Note:
If not already present, install gas shut-off valve in an easily
accessible location. Make sure all users know where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
Note:
The installer should inform the consumer of the location of
the gas shut-off valve.
Note:
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and any
opening in the floor under the appliance must be sealed.
The gas ranges may be connected to the power supply
with the range supply cord supplied with the range or by
hard-wiring to the power supply. It is the responsibility of
the installer to provide the proper wiring components (cord
or conduit and wires) and complete the gas connection as
dictated by local codes and ordinances, and/or the National
Electric Code. The units must be properly grounded. Refer
to Step 6 for details.
The range must be connected only to the type of gas
for which it is certified. If the range is to be connected to
propane gas, ensure that the propane gas supply tank is
equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to
the pressure regulator supplied with the range. (See
Step 5.)
Note:
The range is designed for flush installation to the back wall.
For a successful installation, it may be necessary to
reposition the gas-supply line and electrical cord as the
range is pushed back to its final position.
SUGGESTION: This may be accomplished by carefully
pulling on a rope or twine looped around the gas or
electrical supply line as the range is pushed back into
its final installed position.
Important:
The cord supplied with the gas ranges, having an electric
griddle, requires a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, shown here.
Local codes may require a different wiring method.

Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough-
in of the junction box for the receptacle will allow maximum
clearance to the rear of the unit. To minimize binding when
the unit is connected to the receptacle or junction box,
orient the receptacle and slide back into position.
When the power supply cord is connected to the mating
receptacle, the combined plug/receptacle connection
should protrude no more than 2-1/2" from the rear wall. See
Figure 3b.

Step 3: Unpacking and Moving
the Range
CAUTION
Proper equipment and adequate manpower
must be used in moving the range to avoid
injury, and to avoid damage to the unit or the
floor. The unit is heavy and should be handled
accordingly.
• The range has an approximate shipping weight as
shown in Chart A. The literature packet with manuals,
cooking grates, griddle plate, burner caps, front kick
panel and oven racks must be removed to facilitate
handling. Removing the door(s) is also recommended
(See “Step 8: Door Removal and Reinstallation” on
page 14). This will reduce the weight as shown in Chart
A. See Figure 2 on page 6. Do not remove the
griddle element and tray assembly.
