Cabinet Construction
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, 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 tile bottom of tile cabinet.
Countertop Preparation
• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout edge
of your countertop.
• If you have a square finish (fiat) 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 8).
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 8).

• tf the existing cutout width is greater than
30 1/16" (76,4 cm), reduce the 3A" (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, tile 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 Supply- Installation
When shipped from tile factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (I .0 kPa) Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected
in series with tile gas supply line. To access tile regulator,
remove tile drawer.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).
The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25
kPa) greater than tile regulator manifold pressure setting.
The regulator is set for 4" (! 0,16 cm) water column (I .0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must
be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column (!.25 kPa) Natural
gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for
10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure;
the inlet pressure must be at least 11 "(27,9 cm) water
column (2.75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 12). This valve should be located
in tile same room as the range and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and (:losing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance. Open the shutoff valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through tile gas line.
Tile gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator
may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./C.G.A.-
approved flexible metallic uniomconnected piping where
local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the
right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal location for
the main shutoff valve.
Connection to Pressure Regulator
Tile regulator is already installed on the appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight. The
regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator
resulting in a gas leak and )ossible fire or explosion.
