PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The RGSC-305 is tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas
App[hnces.
The range must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See Step I for
ventilation requirements, page 4). Due to the professiona[ high heat capacity of this unit, particuHar
attention should be paid to the hood and duct work instaHHation to ensure it meets [oca[ building
codes. To eHiminate risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage [ocated
above the surface units should be avoided.
All range models with less than a 12"clearance between combustable material and the back edge of
the range, require the installation of one of the two offered Wall Mount Backguards.

Check local building codes for the proper method of range installation. Local codes vary. Installation,
electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local
codes, the range / cooktop should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1q 988 and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
Be sure that the unit being installed is set up for the kind of gas being used. The gas range is shipped
from the factory set and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific mode[
ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with the gas at the installation site before
proceeding further. Return range to dealer if the unit is not set for site gas supply.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Recommended Installation Instruction (when using BGS-3030 Backguard)
Install components in the following order:
a.Vent Hood b. gackguard System c. Range
1.Locate and [eve[ range according to Range installation instructions.
2. Measure distance from floor to top of isHand trim on range adding ]/8" for backguard cHearance.
3.Transfer this measurement to the waHL This wH[ mark the bottom of your backguard.
4. From this [ine measure 28-1/8" up wall[ to mark top of 30" backguard. This is the minimum height
that the bottom of your vent hood can be instaHHed.
5. FoHHowvent hood manufacturer's instaHHation instructions to install[ vent hood.
6. Follow backguard installation instructions to install backguard.
7. Connect gas and electric connections and slide range into position.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
STEP 1: VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the range / cooktop. The following chart indicates
the minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.

BLOWER 600 CFM (rain.) 600 CFM (rain.)
CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting.
However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall
ducting. Consult local buiMing codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to
ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.
Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned
household air when maximum ventilation is not required.
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a
maximum of 36" above the range cooking surface (See Fig. 3, page 5). If the hood contains any
combustible materials (i.e.a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" above the cooking surface.
Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating
contractor should be consulted.

A regulator is required at the L.R source to provide a maximum of 14" W.C.to the range regulator.
HOOKUP TO GAS SUPPLY
STEP 6: HOOKUP
A manual valve is installed in an accessible location from the front for the purpose of shutting off the
gas supply.The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the unit.Make sure the gas supply
is turned off before connecting the app[hnce.
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved by CSA, AGA, CGA OR UL. Only use a
metal supply hose, as the heat may cause a rubber hose to melt and develop leaks.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances, in the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSi 223.1-1988, latest edition.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from the buiiding's gas supply piping system
by dosing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa.)
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator
should be at [east 7.0"W.C. for natural gas or 12.0"for LP.
When hooking up the gas supply from range rear hard pipe to wail hard pipe, installation length of
flex line between range/wail hard piping must accommodate the range being pulled from wail for
cleaning or servicing purpose. When range is pulled from wail, no strain should occur at range or wail
