Contact a qualified floor covering installer
for the best procedure for drilling
mounting holes through your type floor
covering.
4.
Use the anti-tip bracket
template/instruction sheet to install the
anti-tip bracket. Anti-
tip bracket must be
anchored securely to
the sub floor.
Depending on the
thickness of your
flooring, longer
screws may be
needed to anchor the
bracket to the sub
floor. Longer screws
are available from
your local hardware store.
6.
Remove cardboard shipping
base from under range. Open broiler
door. Use a 3/8" drive ratchet to lower
rear leveling legs one-half turn. Use
slip-joint pliers to lower front leveling
legs one-half turn.
5.
Check that range is still on
cardboard shipping base to protect floor
covering. Move range close to final
location.

Flexible metal appliance connector: If
local codes permit, a new CSA design-
certified, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended for
connecting range to the gas supply line.
A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is needed
for connection to pressure regulator
connection fitting. Do not kink or damage
the flexible metal tubing when moving
the range.

to range
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be
equipped with a 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. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the range. Do not
block access to shutoff valve.
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 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not
sure about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP) — The range and its individual
manual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures greater than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Rigid pipe connection: Requires a
combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
in-line connection to the range. All strains
must be removed from the supply and
fuel lines so range will be level and in
line.
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP) or lower — The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
