Flexible metal appliance connector: ■■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line. ■■ A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator. ■■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range. ■■ Must include a shut-off valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range. B A C A. Gas supply line B. Shut-off valve Open position C. To range Gas Pressure Regulator The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation: Natural gas: Minimum pressure: 5" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP LP gas: Minimum pressure: 11" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure. Burner Input Requirements Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m). For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada). Gas Supply Pressure Testing Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial/rating plate. Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) The range and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa). INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Unpack Range WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. 1. Remove shipping materials, tape, and film from the range. Keep cardboard bottom under range. 2. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven. 3. To place range on its back, take 4 cardboard corners from the carton. Stack 1 cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid on its back. 4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners. 5. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove. 6. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs. 7. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or hardboard. Adjust Leveling Legs 1. If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or pliers to loosen the 4 leveling legs. This may be done with the range on its back or with the range supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed back to a standing position. NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or hardboard. 2. Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A minimum of 3/16" (5.0 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip bracket. NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing, tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to adjust the rear legs. 3. When the range is at the correct height, check that there is adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket. Before sliding range into its final location, check that the anti-tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation. 7

Flexible metal appliance connector:
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to
5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm)
I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used
for connecting range to the gas supply line.
A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Must include a shut-off valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet.
It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for proper operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install range.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Adjust Leveling Legs
1.
If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench
or pliers to loosen the 4 leveling legs.
This may be done with the range on its back or with the
range supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed
back to a standing position.
NOTE:
To place range back up into a standing position, put
a sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2
or more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or
hardboard.
2.
Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs
can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm).
A minimum of
3
/
16
" (5.0 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip
bracket.
NOTE:
If height adjustment is made when range is standing,
tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to
adjust the rear legs.
3.
When the range is at the correct height, check that there is
adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket.
Before sliding range into its final location, check that the
anti-tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear
leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation.
