Installation Instructions
Removing the Oven Door
WARNING
•
Do not attempt to disengage the hinge catches with the
door(s) removed from the range. The hinge springs could
release causing personal injury.
•
Do not lift or carry the oven door(s) by the handle.
NOTE
: When installing a backguard, always install it before sliding
the range into place. See page 6.
To make the range easier to move, remove the door(s) to reduce
weight.
1. Open the door to its fully opened position.
2. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and a flat blade screwdriver
to rotate the catch over the retaining arm on each hinge.
3. Lift the oven door to about a 15° angle from the vertical
position.
4. Hold the door with both hands just below the handle and pull
it away from the oven while continuing to lift.

Gas Connection
WARNING
• Make sure the gas supply valve is off and that the power
cord to the range is disconnected prior to connecting the
gas line.
• Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening gas
connections and fittings.
• Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on gas flex line
connections.
• For LP installations, the LP gas tank must have its own
high pressure regulator. This is in addition to the pressure
regulator provided with the range.
• The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator must
never exceed 1/2 pound per square inch (psi) or 3.5 kPa.
• The range and shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping during any pressure testing exceeding 1/2
psi (3.5 kPa).
• The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping by
closing the shut-off valve during any pressure testing at or
below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Check all gas lines for leaks as instructed to avoid a fire or
explosion hazard. Do not use a flame to check for leaks.
NOTE:
The gas pressure regulator is pre-set at the factory for the
type of gas intended for use with the appliance. To verify that the
appliance is compatible with the type of gas available, check the
range rating label (see inside cover for location). Ranges intended
for use with LP gas will have “LP” as a part of the model number.
Consult your dealer if the range is not compatible with the type of
gas supplied.
Before sliding the range into the cabinet:
1. Make sure the gas supply valve is in the off position and that
power to the range is off.
2. Connect a flexible gas supply line to the gas shut-off valve
previously installed on the stub out. The gas line needs to be
long enough to allow the range to be pulled out for service.
3. Slide the gas line up through the access holes in the chassis
and up to the regulator. Move the wires around inside the
access holes to prevent them from catching on the gas line
as you push it up.
4. Connect the gas line to the regulator.
5. Turn all cooktop control valves to the “OFF” position. Turn on
the gas supply.
6. Check all lines and
connections for
leaks using a soap
and water solution.
7. After verifying that
there are no gas
leaks, turn off the
gas supply valve
connected to the
range to the off
position.
