Gas Supply Installation

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 serieswith the gas supply line. The regulator is located
asshown on figure 2 and it isaccessible from front of the
range.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) 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/Propanegas, the regulator must be setfor

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 1I). This valve should be located

in the same room asthe range and should be in a location
that allows easeof opening and closing. Do not block

accessto the shutoff valve. The valve isfor turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance. Open the shutoff valve in

the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gasto 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 side wall of the
left cabinet. The left side cabinet is an ideal location for the

main shutoff valve, if the range is installed within cabinet
storage space

containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANEGAS
CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged with

the orifices.

Shutoff Valve =

Open position

Figure 9

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.

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. Leaks will be

indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or

joints.

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 personal injury and property
damage.

Moving the Appliance for

Servicing and Cleaning

Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main
power source, and turn off the manual gasshut-off valve.

Make sure the range iscold. Open the oven door. Lift the
range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening

without creating undue strain on the flexible gasconduit.
Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back

of the range when replacing the unit into the cut-out
opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on

the electrical power and gas to the range.

Range Installation

The back of the range may be installed directly
against the wall.

To reduce possible scorching of vertical walls and to
minimize potential fire hazards under abnormal

surface unit use conditions such as high heat or no
pans and to conform to A.G.A. requirements, a

minimum of 2 I/2" (6.4 cm) spacing should be
provided on both sides of the cooktop.

Excessive Weight Hazard

• Use 2 or more people to move and install
range.

• Failure to follow this instruction can result in
back or other injury.

8.1 Leveling the Range

1. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.

2. Place a level on the rack (see Figure 10). Take 2
readings with the level placed diagonally in one

direction and then the other. Level the range, if
necessary, by adjusting the 4 leveling legs with a

wrench (see Figure 15).

3. Slide the range to its final position and double check
for levelness. If the range is not level, pull unit out

and readjust leveling legs, or make sure floor is
level.

Check the Igniters
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks and range has been connected to
electric power. To check for proper lighting:

a. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the

LITEposition. All electronic surface ignitors will
spark at the same time. However, only the
burner you are turning on will ignite.

b. The surface burner should light once the flow of

gas reached the surface burner. Each burner
should light within four (4) seconds in normal
operation after air has been purged from supply
lines. Visually check that burner has lit.

c. Once the burner lights, the control knob should

be rotated out of the LITEposition.
There are separate ignition devices for each burner.
Try each knob separately until all burner valves have

been checked.
