Planning The Installation - Fisher & Paykel DCS RGS Series Installation Manual

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The RGS is tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances.
The range must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See ventilation
requirements, page 9). 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.
All range models with less than a 12" clearance between combustible material and the back edge of
the range, require the installation of one of the two offered Wall Mount Backguards – see page 13.

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 / cooktop should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1-1988 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 range is 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 the gas at the installation site before
proceeding further. Return range to dealer if the unit is not set for site gas supply.
