NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for

connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.

a Range Placement

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from

reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
located above the range should be avoided. If cabinet

storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a

minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinet.

Figure 7

If range will be installed with a cabinet on both
sides, draw a center line on the floor between the

cabinets (see figure 8). If back of range will not be
flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not

allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw
a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will
be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket
Installation ", page 11).

If range will be installed with a cabinet on one
side only, move the range into final position. Draw a
line on the floor along the side of the range that is not
against the cabinet. If back of range will not be flush
with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow
the range to be positioned against the wall), draw a
line on the floor where the back edge of the range will
be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket

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 series with the gas supply line.
The regulator is located as shown in figure 2 and it is

accessible 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/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 9). 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 side wall
of the right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal
location for the main shutoff valve, if the range is
installed within cabinet storage space

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.

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 isfor 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.
