30" GAS SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(Models with Sealed Top Burners)
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.
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.
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 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.

• 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.
To remove the line protector, remove the 3
screws.

for turning on
or shutting
off gas to the
appliance.
All connections must be wrench-tightened
