IRTANT SAFETY
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range,
Before installing the range in an area covered
with linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can
withstand heat at least 90°F above room
temperature without shrinking, warping or
discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/
4" (10,16 cm)thick plywood between the range and
carpeting.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the
oven vent nor around the base or beneath the
lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the
vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may become
hot while the oven is in operation. This range requires
fresh air for proper burner combustion.

When shipped from the factory, this unit isdesigned to
operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected
in series with the gas supply line. To accessthe regulator,
remove the drawer.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm)of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).
The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25
kPa)greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting.
The regulator is set for 4"(10,16 cm)water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must
be at least 5"(12.60 cm)water column (1.25 kPa) Natural
gas. For LP/Propanegas, the regulator must be set for
10"(25,4 cm)water column (2.5 kPa)manifold pressure; the
inlet pressure must be at least 11"(27,9 cm)water column
(2.75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 11). This valve should be located
in the same room asthe range and should be in a location
that allows easeof opening and closing. Do not block
accessto the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gasto the appliance.Open the shutoff valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gasto move
through the gas line.
The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator
may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./C.G.A.-
approved flexible metallic union-connected piping where
local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the
right cabinet. The right side cabinet isan ideal location for
the main shutoff valve.

point before placing the range at its final
position. Follow the installation instructions on
page 13 or on the anti-tip bracket template
supplied with the range.
To provide an optimum installation, the top surface
of the countertop must be level and flat (lie on the
same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make the top
flat should be made or gaps between the
countertop and the range cooktop may occur.
Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
Make sure that the glass which overhangs the
countertop clears the countertop. If necessary, raise
the unit by lowering the leveling legs.
Level the range (see section 8). The floor where
the range is to be installed must be level. Follow the
instructions under "Leveling the Range".
Slide the range into the cutout opening.
