Leveling; Gas Connections - Vulcan-Hart MG12 Installation & Operation Manual

LEVELING

Check the leveling of the range. Place a carpenter's level across the range top plates. Level
front to back and side to side.
To adjust the leveling, tilt the range to one side and, using channel locks, unscrew the
adjustable leg insert as required. Repeat this procedure as necessary for each leg.

GAS CONNECTIONS

be resistant to the action of propane gases.
Connect gas supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions. Codes require that
a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range. Standard ranges are
equipped with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation. Install the gas
pressure regulator. Before installing, ensure that regulator supplied agrees with rating plate gas
supply.
The gas pressure regulator is NOT factory installed. The
regulator for this gas type is packaged with the range. This
regulator must be field installed by a qualified installer.
Natural gas regulators are preset for 4.0" W.C. (Water
Column); propane gas regulators for 10.0" W.C.
1. Locate ¾" (1.9 cm) gas connection pipe extending
from rear of range.
2. Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.
3. Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator
arrow pointing towards range body back (Fig. 6).
4. Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an
upright position (Fig. 6).
The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow (Fig. 6). The pressure regulator
must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator is
installed in any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper operation.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not
obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, because obstruction may cause regulator to
malfunction.
