Installation Instructions

Cabinet Opening

Prepare the opening for the oven in a wall cabinet 25
inches wide by 54 inches high by 23-3/4 inches deep.
The bottom of the cabinet opening must be 12-1/2
inches above the floor.
The bottom of the opening must be level and square for
proper installation. The opening must completely en-
close the unit. Any openings must be sealed before in-
stallation.

Installation Requirement

The oven is shipped from the factory set for use with
natural gas. It may be converted for use with LP gas.
Instructions to convert to LP use are found on
pages 11-13.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition; in Canada CAN/CGA-
B149.1 or -B149.2.
If the oven is installed in a mobile home, the installation
must conform with the Manufactured Home Construc-
tion and Safety Standards, Title 24CFR, Part 3280 (for-
merly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construc-
tions and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or, when such
standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufac-
tured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or
with local codes. When installed in mobile housing in
Canada, the installation must conform with CSA Stan-
dard Z240.4-1 for gas-equipped mobile housing and with
local codes.

Gas Connection

The gas supply pipe should be 1/2-inch rigid pipe or an
AGA or CGA design approved flexible connector. Use a
pipe joint compound resistant to the action of propane
gas on all male threads.
The manual shut-off valve must be installed in an acces-
sible location outside the oven. The customer should
know how and where to turn off the gas supply.
Assemble the supply line up to the union as shown in
the following illustration.
Gas Supply Connection
When using a flexible connector, the connections
should be made as shown replacing only the 1/2-inch
rigid pipe with the flexible connector.
Do not attach the supply line to the regulator until the
electrical connection has been made. The supply line
connection can only be made after the unit is placed in
the cabinet opening.

Pressure Testing

The oven and its individual shut-off valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The gas supply pressure for testing the regulator setting
must be seven inches WCP for natural gas and 11
inches WCP for LP gas. The maximum supply pressure
for the oven must not exceed 14 inches WCP.

Electrical Connection

When the appliance is installed, it must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the ab-
sence of local codes, with the current National Electri-
cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, CSA Standard
