Installation Instructions
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the
range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the
range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that
the following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or
similar material). When the floor covering ends at the
front of the range, the area that the range will rest on
should be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)
by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or
drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 6" and 13" of
water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 11"
and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
must remain in the supply line regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect
the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/
2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In
Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
