Clearance Dimensions
The bottom of a standard hood should be
30" (76.2 cm) min. to 36" (91.4 cm) max.
above the countertop. This would
typically result in the bottom of the hood
being 66" (167.6 cm) to 72" (182.9 cm)
above the floor. Refer to the range hood
installation instructions for additional
information. These dimensions provide for

Wall Installation
Note: Minimum clearance for back wall
is 3/8" (0.9 cm) with backguard or high-
shelf. See Standoff Spacer Removal
section to allow 0" clearance.
Note: This range comes standard with an Island
Trim. There must be a minimum of 6" (15.2 cm)
clearance from rear of range to a combustible
wall or 0" clearance to a non-combustible wall.
Note: Clearances from non-combustible
materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope
and not certified by CSA. Clearances to non-
combustible materials must be approved by the
authority having jurisdiction.
Electrical & Gas Requirements
Electrical Requirements
Check your national and local codes
regarding this unit. This range requires
120VAC/60 Hz; 4 ft. (121.9 cm), 3-wire cord
with grounded 3-prong plug attached to
unit. See "Electrical Connection" section for
grounding instructions. Must be fused
seperately from any other circuit.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, personal injury or death;
verify electrical power is turned off at the
breaker box and gas supply is turned off
until the range is installed and ready to
operate, installation by an authorized
installer only.
Gas Connection
The gas supply (service) line must be the
same size or greater than the inlet line of the
appliance. This range uses a 1/2" (1.3 cm) ID
NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints
must be resistive to LP gas.
The range is designed specifically for
natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas.
Before beginning installation verify that
the model is compatible with the intended
gas supply.
Manual shut-off valve:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed
in the gas service line before the appliance
in the gas stream and in a location where it
can be reached quickly in the event of
an emergency. Any opeing behind the range
shall be sealed.
11
In Massachusetts:
A "T" handle type
manual valve must be installed in the gas
supply line to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required
must be performed by your dealer or a
qualified licensed plumber or gas service
company. Please provide the service person
with this manual before work begins.
Pressure Regulator:
• All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking
equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation, since service pressure
may fluctuate with local demand. External
regulators are not required on this range
since a regulator is built into each unit at
the factory. Under no condition bypass
this built-in regulator.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with
a manometer, natural gas requires 5.0"
W.C.P. and LP gas requires 10.0" W.C.P.
Incoming line pressure upstream from the
regulator must be 1" W.C.P. higher than
the manifold pressure in order to check
the regulator. The regulator used on this
range can withstand a maximum input
pressure of 1/2" PSI (14.0" W.C.P.). If the
line pressure is in excess of that amount, a
step down regulator will be required.
• The appliance must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system.
