A 1/2" (13 mm) 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.
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 shut-off valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.

C. To 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" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" (2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
14" (35.5 cm) WCP
The range 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14" (35.5 cm)
WCP 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 the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION
Unpack Range
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1.
Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range.
Keep cardboard bottom under range. Do not dispose of
anything until the installation is complete.
2.
Remove oven racks and parts package from oven and
shipping materials.
3.
To remove cardboard bottom, first take four cardboard corners
from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another.
Repeat with the other two corners. Place them lengthwise on
the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid
on its back.
4.
Using two or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently
lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
5.
Remove cardboard bottom.
The leveling legs can be adjusted while the range is on its back.
See the “Adjust Leveling Legs” section.
NOTE:
To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard on the floor in front of range to
protect the flooring. Using two or more people, stand range back
up onto the cardboard or hardboard.
