Installation; Unpack Range - Whirlpool WGG745S0FE Owner's Manual

Gas Supply Line
■ Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. With propane gas, piping or tubing size
can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, propane gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of propane gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122
to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible
metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range
to the gas supply line.
■ A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to
the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure
regulator.
■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving
the range.
■ Must include a shutoff valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used.
The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper
operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Propane gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) 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), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 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" (2.5
cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown
on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge [14" (35.6
cm) WCP]
The range 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge [14" (35.6 cm)
WCP] or lower
The range 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range.
Keep cardboard bottom under range.
2. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.
3. To place range on its back, take 4 cardboard corners from the
carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat
with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor
behind the range to support the range when it is laid on its
back.
4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay
it on its back on the cardboard corners.
5. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.
6. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs.
7. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or
more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or
hardboard.
