Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this oven must be used.

The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper

operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet

pressure.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for

elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), the burner should be

reduced 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not

applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least

1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on

the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The oven and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected

from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The oven must be isolated 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Built-In Oven

1.

Decide on the final location for the oven. Locate existing

wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during

installation.

2.

To avoid floor damage, set the oven onto cardboard prior to

installation. Do not use handle or any portion of the front

frame or trim for lifting.

3.

Remove the shipping materials and tape from the oven.

4.

Remove the hardware package from inside the bag

containing literature.

5.

Remove and set aside racks and other parts from inside the

oven.

6.

Move oven and cardboard close to the oven’s final location.

Remove Oven Door.

IMPORTANT: Use both hands to remove oven doors.

1.

Open door to the broil stop position (about 4" to 6" [10.2 cm

to 15.2 cm]).

2.

Grasp sides of the door at the middle. Slowly lift door straight

up.

3.

While lifting the door up, very slightly open the door by pulling

it forward. Check that the latches swing down into the

notches on the hinge arms.

Make Gas Connection

Typical flexible connection

1.

Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the

smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see B

and G in the following illustration).

2.

Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the

other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install oven.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.

Examples of a qualified person include:

licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
