catesthe minimum blower capacity recommend.
ed for hood ventilation.
These rangesand must be installed in conjunc-
tion with asuitable overhead vent hood. (SeeStep
1for ventilation requirements.)Due to the profes-
sional high heat capacity of this unit, particular
attention should be paid to the hood and duct
work installation to assureit meets local building
codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reach-
ing overheated surfaceunits, cabinet storage
located above the surface units should be avoided.
.{:;f1U ~[;: Ventilation hoodsand blowers
aredesignedfor USt'with singlewall ducting.
Howeve1;some10ctOrlbuilding codesor inspectors
mayrequiredoubu' wall ducting. Consult local
building codesand/or local agencies,beforestarting,
to assurethat hood and duct installation will meet
local.requirements.
Hood blower speedsshould be variable to reduce
noise and lossof heated or air conditioned house-
hold air when ma>:imum ventilation is not
required. Normally, the maximum blower speed
is only required when using the B-B-Q grill.
For bestsmoke elimination, the lower edge06the
hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a
maximum of 36" abovethe range cooking sur-
face,-SeeFig. 3. If the hood contains any com-
bustible materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must
be a minimum of ;36" above the cooking surface.
Check local building codes for the proper
method of range installation. Local codesvary.
Installation, Electrical connections, and
Grounding must comply with all applicable
codes. In the absenceof local codes,the range I
cooktop should be installed in accordancewith
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-
1988 and National Electrical Code ANSI I NFPA
70-1990.
Be sure that the unit being installed is setup for
the kind of gasbeing used. The gasrange is
shipped from the factory setand adjusted for
Natural Gas. If LP Gas (propane) is to be used,
refer to StepFive for instructions on converting
the range for LP use. (The unit is shipped
equipped for LP conversion: no additional parts
are required, but adjusting is necessary) Only a
qualified service technician or installer should
make this conversion.
Due to a high volt;Lmeof vent.~lationair, a source
of outside replacenrlentair is recommended. This
is particularly imp'Drtant for tightly sealedand
insulated homes. A reputable .heating and venti-
lating contractor s]t1ouldbe consulted.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
This appliance is j~ctory equipped with a power
supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug
(with polarized pa.rallelblades). It must be
plugged into a ma.tinggrounding, type receptacle,
connected to a correctly polarized 120 Volt cir-
cuit. If the circuil: does not havea grounding
type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obliga-
tion of the installt~ror used to have the existing
receptaclechange~ito a properly grounded and
polarized receptac:lein accordance with all applic-
able local codesand ordinances by a qualified
electrician. In th(~absenceof local codesand
ordinances the receptacle replacement shall be in
accordancewith the National Electrical Code.
THE THIRD GROUND PRONG SHOULD
NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE
CUT OR REMOVED (SeeFig. 11).

Back Guard during removal and installation of
the griddle to prevent scratching.
4. FOR GRILL UNIT
(MODEL RG484(:;L, GG, RG364GL)
To remove the grill assembly,begin by lifting off
the front trim adjacent to the greasegutter.
Beneath the trim, you'll find tWo screws,remove
them. Remove the Briquette Rack with briquettes
(if in place). Remove the (2) screwsholding the
grill igniter in place, then without removing the
wires, gently lay the igniter on the side. Use care
around the grill igniter, it is fragile. Remove the
tie wire securing thl~grill burner then remove the
grill burner. If the Back Guard is in place, pro-
tect the Back Guard during removal and installa-
tion of the grillpar'ts to prevent scratching.

5. OVEN
Empty the oven, remove the tWo oven rack side
supports, the four \:;,racketsand screwsholding the
oven bottom down" and then the oven bottom.
Remove the screwsecuringthe ovenburner, than
remove the burner. Replacethe oven burner ori-
fice with the red color coded orifice supplied
(wired to the tubin!~). Tighten until snug.

Converting a range from factory setnatural gasto
L.P.is bestdone prior to pushing the range in
placewhile the back of the range is accessible,
prior to installing the back guard. Begin by mak-
ing sure that the range is unplugged. Next
remove the open top burner gratesand the enam-
eled pans beneath the grates. Treat all parts with
careto avoid chipping the porcelain enamel. Lift
and remove all open top burners.
2. REGULATOR
-SeeFig. 16
The convertible regulator on this unit hasa nat-
ural gassetting of5.0" WC. for natural gasand
10" WC. for L.P., and canbe found in the left
rear corner of the burner box. Remove the slot-
ted plug in the regulator and turn it over so that
the side stamped "L.P." facesoutward, then rein-
sert ensuring it is properly locked in place.
3. FOR GRIDDLE UNIT
(MODEL RG484GD,GG, RG364GD) Empty the oven, remove the two side supports,
the four brackets, and screwsholding the oven
bottom down, and then the oyen bottom.
Remove the screw~;ecuringthe oven burner, then
the burner. Tighten the oven orifice hood down
until seatedagainstthe integral predrilled L.P.
pin. A 1/2" deep well socketis ideal for this pur-
pose.Do not over 1:ighten.
To remove the griddle assembly,first lift off the
front trim adjacent to the greasegutter. Beneath
the trim, you'll find tWo screws,-remove them.
Also remove the rearflue coverand remove the
center shipping screw.With thesescrews
removed, you can now lift off the griddle plate
assembly.Lift vertically and to the rearand
remove the griddle thermostat bulb from beneath
the plate by sliding it out (Do Not Tug Hard at
the Bulb or Capillary). Then remove the screw
securing the griddle burner and remove the burn-
er. Use carearound the griddle igniter, it is frag-

code, the installation must conform to the
National FuelGasCode ANSI 223.1-1988, latest
edition.

ADJUSTABLI~LOW SETTING
Plug unit back in. Turn gason. The open top
burner and grill v:llves used on your Range have
anadjustable low setting. Each valve is individu-
ally tested and adjusted on the appliance prior to
shipment. Due to fluctuations in gaspressure
and heating value or gasconversion, you may feel
it necessaryto increaseor decreasethe gasflow at
the low position. The griddle is thermostatically
controlled, therefore, no adjustment is necessary.
To Adjust:
1. Turn knob counter-clockwise to the LITE
posItIon.
2. Once lit, turn Itheknob back to the "LOW"
position.
If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient
air, adjust the shutter counterclockwise to
