Cabinet Construction

@ _Jl__ To eliminate the risk of cabinet burns

or fire do not have cabinet storage space above the
range. If there is cabinet storage space above range,
reduce risk by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7cm) beyond the

bottom of the cabinet.

@ Countertop Preparation

• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout edge
of your countertop.

• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay
directly on edge of countertop.

• Formed front-edged countertops must have molded
edge shaved flat 3/4" (1.9 cm) from each front corner
of opening (Figure 7).

• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9 cm)
from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened
(Figure 7).

Gas Supply - Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,16cm) 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. To access the regulator,

remove the drawer.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to

the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).

The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25
kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting.

The regulator is set for 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure
must be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column (1.25 kPa)

Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be
set for 10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa) manifold

pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least 11 "(27,9 cm)
water column (2.75 kPa).

The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 11). 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. Open the shutoff

valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to
move through the gas line.

The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the
regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./
C.G.A. - approved flexible metallic union-connected
piping where local codes permit use.

The gas supply piping can be through the back wall
(Figure 8, zone 1) or through the floor (Figure 8,

zone 2):
Zone I - Through the Back Wall (7" X 6") - The best

place to have your gas line in is between 1" (2.5 cm) and
8" (20.3cm) from the floor and within 3" (7.6 cm) from
the center line.

Zone 2 - Through the Floor (~2" X 24"_- The gas line
can also come through the floor within 12" (30.5 cm)
from the center line against the back wall.
