GAS REQUIREMENTS
You must follow local codes when installing
your built-in oven. Check with your local
utilities for codes and ordinances that apply
in your area. If there are no local codes, you
must follow the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI/Z223.1 – Latest Edition. To get a copy
write to:
American Gas Association
1515 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington (Rosslyn), VA 22209
This standard does not cover the thermal
efficiency of household cooking gas
appliances since it is regulated by the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975,
the National Energy Conservation Policy Act
of 1978 and the National Appliance Energy
Conservation Act of 1987.
If the oven is to be installed in a mobile
home, the installation must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24, CFR, Part 3280 or,
when not applicable, the Standard for
Manufactured Home Installations ANSI/
A225.1 – Latest Edition and Manufactured
Home Installations, Sites and Communities

Installation Instructions
PREPARE THE OPENING
Cabinet space: 24″ min. depth
24″ min. width
Cutout: 22 3/16″ width
38″ height
3/8″ min. on either side
(See Fig. 2)
It’s best to use a template to make a straight cut.
Place the template on a level base line, 22
″
to 28
″
above the floor. This will place the oven cavity 36
″
or 42″above the floor.
The cabinet must have solid sides,
back and bottom. The bottom must
be solid either at floor level or with
the bottom edge of the cutout. Any
openings around the gas or electrical outlets
must be sealed. All cabinet openings must be
sealed at the time of installation to prevent
drafts. Drafts will affect safe use of the oven.
SPECIAL NOTES:
•
Make sure the oven is installed at the specified
height. The unit has been tested and approved for
installation, in accordance with safety standards at
this height.
•
If the floor is to be the solid bottom, two runners,
centered within the cutout opening 11
″
apart may
be used to support the oven. These runners must
support 130 lbs. and must be level and straight.
•
The wall coverings, countertops and cabinets
around the oven should be able to withstand
temperatures of up to 200°F generated by
the oven.
IF YOU ARE REPLACING A UNIT
THAT HAS A CUTOUT HEIGHT
OF MORE THAN 38″:
Shut off the main gas supply before removing
the existing oven. Leave the gas off until the
new hookup is complete.
Measure how much your cutout height
exceeds 38
″
.
Raise your gas inlet pipe if necessary.
Remove the storage drawer.
Extend the leg levelers (using a 3/16
″
hex
socket driver) by the amount measured in
Step B.
Insert the oven into the cutout and adjust the
levelers so that the oven racks are level and
the top of the control panel overlaps the top
of the cutout.

GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
Do not operate
the burners of this oven when using L.P.
(bottled) gas before converting the pressure
regulator and burner orifice for L.P. gas
usage.
See page 2 for all gas requirements.
Shut off the gas supply at the shut-off valve.
Remove the existing oven (if necessary).
Discard any old or used connectors.
WARNING:
Never reuse old
flexible connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and
personal injury. Always use new connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
Be sure no strain has been placed on the
connecting line assembly.
To prevent any leaks, use a pipe joint
compound that resists the action of L.P. gas
on the male outside threads.
Use a 1/2
″
gas inlet pipe.
The hole for the inlet pipe should be 8 1/2
″
min. to 9 5/8″max. right of the centerline
and 23
″
behind the front surface of the
cabinet.
Install a shut-off valve to the pipe.
Remove the storage drawer and the
oven door.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be
used to operate the electrical parts of your oven.
The oven cord has a three-prong plug and
must be used with a properly grounded
three-hole outlet with a standard 120 Volt,
60 cycle AC household current.
Install the electrical outlet below the oven
on the left side, in a location that is easily
reached through the cabinet doors
(see Fig. 6).
If you do not have a three-hole grounded
outlet, have a qualified electrician change
your old one.
A grounding adaptor will be needed to
convert the old one until the outlet can be
replaced. This method is only temporary,
and a qualified electrician should test it to
be sure it meets requirements.
Always unplug the oven cord before making any
electrical repairs to the oven. When unplugging
the oven, always grasp the plug, never the cord.
WARNING:
NEVER USE AN
EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE OVEN
TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
WARNING:
Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove grounding
prong from oven cord. Failure to provide
proper polarization may create a hazardous
condition.

Place the oven in the cutout.
Level the oven:
1. Place a spirit level on one of the oven
racks.
2. If the oven is not level, adjust the leg
levelers.
3. Remove regulator cover at the back of
the storage drawer area by removing
4 screws.
With the oven in place, the pressure
regulator inlet is accessible through the
opening in the main back.
Through this opening connect:
1. The flexible connection and the adaptor
(see Fig. 7).
or
2. The rigid pipe connection and union to the
shutoff valve (see Fig. 8).
Tighten the fitting.
WARNING:
DO NOT FORCE!
FORCING COULD DAMAGE THE FITTING,
TUBING OR CAUSE LEAKING.

FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!
Apply a soap solution to all connections:
supply line, manifold and oven.
Turn on the main gas supply.
Check for any bubbles to form.
Turn off main gas supply.
Stop any leaks found.
Turn main gas supply on to make sure all
leaks were stopped.
Replace the regulator cover using the 4
screws previously removed.
WARNING:
ALL LEAKS MUST BE
STOPPED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT
BURNERS.

PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION
The maximum allowable pressure for the
regulator is 14
″
W.C.
The minimum pressure needed to check the
regulator setting is 11
″
W.C. for L.P. gas and
5
″
W.C. for Natural.
CAUTION:
The range and
its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the
gas supply system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (pound per square inch
gauge).
The range must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig.

CHECK THE BURNER FLAMES
FOR NATURAL GAS
The oven is factory-adjusted for use with Natural
Gas in most areas. But, since the gas in some
areas may vary, you should check all adjustments
described below. If you are to use L.P. Gas, see
L.P. Adjustments at the back of this guide.
NOTE: Bake and broil flame must be checked
with the door closed to properly check flame
characteristics. To properly check the bake burner,
the oven bottom and oven baffle must be removed.
Turn on the bake or broil burner.
As you watch the flame with the oven door
closed, check the following through the oven
door window:
1. Burner flames should not flutter or blow
away from the burner.
2. They should be blue in color with no trace
of yellow.
3. The inner cone of the flame should be
approximately 1/2
″
to 3/4″long.
BURNERS SHOULD BE CHECKED FREQUENTLY.
