If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire department.

- Installation and service must be
done by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

Do Not pinch the power
supply cord between the
range and the wall.

Do Not seal the range to
the side cabinets.

If cabinet depth is greater
than 24”, oven frame must
extend beyond cabinet
fronts by l/2” min.

Contact a qualified
floor covering
installer to check
that the floor
covering can
withstand at least
9O’F above room
temperature.

Use an insulated
pad or l/4” plywood
under range if
installing range over
carpeting.

Electrical Shock Hazard

It is the customer’s responsibility to contact a
qualified electrical installer and to make sure
that the electrical installation is adequate and
make sure the electrical installation follows
the National Electrical Code, ANSUNFPA 70 ­latest edition*, and all local codes and
ordinances.

Take special care when cutting holes in wall or
floor. Electrical wires may be behind the wall
or floor covering and cause electrical shock if
you touch them.

Locate any electrical circuits that could be
affected by the installation of this product and
disconnect power circuit.

Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.

Fire Hazard

Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion or
ventilation air.

Failure to follow this instruction could result in
a fire.

Injury Hazard

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire, avoid
installing cabinet storage above the cooking
surface. If cabinets are already installed,
reduce the hazard of reaching over a heated
cooking surface by installing a range hood.
The range hood should extend a minimum of
5 inches out from the bottom front of the
cabinets.

Reaching over a heated cooking surface could
result in a serious burn or other injury.

Anti-tip bracket

-

The floor-mou& anti-tip bracket MUST be installed. To
install the anti-tip bracket supplied, see Pages 3-4 and the
anti-tip bracket templatelinstruction sheet.

Fire Hazard

Range must be connected to a regulated gas
supply.
Gas supply must NOT exceed 1 Cinch water

column pressure. This must be checked by a
qualified technician before installing the
range.

Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks
from gas connections.

New A.G.A. design-certified flexible gas line
should be used when local codes permit.

Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire or injury.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

This installation must conform with all local
codes and ordinances. In the absence of local
codes, installation must conform with American
National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

2223.1 - latest edition**.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating

plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
assistance when installing the range at higher
elevations, contact your local service company.

Type of gas: This range is design-certified by the
American Gas Association (A.G.A.) for Natural or
L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. (See
“Gas conversions” instructions, Pages 6-7.) The
model/serial rating plate (located on the frame
behind the broiler door) has information on the
type of gas that can be used. If the type of gas
listed does not agree with the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service
technician.

Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4’
rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas,
piping or tubing size can be l/2’ minimum. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in

insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used
in the system.

Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas
must be used.

Flexible metal appliance connection: If local
codes permit, a new A.G.A. design-certified,
l/2’ or 3/4’ I.D., flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended for connecting range
to the gas supply line. A l/2’ male pipe thread is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads. Do Not kink or damage the
flexible metal tubing when moving the range.

rpe fittings to obtain

strains must be removed from the

supply and fuel lines so range will

be level and in line.

manual shutoff valve

Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped
with a 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. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block
access to shutoff valve.

Pressure regulator: The gas pressure regulator
supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for proper operation:

NATURAL GAS:

Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP

L.P. GAS:

Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.

Line pressure testing above l/2 psi gauge
(14” WCP) -The range and its individual
manual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
equal to or greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at l/2 psi gauge
(14” WCPI or lower -The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
