• Reset a ll
controls to the "off" position whenever
the oven is done cooking.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils
before self-deaning the oven, Wipe up excess
spillage. Follow tile precleaning instructions in tile Use
and Care Guide.
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS
NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the
cooktop.
1. Before Installing the Range
Remove shipping material
Remove all tape, shipping and packaging materials and
the oven rack packaging.
2. Provide an adequate Gas Supply
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,!6 cm) water column (I.0 kPa) Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be
connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/
Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions
provided with the kit for converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct tile flow of air for combustion and ventilation.
For proper operation, tile maximum inlet pressure to the
regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa). The inlet pressure to
the regulator must be at least I " (.25 kPa) greater than
the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples: If
regulator is set for natural gas 4"(10,!6 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm); if
regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas
10"(25,4cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be
at least 11 "(27,9 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the instructions in step 4.
The gas supply line should be _/2" or 3A" I.D. (Interior
Diameter)
3. Seal the openings
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
floor under tile range after gas supply line is installed.
4. Connect the range to the gas supply
Important:
Remove all packing material and
literature from range before connecting gas and
electrical supply.
To prevent leaks, put pipe
joint sealant on all external
pipe threads.
Your regulator is in location
shown below.
Do not allow
regulator to rotate on pipe
when tightening fittings.

Connection to Pressure Regulator
Tile regulator is already installed on tile appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack tile
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. manual shutoff valve (not included)
2. 1/2" nipple (not included)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included
4. flexible connector (not included)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not included
6. 1/2" nipple (not included)
7. pressure regulator (Included)
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the
same room as tile range and should be in a location that
