Unpacking And Handling - Caliber RG4D Installation Manual

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Install components in the following order:
1. Locate and level range according to range and rangetop installation instructions.
Steps 2,3 & 4 are only relevant if you are installing a Wall Mount Full Backguard:
2. Measure distance from floor to top of island trim on range, adding 1/4" for backguard
clearance.
3. Transfer this measurement to the wall. This will mark the bottom of your backguard.
4. From this line measure 33 3/8" up wall to mark the top of a wall mount full backguard. This is
the minimum height that the bottom of your vent hood can be installed.
5. Follow vent hood manufacturer's installation instructions to install vent hood.
6. Connect gas and electric connections and slide range into position.
NOTE: A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed. See section 'Gas Hook-up~

UNPACKING AND HANDLING

WARNING!
Extremely Heavy
Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving
the range to avoid personal injury or damage to the unit or the floor.
The unit is heavy and rests on adjustable steel legs. Rangetops are less
420-630 lb than half of the weight of the ranges.
190-285 kg
Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
WARNING!:
DO NOT lift range by the oven door handles!!
WARNING!:
DO NOT remove the grill or griddle assemblies
MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE
The ranges have shipping weights varying from 420 lbs. to 630 lbs. less approx. 50 lbs. after removal
of packing material. It is recommended that the door(s), grates, and front kick panel be removed to
facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight for ease of handling.
It may be necessary to remove the oven door(s) to pass through some doorways. With the door(s)
removed, a 29-1/2" wide opening is required. Without removing the door, a 32" wide opening is
required. Remove the outer carton and packing material from the shipping base.

UNPACKING AND HANDLING
MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE (cont.)
Anti-tip device should be Installed (see section 'Installing
anti-tip device' for instructions). The professional range
should be transported by a dolly close to its final location.
The range can be tipped back and supported on the rear
legs while the dolly is removed. The floor under the legs
should be protected (wood strips, carpet, paneling, etc.)
before pushing the unit back into position.
Gas connections should be made before the range is slid
Into the cabinet opening (see section 'Gas hook-up'). If
installing a full backguard with the range, it should also
be installed before the range is placed in its final position
(see sections 'Planning the Installation' and 'Backguard
Installation'). For proper performance, the professional
range should be level. Flooring in cabinet opening must be
at the same level as flooring located In front of the cabinets.
To achieve a flush fit of the range to adjoining countertops,
it will be necessary to have level cabinets (front to back, and
left to right across opening of the range). After checking
the countertops for level and before sliding the range into
place, measure the distance from the floor to the top of
the counter work surface. In the rear left and right corners.
Adjust the corresponding rear corner of the range to an
equal height of the counter, as the rear leveling legs are
not accessible once the range is pushed into place. Once
the range Is in place, the front leg levelers can be accessed
to level the front of the range. Replace the kick panel (Fig.
2a) and oven doors by reversing the procedure described
further below. It is Important that the two screws retaining
the kick panel are secure to prevent accidental access to live
electrical components and wires (Fig. 2b).
To remove the kick panel:
Remove two screws at the top of the kick panel (Fig. 2c).
Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used
to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly
across the bottom (Fig. 3).
