1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
   Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

2. Install male 0.5 in (1.3 mm) flare union adapter to the 0.5 in (1.3 mm) NPT internal thread at the regulator inlet. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
   When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

3. Install male 0.5 in (1.3 mm) or 0.75 in (1.9 mm) flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

5. When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

WARNING

To prevent death, personal injury, explosion, and/or fire hazard, DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than ½ psig to pressure-test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of ½ psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

WARNING
Do not exceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making gas line connections. Overtightening may crack the pressure regulator resulting in a gas leak.

Flexible connector hookup
Installer: Inform the consumer of the location of the gas shut-off valve.

NOTE
If your area requires a rigid pipe hookup, contact a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
NOTE
The gas shut-off valve should be installed in an accessible location in the gas piping, external to the appliance, for the purpose of turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Step 3. Convert to lp gas (optional)

• All new gas ranges are shipped from the factory set up to use natural gas.
• Any Samsung gas range can be converted to use LP gas. Refer to page 55 in the User Manual to contact a qualified service technician.
• The conversion process should only be performed by a qualified LP gas installer. Conversion instructions and LP orifices will be supplied with the LP conversion kit. The conversion to LP requires all burner orifices to be changed (5 surface burners and 2 oven burners).
• In addition, the nozzle on the gas pressure regulator needs to be reversed.
• All replaced orifices must be left with the consumer, including the instructions and retrofit sizes and orifice indication.
• Checking the flame quality all burner after converting to lp gas.

Step 4. Install the anti-tip device
WARNING
To reduce the risk of tipping, the appliance must be secured by properly installing the anti-tip device packed with the appliance.

• All ranges can tip, resulting in personal injury.
• Tipping ranges can cause burns from spills, personal injury, and/or death.
• To prevent accidental tipping, install and check the anti-tip bracket following the instructions and template supplied with the bracket.

An anti-tip bracket and screws, installation instructions, and template are shipped with every range (PN DG94-00870B).
The instructions include information necessary to complete the installation
of the anti-tip bracket. Read and follow the instructions on the sheet and use the template for anti-tip bracket installation. If not properly installed, the range could be tipped by you or a child standing, sitting, or leaning on an open oven door.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove storage drawer and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. Carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches (10.2 cm) of tipping. 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.
Step 5. Plug in and place

WARNING
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding requirements on pages17 ~ 18 in this manual. Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

• All gas ranges come with a power cord. The power cord is connected to the rear of the range. Please review “Electrical requirements” on pages 17 ~ 18.
• The electrical system, including the power cord, is preinstalled and prewired at the factory. Altering any part of this system may result in a short or overload.

1. Plug in the power cord. Make sure the outlet meets local or national electrical codes as referenced on pages 17 ~ 18.
2. Slide the range into place.
3. Check the gas supply line to make sure it did not get damaged and it stayed connected during positioning.
4.  Check to make sure the back leg of the range has slid into the anti-tip bracket. Carefully tip the range forward to ensure that the anti-tip bracket engages the back brace and prevents tip-over.

Step 6. Level the range

1. Make sure the range is positioned where you want it.

2. Using a wrench, level the range by turning the front leveling legs in or out as necessary. Counterclockwise shortens the leg and lowers the range. Clockwise lengthens the leg and raises the range.
   NOTES
   

   • Adjusting the two front legs is usually sufficient, but adjust all four legs if necessary.
   • Adjust the leveling legs only as far as necessary to level the range. Extending the leveling legs more than necessary or removing legs can cause the range to be unstable.
     

3. If range is next to or between cabinets, make sure the cooktop (without the surface burner grates) is level with the countertops.

4. Position an oven rack in the center rack position.

5. Check the level of the range with a carpenter level using the two positions shown at right.

6. After the range becomes level, slide the range away from the wall so that the anti-tip bracket can be installed.

Step 7. Assemble the surface burners

CAUTION
Do not operate the surface burners without all burner parts in place.

1. Position surface burner heads on top of the surface burner manifolds as shown at right. The electrodes will fit into the slot in the bottom of the heads. Make sure the surface burner heads are flat and parallel with the cooktop.

2. Place the matching size caps on top of each surface burner head.
   NOTE
   The caps on Precise simmer burner
   (RR) and inside Dual Burner (RF) can be interchangeably used.

3. Place the left, center, and right surface burner grates on the cooktop.
   The edges of the grates should match up with the edges of the cooktop.

Step 8. Check the ignition of surface burners
Check the operation of all cooktop and oven burners after the range has been installed and assembled, gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks, and electrical power cord has been plugged in.
All surface and oven burners have electronic ignition.

To turn on a surface burner:

1. Press the button integrated into the knob.

2. Push in and turn the control knob for that surface burner to the Lite position. The
   clicking” sound indicates the electronic ignition system is operating properly. The burner will light in about 4 seconds, after the air has been purged from the supply line.

3. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. The “clicking” sound will stop and the flame height will change from Max. to Min. during turning the control knob.

4. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 to check the operation of each surface burner in succession.

NOTE

Place food in the oven after preheating if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is important for good baking results. After the oven has reached the desired cooking temperature, it will beep.

Checking the flame quality
All combustion flames need to be visually checked to determine their flame quality.

1.  Soft blue flames — Normal for natural gas operation.
2. Yellow tips on outer cones — Normal for LP gas operation.
3. Yellow flames — Abnormal for any gas operation; call for service.

NOTE
If burner flame looks like 3, the range should not be used until it is serviced. Call for service. Normal burner flames shall look like 1 or 2, depending on the gas type you use.

Step 9. Final installation checklist
You have just completed installing your range. Make sure all controls are in the off position and the flow of ventilation air to the range is unobstructed. The following is a checklist to confirm your range is safely installed and ready for operation.

• Gas line has been properly connected to the range. The gas has been turned on. All connections have been checked for leaks.
• Range is plugged into the properly grounded electrical receptacle.
• Approved anti-tip bracket is properly installed and engaged with the range.
• Range is leveled and is firmly sitting on a solid, level floor.
• Gas surface burners have been properly assembled.
• All burners have been tested for proper operation.
• FOR INSTALLER ONLY—Check and/ nor adjust the broil and oven burner flames as described on pages 22 – 23 in this manual.

Adjusting the oven burner air adjustment shutters

All oven burners have an air adjustment shutter. The purpose of the shutter is to regulate the flow of air to the flames. Properly adjusted flames should burn steadily with approximately 1 in of blue cone. The flames should never extend past the edge of the burner baffles. Even though these are preset at the factory, they should be checked and, if needed, adjusted periodically to ensure efficient operation.

To check and adjust the oven burner air adjustment shutters

1. Open the oven door.
2. Remove the oven racks.
3. Remove the oven floor.
4. Press the Bake pad, then the Start pad.
5. After the oven has lit, visually check the flames coming out of the upper and lower burners. If adjustment is needed, carefully adjust the air adjustment shutters.

The shutters are located at the base of the burner manifolds near the back oven wall.
To adjust the shutter, loosen the locking screw and rotate the shutter towards the open or closed position as needed. If flames are lifting off the burner ports, gradually reduce the air shutter opening until the flames are stabilized.
If flames are too yellow and/or too large, gradually increase the air shutter opening until the flames have approximately a 1 in blue cone.

NOTE
If the range is set up for natural gas, the flames should burn with no yellow tipping. If the range is set up for LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of the cones are normal.

After the flames are adjusted properly, shut off the oven, retighten the locking screws, replace the oven bottom and racks, and close the oven door.

To adjust flame low setting
Identify which burner is exhibiting too high or too low of simmer rate via manifold panel graphics.

1. Rotate a knob to Lo position and remove the knob from the valve stem while the flame is lit.

2. Carefully push the screw driver into the stem of the valve, until it hits the simmer set screw. Make sure the screwdriver flathead is seated into the set screw groove.

3. Rotate valve set screw clockwise to decrease Lo setting flame output, or rotate set screw counter clockwise to increase Lo setting flame output.

WARNING

1. Do not completely remove the valve set screw from the valve stem. The valve set screw is an integral part of the gas valve assembly. Removing the valve set screw will cause gas to leak.
2. After adjusting the valve set screw, inspect the assembly for gas leaks.
