The minimum supplypressure needed to check the regulator setting is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for LPgas.WARNING: The range and its individual shut-o valve must bedisconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gassupply system at test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds per square inch gauge).The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individualshut-o valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressuresequal to or greater than 1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALSFailure to remove packaging materials could result indamage to the appliance. Remove all packing parts fromoven, racks and drawer. Also, remove protective film andlabels on the door and cooktop.Move Range Indoors in Front of Cabinet Opening:Do not use hand trucks when moving the unpacked range,as damage to the cooktop may occur.Protect the Kitchen Floor: Flatten and place a piece of the shipping carton in frontof the installation location to protect the flooring.1PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)If the countertop area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to the cooktop causing damage and voidingthe warranty. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstandthe heat (up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the range.A. Allow 30 " (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between burners and bottom of unprotected wood or metalcabinet, or allow a 24 " (61 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no lessthan 1/4 " (6.4 mm) thick flame-retardant millboard covered with no less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal(.015 " [.38 mm] thick), .015 " (.38 mm) thick stainless steel, .025 " (0.64 mm) aluminum or .020 "(0.5 mm) copper.B. Side wall clearance requirement:9½" (24.1 cm) clearance for models PCGS910 and PC2S910To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over burners, cabinet storage space above the cooktopshould be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reducedby installing a range hood that projects at least 5 " (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinetsinstalled above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13 " (33 cm) .Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and the floor under the range.2PREPARE THE RANGE3DOOR REMOVAL (optional)Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience.To remove the door:A. Open the oven door as far as it will go.B. Push both hinge locks down toward the door frame to theunlocked position. This may require a flat-blade screwdriver.DO NOT LIFT THE DOOR BY THE HANDLE!C. Place hands on both sides of the door, and close the oven doorto the removal position. (Approximately 1"–2" [2.5 cm–5.1 cm]from the closed position.)D. Lift door up and out until the hinge arms clear the slots.NOTE: The oven door is very heavy. Be sure you have a firmgrip before lifting the oven door off the hinges. Use caution oncethe door is removed. Do not lay the door on its handle. Thiscould cause dents or scratches.HingeunlockedpositionHingeslotHingearmSTORAGE DRAWER REMOVALA.

It must be connectedto a properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or fuse.We recommend that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mateswith a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle. The customer should have the wallreceptacle checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility andobligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wallreceptacle.Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third prong (ground) from thepower cord.Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend againstthe use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutelynecessary that it is a UL-listed 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord, and that thecurrent-carrying rating of the cord in amperes is equivalent to, or greater than, the branchcircuit rating.Installation of this product in a mobile home must conform with the Manufactured HomeConstruction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280. If this standard does not apply,you must follow the standard for the Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1 andManufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities and ANSI/NFPA 501A or withlocal codes.44MAKE GAS CONNECTIONSWARNING: Never reuse old connectors. The use of oldconnectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use new connectorswhen installing a gas appliance.WARNING: Do not use a to check for gas leaks. Use liquid leakdetector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.A. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line in an easily accessible location.B. Know how and where to shut off the gas supply to the range.C. Shut off gas supply before removing an old range. Leave it off until hookup of new rangeis finished.D. Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.-certifiedflexible metal appliance connector.E. Before making gas connections, make sure that the oven shut-off lever (visible at the backof range) is in the open position.F. To prevent gas leaks, put a pipe joint sealant or Teflon® tape on all male threads.NOTE: Make sure sealant or tape is compatible with Natural and LP gases.G. Install 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT elbow on pressure regulator.H. Connect flexible gas line to flare union.I. Move range into approximate position and connect flexible gas line to gas supply line withproper flare union adapter.J. When you are finished making connections, be sure that all range knobs are turned to OFFbefore you open the main gas supply valve.K. CHECK FOR LEAKS. Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid leak detector (soap solution)at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Do not use open ame to look for leaks.Be sure all leaks are stopped before lighting burners.5Gas supply to topburnersPressure regulatoras seen from frontof rangeGassupplyto ovenOven shut-off levershown in the openpositionNOTE: When screwingon the flare union adapter,hold the gas inlet firmlywith a wrench.PressureregulatorGas supplyline90° streetelbowShut-off valve Flexible gas line7" (17.8 cm) Max.Flare unionANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATIONTo reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range mustbe secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. Seeinstallation instructions shipped with the bracket forcomplete details before attempting to install.To check if the bracket is installed and engagedproperly, remove the storage drawer or kick panel andlook underneath the range to see that the leveling legis engaged in the bracket. On models without a storagedrawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward.The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches(10.2 cm). If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for anyreason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip deviceproperly.6SLIDE RANGE INTO OPENINGA. Position the range in front of the cabinet opening. Make sure that the cooktopthat overhangs the countertop clears the countertop. If necessary, raise the unitby lowering the leveling legs.B. Push while lifting the range into the opening until the range is within 2" (5.1 cm)of engaging the anti-tip bracket. Remove the protective channel from the sideof glass (if provided).C. Using the adjustable pliers or wrench, carefully screw in the back leveling legs until the cooktopoverhang touches the countertop. Then carefully screw in the front two leveling legs until thecooktop overhang touches the countertop.D. Carefully push the range into the opening until the unit isfully seated into the cabinet. The back cooktop overhangshould cover the cutout opening. Plug the range cordinto the receptacle. Locate the flexible gas line in theback of the range in a manner that it will not touch orbe moved by the drawer.7Position gas line so that there is nointerference with the storage drawerSTORAGE DRAWERREARWALLSIDE VIEWPREPARE THE OPENING (CONT.)2)38 cm (15") min.Orient electrical receptacle so the length is parallel to the floor.63.5 cm (25")76.2 cm(30")91.1 cm–92.7 cm(35-7/8"–36.5") fromfloor to countertopNOTE: Use a 122 cm (4') powercord to prevent interference withthe storage drawer.
