GW399LXU
Gas supply: Use 3/4" rigid pipe gas supply line
to the range location. A smaller size pipe on long
runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With
L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"
minimum. If local codes permit, it is
recommended that new flexible metal tubing,
design-certified by AGA or CSA, 1/2-inch or
3/4-inch I.D., be used for connecting the range to
the rigid gas supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads. An individual manual shutoff
valve must be located in the same room, but
external to the range.
Electrical: A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
10-ampere, electrical supply fused on both sides
of the line. A separate circuit is recommended. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
COUNTERTOP PREPERATION
The cooktop sides of the slide-in range fit over the cutout
edge of your countertop.
If you have a square finish (flat) countertop and the
opening width is 30" (76.2 cm), no countertop
preparation is required.
Formed front-edged countertops: Must have molded edge
shaved flat 3/8" (1.0 cm) from each front corner of
opening.
Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/8" (1.0 cm)
from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened.
If countertop opening width is greater than
30" (76.2 cm), adjust the 3/8" (1.0 cm) dimension.
Countertop must be level. Place level on countertop, first
side to side; then front to back. If countertop is not level,
range will not be level. Oven must be level for
satisfactory baking conditions.
