Gas Supply – Installation
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.
To access the regulator, remove the drawer.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14" (35,6 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. The regulator is set for 4" (10,2 cm)
water column (1,0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure;
the inlet pressure must be at least 5" (12,7 cm) water
column (1,25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the
regulator must be set for 10" (25,4 cm) water column
(2,5 kPa) manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be
at least 11" (27,9 cm) water column (2,75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 11). 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.
Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a
few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.
The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the
regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by
A.G.A./C.G.A.-approved flexible metallic union-
connected piping where local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the back wall
(Figure 8, zone 1) or through the floor (Figure 8,
zone 2):
Zone 1 - Through the Back Wall (7" (17,8 cm) X 6"
(15,2 cm)) - The best place to have your gas line in is
between 1" (2,5 cm) and 8" (20,3 cm) from the floor and
within 3" (7,6 cm) from the center line.
Zone 2 - Through the Floor (~2" (5,1 cm) X 24" (61
cm)) - The gas line can also come through the floor
within 12" (30,5 cm) from the center line against the
back wall.
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.
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 9.
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.

• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1,9
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 7).
• If the existing cutout width is greater than 30 1/16"
(76,4 cm), reduce the ¾" (1,9 cm) dimension.
• Countertop must be level. Place a level on the
countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If
the countertop is not level, the range will not be
level. The oven must be level for satisfactory baking
results. Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of
countertop opening.
