VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

A suitable ventilation hood must be installed above the range. The following chart indicates the minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.
Installation recommendations

Installation recommendations

VENTILATION UNIT| STANDARD WALL INSTALLATION| ISLAND INSTALLATION
Hood| 23″ (548 mm) deep x unit width| 30″ (762mm) deep x (unit width + 4″ (102mm))
Blower 48″ Range| 1200 CFM| 1200 CFM
36″ Range| 600 – 1200 CFM| 600 – 1200 CFM
30″ Range| 600 CFM| 600 CFM

IMPORTANT

• Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting and/or a damper. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.
• Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when using the grill or the self-cleaning cycle.
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30″ (762mm) to a maximum of 36″ (914mm) above the range cooking surface.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (eg a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36″ (914mm) above the cooking surface.
• Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.

GAS CONNECTION

Gas requirements
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location.
The range is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP, depending on the specific model ordered.
Verify that the range is compatible with gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further.
Return the range to the dealer if the unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site.
Natural gas
Connection: 1/2″ NPT Minimum 5/8” dia. flex line.
Supply Pressure: 6” to 9″ WC.
LP gas

• Connection: 1/2″ NPT Minimum 5/8″ dia. flex line.
  Supply Pressure: 11″ to 14″ W.C.
• Regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure of 14” W.C. to the range regulator.

Requirements for hook-up to gas supply

• The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local cade, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI  Z.223.1 (Warning: this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts).
• A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts such shut-off  valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the appliance it serves.

IMPORTANT!

Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve In a location readily accessible by the customer, so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency situation. However, the appliance must  not be modified in any  way to accommodate such placement.

•  The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.
• Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance
• Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See instructions following.
• The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig  (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the  manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0″ W.-C. for natural gas or 12.0″ for LP.
• The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a certifying agency (CSA,  CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
• When hooking up the gas supply from the wall hard pipe to the range hard pipe, installation  length of flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate range being pulled from wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When range is pulled from wall, no strain should occur at range or wall hard pipe connections.

TOE KICK INSTALLATION

Insert both foot covers into the toe kick ensuring the long hem edge is facing the inside of the product.

Align the toe kick with side panels of the range.
Clip into place by rotating and pushing the bracket down over the range structure.

Check toe kick is flush with the range and secure using 2 screws.

LEVELLING THE RANGE

To expose both front feet, slide the interlocking foot covers out of the way.
Turn feet to adjust the height.

Replace both sets of covers, ensuring each set locks together.

PRIOR TO FINAL POSITIONING

• Ensure the doors and toe kick panel are securely in place, if removed previously.
• Ensure any Backguard is fitted prior to final positioning. Refer to page 10 for the Backguard options.
• Ensure all electrical and gas connections have been done as per instructions.
• Ensure flooring and adjacent cabinetry are also level. To achieve a flush fit of the range to adjoining countertops, it will be necessary to have level cabinets (front to back, and left to right across opening of the range).

COOKTOP BURNERS

• To check that the ignition system operates correctly, light each burner by itself, then all burners in combination.
• Check for a well-defined blue flame without any yellow tipping.
• If any abnormality is evident, check that the components of the burner assembly are located properly.
• When installing the burner port ring, align the two locating pins in the bottom side of the port ring with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the simmer ring, and make sure these are properly engaged.
• Incorrect installation may produce a potentially dangerous flame and result in poor burner performance.
• No air shutter adjustment is possible on the cooktop burners. Proper operation is achieved with factory installed settings for the correct gas type.
• If proper operation cannot be obtained, contact Customer Care or your nearest Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Center.
• The range and cooktop must not be used by the customer until proper operation has been achieved.

LEAK TESTING

• Make sure all oven and burner knobs are set to OFF before connecting range to gas supply.
• After final gas connection is made, turn gas supply on and test all connections in gas supply piping for gas leaks with a soapy water solution.
• In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use a Lighted match or open flame.
  If a leak is present, tighten joint or unscrew, apply more joint compound, tighten again and retest connection for leak.

GRILL AND GRIDDLE BURNERS (SOME MODELS ONLY)

• Each valve and air shutter is individually tested and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not required, however, vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary.
• Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if necessary.
  Burner flames should be blue and stable with no 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 this condition persists, adjust the air shutter as required.
  If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air, open the shutter to increase air inlet.
  If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, close the shutter to reduce air.

INSTALLING THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET

WARNING!
