INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE
2
Provide an adequate gas supply.
Please note: Operation at elevations above 2000 ft.,
appliance rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent
for each 1000 ft. above sea level.
This appliance is pre-set to operate on 4" natural gas
manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the manifold and MUST be connected
in series with the gas supply line. If the 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 fl ow of combustion and ventilation air.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the
regulator should be no more than 14 inches of water
column pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must
be at least 1 inch greater than regulator manifold pressure.
Example: If regulator is set for natural gas 4 inch manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5 inches; if
regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas 10
inch manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11
inches.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according
to the instructions in step 4g.
The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3/4" I.D.
3
Seal wall openings.
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
fl oor under the range after gas supply line is installed.
Connect range to gas supply.

Note: To prevent leaks use pipe joint sealant on all male
(outside) pipe threads. Do not allow gas pressure
regulator to turn on pipe when tightening fi ttings.
a. Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas
supply line in an accessible location outside of range.
Be sure you know where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range (See Fig. 8).
b. Install 1/2" fl are union adapter to gas pressure
regulator using no more than 15ft./lbs. of torque
(Refer to Fig. 8).

Be sure to stabilize the left side of the gas pressure
regulator before tightening ANY fi ttings to the pressure
regulator. Do not allow pressure regulator to turn on
pipe when tightening fi ttings (Refer to Fig. 9).
