It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead VENT HOOD. Due to the high heat output of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood and ductwork installation to assure it meets local building codes. NOTE: Local building codes vary.
step 1: unpacking, moving and placing the range CAUTION! Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the range to avoid damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and rests on stainless steel legs.
step 2: ventilation system requirements CAUTION! Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to assure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.

step 5: gas connection and hook-up 11 START HERE: NEXT: Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site matches the gas type of the range. As shipped from the factory, units are configured for use with Natural Gas or Propane (LP). Make certain the range matches the type of gas available at this location.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). The Appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
13 testing and adjustments (cont.)
