30" GAS SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Models with Sealed Top Burners) • If you are using a through the floor gas entry, remove the line protector shield from the bottom of the unit to allow access for the pipe line (figure 3). • We recommend to install a pipe elbow right out of the floor or wall towards the center of the unit to ease the installation. Gas pressure regulator location 4. Connect the range to the gas supply Important: Remove all packing material and literature from range before connecting gas and electrical supply. To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all external pipe threads. Your regulator is in location as shown in figure 3. Do not allow regulator to rotate on pipe when tightening fittings. Connection to Pressure Regulator The regulator is already installed on the appliance. To remove the line protector, remove the 3 screws. Figure 3 2. Provide an adequate Gas Supply When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed 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. If LP/Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions provided with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/Propane use. Care must be taken during installation of range not to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 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" (0,25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples: If regulator is set for natural gas 4" (10,16 cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5" (12,7 cm); if regulator has been converted for LP/ Propane gas 10" (25,4 cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11" (27,9 cm). Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the instructions in step 4. The gas supply line should be ½" or ¾" I.D. (Interior Diameter) 3. Seal the openings Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range after gas supply line is installed. Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion. Manual Shutoff Valve Flare Union GAS FLOW Pressure Flare Regulator Union On All Nipple Off connections Flexible Nipple Connector must be wrench-tightened Access Cap Figure 4 Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in the following order: 1. manual shutoff valve (not included) 2. 1/2" nipple (not included) 3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included) 4. flexible connector (not included) 5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included) 6. 1/2" nipple (not included) 7. pressure regulator (included) Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked. The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the to appliance shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Shutoff Valve Open position to gas supply line 7
