40" DUAL FUEL RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Models with Electric Ovens and Gas Cooktop) the cabinet. If back of range will not be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Now install anti-tip brackets (see "Anti-tip Brackets Installation", page 10). If range will not be installed against a cabinet, move range into final position. Draw a line on the floor along both sides of the range. If back of range will not be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Now install anti-tip brackets (see "Anti-tip Brackets Installation", page 10). Gas Supply Installation Figure 9 When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to operate on 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator (see figure 2) is connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. To access the regulator, remove the drawer. For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14" 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" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least 5" water column (1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for 10" water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least 11" water column (2.75 kPa). The supply line should be equipped with an approved shutoff valve (see Figure 9). 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 shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to 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 is an ideal location for the main shutoff valve. 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. Assemble the flexible conduit from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in this order: 1- manual shutoff valve, 2- flare union adapter, 3- flexible conduit, 4- flare union adapter, 5- pressure regulator. The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be 1/2" or 3/4" solid pipe. The user must know the location of the main shutoff valve and have easy access to it. When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for cleaning or servicing. NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched between the wall and the range. To visually check, remove the range drawer. Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible conduit is used, be certain that it is not kinked. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion. All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be installed must be sealed. 6
