
wrapper, which must be peeled off. Prior to use,
coverage agreement. When the range is properly
installed and connected to proper gas and
electrical service, it will operate properly. Any
issues regarding service should be directed to
your distributor/dealer.
the unit should be washed thoroughly with hot,
soapy water to remove these film residues and any
installation dust or debris, then rinsed and wiped
dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are
rarely required.
