1. Before Installing the Range

Remove shipping material

Remove all tape, shipping and packaging materials and the oven rack packaging.

2. Provide an adequate Gas Supply

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions provided with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/Propane use.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation.

3. Seal the openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range after gas supply line is

installed.

4. Connect the range to the gas

supply

Important: Remove all packing material and literature from range before connecting gas and electrical supply.

To prevent leaks, put pipe

joint sealant on all external

pipe threads. Your regulator is in location

shown below.

Do not

allow regulator to rotate Figure 2 on pipe when tightening

fittings.

Connection to Pressure Regulator The regulator is already installed on the appliance.

Do not make the connection too

tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

Access

Gap

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked. The supply line must be equipped with an approved

manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a

location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for

turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Manual Shutoff Valve - li%

Open position

Figure 4 Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all

joints and connections to check for leaks.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas leakage in the range or supply line.

Disconnect this range from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate

conversion can result in serious personal injury and property damage.
