Unpacking and Moving the Range

⚠️ WARNING

• You should use two or more people to move and install the range. (Excessive Weight Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Do not use the door handles to push or pull the range during installation or when moving the range out for cleaning or service. Doing so can result in serious damage to the door of the range.
• To reduce the risk of burns, do not move this appliance while it is hot.

? NOTE

• Remove packing material, tape and any temporary labels from your range before using.
• Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of the range.
• To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your range.
• Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.

Choosing the Proper Location

Dimensions and Clearances

• Provide proper clearance between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
• These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.
• The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see "Gas Pipe and Electrical Outlet Locations" below) may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
• The range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush) at the back wall.

Ventilation

• Do not locate your 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 blocked by carpeting or woodwork.
• This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

Flooring

• Your range, like many other household units, is heavy and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring.
• When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will be installed 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 and servicing, as well as provide proper air flow to the range.
• Make sure the floor covering can resist temperatures of at least 167 °F (75 °C). See the Installation Safety Instructions included in this manual.

Ambient Temperature

• Make sure the wall coverings around your range can resist the heat generated up to 194 °F (90 °C) by the range. See the Installation Safety Instructions included in this manual.

Leveling

Leveling the Range

• Level the range by adjusting the leveling legs with a wrench. Extending the legs slightly may also make it easier to insert the rear leg into the anti-tip bracket.

Diagram shows the underside of the range with leveling legs being adjusted with a wrench.

Checking Adjustments

• Place the level diagonally on the oven rack, and check each direction for level.
  • First check direction 1. Then check direction 2.

Diagram shows a level placed diagonally on an oven rack, with arrows indicating two directions to check.

Connecting Gas

Providing Adequate Gas Supply

• Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural gas or 10" of water column on LP.
• Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is configured.
• This range is convertible for use with natural or LP gas. When using this range with LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range.
• For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water column.
• For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be between 10" and 13" of water column. When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" more 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 which type of 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 5/8" and a maximum length of 5 feet. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.

Connecting the Range to Gas

⚠️ WARNING

• Isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• The appliance and its individual shut-off 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).
• Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed.
• Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector should be used unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
• A manual valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
• Never reuse an old connector when installing a new range.
• To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint sealant on all external threads.

• 1. Install a male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
• 2. Install a male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at the inlet of the pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to prevent damage.
• Check that the gas pressure regulator valve is in the open position.

Diagram shows two views of a valve. 1 indicates the lever's open position. 2 indicates the lever's closed position.

? NOTE

• The gas pressure regulator valve is open when shipped. If the range does not work properly after installation, make sure the regulator valve is still open.

• 3. Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position the range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
• 4. When all connections have been made, be sure all range controls are in the OFF position and the pressure regulator valve is open before turning on the main gas supply valve.
  • Gas leaks may occur in your system and create a hazard. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• 5. Check all gas connection joints and fittings for leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, then wipe off.
  • Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the installation instructions.

⚠️ WARNING

• Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

Flexible Connector Hookup

• Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Adjusting Air Shutters (for LP Conversions)

• The range comes from the factory with the air shutters adjusted for proper air flow for natural gas. If converted to LP, follow the instructions provided in the conversion kit to properly adjust the air shutters. LP conversion must be performed by a qualified technician.

• Do not use an adapter plug. Disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or, in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

? NOTE

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
• GFCI's are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI's in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.
• Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but the occasional resetting of the circuit can become an annoyance.
