Introduction - Fisher & Paykel DCS RGS Series Installation Manual

INTRODUCTION

The DCS RGS series ranges are designed with a large number of features available in a multitude of
different combinations. Patented Dual Flow Burners TM allow for consistently lower simmer temper-
atures and have a high output of 17,500 Btu/hr. Also available on the ranges are an 18,000 Btu/hr
griddle and/or grill.
The large capacity gas convection ovens of the RGS series are equipped with an in-oven gas infrared
broiler. The smaller gas oven found on the 48" RGS series is ideal for baking smaller dishes. All range
models require the installation of one of the two offered Backguards if installed with less than 12" to
combustible material. See pages 5 and 14.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The RGS series ranges are tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas
Appliances. These ranges must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. See
Step 2 for ventilation requirements). Due to the professional high heat capacity of this unit, particular
attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to ensure it meets local building
codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage located
above the surface units should be avoided. Check local building codes for the proper method of range
installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all
applicable codes. In the absence of local codes, the range should be installed accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223-1-1998 and National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA 70-1990. Be sure
that the unit being installed is set up for the kind of gas being used. The gas ranges are shipped from
the factory set and adjusted for natural gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered.
Verify that the range is compatible with gas supply at the installation site before proceeding
further. Return range to dealer if unit is not set for site gas supply.
