2. Remove Doors: Open hinges fully, lift door to 45°, and carefully pull away from hinges.
3. Remove from Pallet: Remove front and rear bolts/brackets. Remove lower guard if necessary. Use two people for handling.

Installation Steps

Toe Kick Installation

1. Insert foot covers into the toe kick with the long hem edge facing inward.
2. Align toe kick with side panels and clip into place.
3. Secure with two screws.

Levelling the Range

1. Expose front feet by sliding interlocking covers.
2. Turn feet to adjust height.
3. Replace covers, ensuring they lock together.

Prior to Final Positioning

• Ensure doors and toe kick are securely in place.
• Ensure any backguard is fitted.
• Ensure all electrical and gas connections are completed.
• Ensure flooring and adjacent cabinetry are level.

Cooktop Burners

• Test ignition system by lighting each burner individually and in combination.
• Check for a well-defined blue flame without yellow tipping.
• If abnormalities occur, check burner assembly alignment.
• Align burner port ring with locating pins and notch.
• Incorrect installation can lead to dangerous flames.
• No air shutter adjustment is possible on cooktop burners.
• Contact Customer Care or an authorized service center if proper operation cannot be obtained.
• The range must not be used until proper operation is achieved.

Leak Testing

• Ensure all knobs are OFF before connecting to gas supply.
• Turn gas supply on and test all connections for leaks using a soapy water solution.
• Never use a lit match or open flame to check for leaks.
• If a leak is present, tighten the joint, reapply compound if necessary, and retest.

Infrared Broil and Oven Bake Burners

• The infrared broiler burner has no adjustable air shutter.
• Operate the oven broiler for 20-30 minutes with proper ventilation to eliminate initial odors.
• The burner screen should glow red after 5-8 minutes.
• The oven bake burner has an adjustable air shutter.
• Check for proper flame characteristics (blue, stable, no yellow tips, no excessive noise or lifting).
• Adjust air shutter if necessary: open for too yellow a flame (insufficient air), close for noisy or lifting flame (too much air).
• Fisher & Paykel requires all burner adjustments to be made by a qualified technician at installation to avoid voiding the warranty.

Grill and Griddle Burners (Some Models Only)

• Each valve and air shutter is individually tested. Adjustment is usually not required.
• Check for proper flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if necessary.
• If conditions persist, adjust air shutter as described for oven bake burners.
