Power Supply Locations
Gas Supply:
- The natural gas models are designed to operate at 6" to 14" water column pressure.
•The liquid propane models are designed to operate at 11 to 14" water column pressure. A regulator is required at the L.P. source to provide a maximum of 14" water pressure to the range regulator.
• These gas ranges are supplied with 1/2" NPT female gas connection located at the left rear corner. - A minimum 5/8" dia. metal flexible line is required.
- For flexible connection, locate pipe stub on the back wall as illustrated. — Use 5-foot, 5/8" long flexible gas supply line.
- For rigid connection, locate the pipe stub as illustrated.
• Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line, in an easily accessible location.
Electric Supply:
These ranges must be supplied with 208/240 volt, 60 Hz., and connected to a individual, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse (50 amp for 48" ranges, 30 amp for 36" ranges and 25 amps for 30" ranges). The receptacle must be a NEMA 14-50R devise to accept the 4-prong plug supplied with the range.

Slide the Range Into Position
Plug power cord into properly grounded receptacle.
- Carefully, slide the range into position.
- Be careful not to entange power cord and gas flexible tubing.
- Be sure the right rear leg is engaged in the slot of the installed anti-tip bracket.

Step 9 Assemble & Adjust Burners
-Replace the burner bowls and burner caps.
- Adjustments should not be required, unless vibration during transit or variations in local gas supply make minor adjustments necessary.
CAUTION: Burner adjustments must be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used if adjustments are made after installation.
- Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow or yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If one of these conditions continues, adjust the air shutter as required.
-If the flame is too yellow, there is insufficient air flow, adjust the shutter counterclockwise to increase air inlet.
-If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, there is too much air. Turn the shutter clockwise to reduce air.
