Gas Supply Range and Rangetop
The natural gas models are designed to operate at
5" water column pressure. For proper operation, the
pressure of the natural gas supplied to the regulator
must be between 7" and 13" water column.
The LP models are designed to operate at 10" water
column pressure. For proper operation, the pressure
of the LP gas supplied to the regulator must be
between 11" and 13" water column.
All models can be ordered to operate on NATURAL
or LP gas. Models ordered to operate on NATURAL
gas are shipped with an LP conversion kit. Models
ordered to operate on LP gas are shipped with a
NATURAL gas conversion kit.
High Altitude Conversion Kit
- For operation
above 6,000 feet, order Part #WB28K10553. This
kit includes ori
fi
ces for both LP and Natural gas
operation.
A manual shut-off valve in the gas line (not
provided), is to be installed in an easily accessible
location. Make sure the homeowner knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range or
rangetop.
Installation
Range Electric Supply
These ranges must be supplied with 208/240 volt,
60 Hz., and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit.
This branch circuit is to be protected by a circuit
breaker or time delay fuse (50 amp for 48" ranges,
30 amp for 36" and 30" ranges).
The receptacle must be a NEMA 14-50R device to
accept the 4-prong plug supplied with the range.
If the electrical service provided does not meet
the above speci
fi
cations, it is recommended that a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Rangetop Electric Supply
These rangetops must be supplied with 120 volt,
60 Hz., and connected to a dedicated, properly
grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of shock hazard from this
appliance.
If the electrical service provided does not meet
the above speci
fi
cations, it is recommended that a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Backsplash Requirements
All models require 12" minimum clearance to a
vertical combustible surface at the rear. In a range
installation, if clearance is less than 12", the entire
surface of the back wall above and the full width
of the range must be protected by a backsplash.
In a rangetop installation, if clearance is less than
12", the entire surface of the back wall above the
countertop and the full width of the rangetop must
be protected by a backsplash. The backsplash must
be constructed of non-combustible material, such
as metal, ceramic tile, brick, marble or other stone.
WARNING:
Installations without a hood require
48" minimum to combustibles. A custom hood
installation with exposed horizontal combustible
surfaces must have an Auto-On feature. Refer to
hood installation instructions for speci
fi
c hood
clearances.
