WARNING:

Electrical Shock Hazard:

This appliance must be properly grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,

in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). In Canada, electrical

grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local

codes. See the Electrical Requirements section.

PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION

The maximum allowable supply pressure for the regulator is 14" W.C. The minimum supply

pressure needed to check the regulator setting is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for LP

gas.

WARNING:

The range and its individual shut-o valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas

supply 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 individual

shut-o valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures

equal to or greater than 1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.

REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS

Failure to remove packaging materials could result in

damage to the appliance. Remove all packing parts from

oven, racks and drawer. Also, remove protective film and

labels 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.

Flatten and place a piece of the shipping carton in front

Protect the Kitchen Floor:

of the installation location to protect the flooring.

PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)

If the countertop area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to the cooktop causing damage and voiding

the warranty. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstand

the 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 metal

cabinet, or allow a 24" (61 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less

than 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 PC2S910

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over burners, cabinet storage space above the cooktop

should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced

by installing a range hood that projects at least 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets

installed 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.

detector 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 range

is finished.

D. Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.-certified

flexible metal appliance connector.

E. Before making gas connections, make sure that the oven shut-off lever (visible at the back

of range) is in the open position.

Be sure all leaks are stopped before lighting burners.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

6

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must

be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See

installation instructions shipped with the bracket for

complete details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged

properly, remove the storage drawer or kick panel and

look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg

is engaged in the bracket. On models without a storage

drawer 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 any

reason, 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 device

properly.

SLIDE RANGE INTO OPENING

A. Position the range in front of the cabinet opening. Make sure that the cooktop

that overhangs the countertop clears the countertop. If necessary, raise the unit

by 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 side

of glass (if provided).

C. Using the adjustable pliers or wrench, carefully screw in the back leveling legs until the cooktop

overhang touches the countertop. Then carefully screw in the front two leveling legs until the

cooktop overhang touches the countertop.

D. Carefully push the range into the opening until the unit is
