30" DUAL FUEL SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(Models with an Electric Oven and a Gas Cooktop)

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply

pipe to the pressure regulator in the following order:

1. manual shutoff valve (not supplied)

2. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)

3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)

4. flexible connector (not supplied)

5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)

6. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)

7. pressure regulator (supplied)
The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be

1/2" (1,27 cm) or 3/4" (1,9 cm) 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

connectors

are used,

be certain

connectors

are not kinked.

All connections must be wrench-tightened

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 shutoff valve. The valve is for

turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the

gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move

through the gas line.
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.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas

leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff

valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater

than 1/2 psig (3,5 kPa or 14" (35,56 cm) water column).
Isolate the range from the gas supply piping

system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig

(3,5 kPa or 14" (35,56 cm) water column).

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/

Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with

natural gas.
If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/

Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located

in a bag containing the literature marked "FOR

LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the

instructions packaged with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified

service technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and

requirements. Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury or property damage.

The qualified agency performing this work assumes

responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate

conversion can result in personal injury and property

damage.
