30" (76.2 cm) Freestanding Gas Range
PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS
MGS8880D MGS8800F
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply line:
■ Provide a gas supply line of
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient
gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm)
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials
used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be
used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122
to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas
supply line.
1
■ A
/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the
female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the
range.
■ Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This
valve should be located in the same room but external to the range
opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas 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" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Type of Gas
Natural gas:
■ This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located behind the
control panel has information on the types of gas that can be used. If
the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check
with the local gas supplier.
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions”
section.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: The range must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1.
CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS
Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm) countertop
depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and 36" (91.4 cm) countertop
height.
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination
above the range, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination
installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop
surface.
Range may be installed next to combustible walls with zero clearance.
NOTE: When installed in a slide-in cutout, the front of oven door may
protrude beyond the base cabinet.

D. For minimum clearance to top of cooktop, see NOTE*.
E. In U.S.A.: 30" (76.2 cm) min. opening width
In Canada: 31" (78.7 cm) min. opening width
F. 3" (7.6 cm) min. clearance from both sides of range to side wall or
other combustible material.
G. The shaded area is recommended for installation of rigid gas pipe and
grounded outlet.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended
that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is
adequate.
■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range be
provided.
■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but
proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet
provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
