* NOTE: 24" (61.0 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is covered
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: 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.
** Front of door and drawer may extend farther forward, depending on styling.
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 on the oven frame behind the
top left side of the oven door 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.
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.
●
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.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range
connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
range will be level and in line.
●
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.
Electrical:
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is required. A timedelay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this range be provided.
