Whirlpool WEG760H0D, WEG730H0D INSTALLATION

Type of Gas

Natural gas:

This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP 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.

PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

Gas supply line:

●

Provide a gas supply line of ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range 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.

●

A ¹⁄₂" (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.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

This manual covers several models. Your model may appear different from the models depicted. Dimensions given are maximum dimensions across all models.

IMPORTANT: Range must be level after installation. Follow the instructions in the “Level Range” section. Using the cooktop as a reference for leveling the range is not recommended.

*Range can be raised approximately 1" (2.5 cm) by adjusting the leveling legs.

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.

*NOTE: 24" (61.0 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal

*cabinet is shielded by not less than ¹⁄₄" (0.64 cm) flame retardant *millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" *(0.4 mm) stainless steel, 0.024" (0.6 mm) aluminum or 0.020" *(0.5 mm) copper.

*30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking *platform and the bottom of an uncovered wood or metal cabinet.

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.

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.
