Before you begin

Read these instructions completely and carefully. If followed, they will simplify the installation job.

If your range does not have a microwave upper oven, information.

disregard the following microwave

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Failure to follow these instructions could lead

to fire or electrical shock hazard.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful ex-

posure to microwave energy. It is important not to

defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.

Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that

there is no damage to the:

1. Door(bent)

2. Hinges and latches(broken or loosened)

3. Door seals and sealing surfaces.

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

The oven should be checked for microwave leakage

by qualified service personnel after a repair is made. Do not operate the oven if the door glass is broken.

A. Space requirements

b!!“, OPTION

NOTE: Clearance specified to combustible construction (walls and materials) are based on a temperature rise of wood structures resulting from appliance operation. These clearances are suitable for walls of studding, lath and plaster, or other types of combustible materials which have a density of 20 pounds per cubic foot or more. No evaluation of the clearances required has been made for installations adjacent to low density cellulose, fiber board and similar materials which have a density of less than 20 pounds per cubic foot; nor to plastic tiles or sheeting.

ANY OPENINGS IN THE WALL BEHIND THE RANGE OR FLOOR UNDER THE RANGE MUST BE SEALED.

A= Height for range with eye-level oven

plus vent hood: 72” min.

B = Height for range with eye-level oven

alone: 66” min.

C = Width between counters: 3O1/a”

D = Height of countertop: 36” E= Depth: 25” F = Receptacle location: 17” max. from

right cabinet and 20” max. from floor.

G = Wall gas line hole location 8’/2” from

left cabinet and

H = Floor gas line hole location: on floor

I = Both gas line holes should be no more

than 221,$” from right cabinet.

The back and sides of this range may be installed with zero clearance. Vertical walls extending above the cooktop must have a minimum horizontal clearance of 6 inches from the side edges of the cook top.

Overhead cabinets should be a maximum of 13 inches deep.

It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearance specified on the rating plate attached to the appliance.

To prevent discoloration of base cabinet, front of oven frame must extend at least

l/2"

beyond surface of cabinets.

Do not seal range to cabinets. The power cord must run downward, left

or right to the wall receptacle to avoid pinching the cord between rear portion of the range and wall.

25/,6

from floor.

WARNING: Reaching over heated surface burners causes risk of being burned. To reduce risk, installation of cabinet storage above surface units should be avoided.

If cabinets are already provided, reduce hazard by installing a range hood. Hood should project horizontally beyond bottom of cabinets by a minimum of 5 inches.

B. Check microwave for damage

Remove all packing material from the oven cavity. When unpacking the unit, check for damage such as misaligned door, damaged gaskets around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, please do not operate the unit until it has been checked by an authorized Whirlpool trained service technician.

C. Gas supply requirements

Before connecting to the supply system, be sure that the Installation conforms with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1-l 980.

These ranges are designed for easy connection between the supply line and the inlet fitting. However, all strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so the range will be level and in line.

1. This range is manufactured for use with NATURAL GAS. It can be converted for use on LP GAS. The rating plate located under the main top has the information on the type of gas this range can be used with. When in doubt check with your local gas supplier.

2. Provide a gas supply line to the range location. We suggest using a/4” rigid pipe, as smaller size pipe

on long runs may result in the gas supply not being sufficient, then reduce to

l/2”

as shown above.

With liquified petroleum (LP) gases, the size of piping or tubing can be

l/2”

minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and material used on the system. We do not recommend that flexible connectors be used in connecting our appliance to the gas supply, unless American Gas Association approved. Poorly designed connectors can be a source of gas leak. Even when AGA approved flexible connectors are used the consumer is cautioned against kinking

or damaging the connector when moving the range for cleaning or any reason. This could cause a gas leak.

OF RANGE

TO END OF REGULATOR

IN MOBILE HOMES: Any installation in a mobile home must conform with the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, with the local codes.

3. The supply line should be equipped with a shutoff valve. This valve should always 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.

4. The gas pressure regulator on this model can be used on either NATURAL or LP gases. The gas supply pressure for checking the regulator setting is to be at least 6” W.C.P. NATURAL or 11” W.C.P. LP.

Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag) are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings should be reduced at a rate

for each 1,000 feet above sea level.

Inlet Pressure

The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for both operation and checking regulator setting:

NATURAL GAS: Minimum pressure Maximum pressure

6 inches W.C.

14 inches W.C.

LP GAS: Minimum pressure

Maximum pressure

11 inches W.C. 14 inches W.C.

Line Pressure Testing

a. Testing ABOVE l/z Pound Per Square Inch

Gauge) The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of

b. Testing AT 1/2 Pound Per Square Inch (Gauge) OR

LOWER

The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup-

ply piping system by closing its individual manual

ply piping system at test pressure equal to or less

than

D. Electrical requirements -

Conventional Eyelevel

Check the polarity of the receptacle before plugging in. See “Alternate Grounding Method.”

A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 Ampere fused electrical

supply is required (time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. DO NOT use an extension cord.

The wiring diagram is located on the storage drawer.

1. Recommended grounding method

For your personal safety, electrical ground is re-

quired on this appliance.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.

This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be pluged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSllNFPA NO. 70-l 981 l * dinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall

receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
