grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on
the power (Figure 6).

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.

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.

the type of installation you have

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

cabinets (seefigure 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 10).

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

r Gas Supply Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit isdesigned 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 infigure 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 isset for 4" (1O,16 cm) water column (1.0

kPa)Natural gasmanifold 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 asthe range and should be in a location
that allows easeof opening and closing. Do not block

accessto the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gasto 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 isan 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.

If range will not be installed against a cabinet,
move range into final position. Draw a line on the floor

along both sides of the range. 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 10).

Do not make the connection too tight.

The regulator isdie cast. Overtightening may crack the

regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

Thisappliance can be used with Natural gasor LP/Propane
gas. It is shipped from the factory for usewith natural gas.

If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/Propane
gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag

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 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.
