REAR TRIM KIT INSTALLATION
(OPTIONAL)
If there is no counter surface around the back edge of the installa-
tion space, or if the countertop cutout is greater than 25" deep, this
may prevent the range from being installed flush to the back wall.
If this occurs, a trim kit can be installed to cover a gap up to 1" in
width. See Figure 4.
SLIDE-IN INSTALLATION
COUNTER CONTINUES BEHIND
CUTOUT SPACE, AND NO REAR
FILLER TRIM IS REQUIRED.
TO INSTALL REAR TRIM
1
Align filler trim to mounting holes.
2
Attach with screws provided as shown in Figure 5.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.
• Do not overtighten the connection to the regulator. The regulator
is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a
gas leak and possible fire or explosion.
• Do not use a flame to check for leaks.
• The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the
quality of work performed, including checking for leaks and
ensuring installation meets code requirements.
TO CONNECT TO GAS SUPPLY
1
Shut off the main gas supply valve.
2
Because the range must be pulled away from the installation
space to provide access to the gas regulator connections, and
because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the range
can only be installed using a CSA International-certified flexible
metal appliance connector.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
NO COUNTER BACK-SPLASH
IS LEFT; REAR FILLER TRIM IS
RECOMMENDED.
FIGURE 4
FIGURE 5
Contact Sharp Customer Service if local codes require a hard-
piped connection. Never use an old connector when installing
a new range.
3
To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-
thread tape with Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads.
4
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily
accessible location outside of the range. Instruct the consumer
on the location and operation of the shut-off valve.
5
As shown in Figure 6 below, install male
to the
1
/
" NPT internal thread at the regulator inlet using no
2
more than 15 ft-lbs of torque. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
6
As shown in Figure 6 below, install male
adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve
using no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque, taking care to back up
the shutoff valve to keep it from turning.
7
Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on
the range.
8
Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
9
Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the shut-off valve.

10 When all connections have been made, leave the range pulled
out from installation space. Ensure the shut-off valve is open
and all range controls are in the off position.
11 Turn on the main gas supply valve and use a liquid leak detector
(or soap and water) at all joints and conduits to check for leaks
in the system.
12 Form the gas flexible connector as shown. This will prevent the
flexible connector from pinching or blocking the unit when the
unit is pushed into its final position.
