Seal The Openings; Connect The Range To The Gas Supply; Provide An Adequate Gas Supply - Kenmore 790.3690 Installation Instructions Manual

| Cabinet Construction
_ 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" (12.7cm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinet.
| Countertop Preparation
• 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).

If 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, 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.
| Provide an adequate Gas Supply
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)
Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure
regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST
be connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/
Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions
provided with the kit for converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
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 the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples:
If regulator is set for natural gas 4" (10,16 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm);
if regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas
10"(25,4 cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be
at least 11 "(27,9 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the instructions in step 4.
The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3A" I.D. (Interior
Diameter)
| Seal the openings
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and
in the floor under the range after gas supply line is
installed.
Connect the range to the gas
supply
Important:
Remove all packing material and literature
from range before connecting gas and electrical supply.
To prevent leaks, put pipe joint sealant on all external
pipe threads.
Your regulator is in
location as shown.
Do not
allow regulator to
rotate on pipe when
tightening fittings.

Connection to Pressure Regulator
The 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 possible fire or
explosion.
