30" GAS SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Starting

Tools you will need
For leveling legs and anti-tip brackets:
● Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers
● 1/4" (7mm) Nutdriver
● 3/8" (10mm) Nutdriver
● Electric Drill & 1/8 Diameter
Drill Bit (5/32" Masonry Drill
Bit if installing in concrete)
● Level & Measuring Tape
For gas supply connection:
● Pipe Wrench
● Brush
For burner flame adjustment:
● Phillips head
screwdrivers
For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):
● Open end wrench - 1/2"
Additional materials you will need:
● Gas line shut-off valve
● Pipe joint sealant that resists action of
LP/Propane gas
● A new flexible metal appliance conduit
(½" NPT x ¾" or ½" I.D.) must be design
certified by CSA International. Because
solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using a new flexible conduit
(4 feet length) for each new installation and
additional reinstallations.
● Always use the (2) new flare union
adapters ½" NPT x ¾" or ½" I.D.) supplied with the
new flexible appliance conduit for connection of the
range.

Cabinet Construction

1.
1.1
To eliminate the risk of cabinet
burns and fire, do not have cabinet storage space
above the range. If there is cabinet storage space
above range, reduce risk by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12,7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
Countertop Preparation (figure 1)
1.2
• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout
edge of your countertop.
• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay
directly on edge of countertop.
• Formed front-edged countertops must have
molded edge shaved flat 3/4" (1,9 cm) from each
front corner of opening (Figure 1).
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1,9
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 1).
(Models with Sealed Top Burners)
and blade-type
Min.
Cutout
Width
• If the existing cutout width is greater than
30-1/16" (76,4 cm), reduce the ¾" (1,9 cm)
dimension.
• Countertop must be level. Place a level on the
countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If
the countertop is not level, the range will not be
level. The oven must be level for satisfactory baking
results. Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of
countertop opening.
Gas and Electric Entry Preparation
1.3
• The hatched areas are the locations where the gas
line can enter the cabinet (figure 2).
• The recommended position for the gas entry line is
located at 7¼" (18,4 cm) from the left cabinet wall
and 2" (5,1 cm) from the floor (figure 2).
• The shaded area is the location where the electric
outlet can be located (figure 2).
