GAS REQUIREMENTS

LP Gas
Connection: 1/2″ NPT Minimum 5/8″ dia. flex line. Supply Pressure: 11″ to 14″ W.C. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure of 14″ W.C. to the range regulator.
Natural Gas
Connection: 1/2″ NPT Minimum 5/8″ dia. flex line. Supply Pressure: 6″ to 9″ W.C.

  • The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.
  • Ensure 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 guidance on ‘Leak testing’.
  • 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″ W.C. 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, the installation length of the flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate the range being pulled from the wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When the range is pulled from the wall, no strain should occur at the range or wall hard pipe connections.

The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, 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.
Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shut-off 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 to accommodate such placement.

FISHER PAYKEL RGV3 488 48 Inch Freestanding Professional Gas Range -
GAS

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.

COOKTOP BURNERS

FISHER PAYKEL RGV3 488 48 Inch Freestanding Professional Gas Range - COOKTOP
BURNER

  • 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 burner assembly is located correctly.
  • 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 dangerous flame and result in poor 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 must not be used by the customer until proper operation has been achieved.

LEAK TESTING

  • Ensure all oven and burner knobs are set to OFF before connecting the range to the gas supply.
  • After the final gas connection is made, turn the gas supply on and test all connections in the gas supply piping for gas leaks with a soapy water solution.
  • In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use an It match or an open flame to check for leaks.

If a leak is present: tighten joint or unscrew, apply more joint compound, tighten again and retest connection for the leak.

INFRARED BROIL AND OVEN BAKE BURNERS

FISHER PAYKEL RGV3 488 48 Inch Freestanding Professional Gas Range - Blue
flame

  • The oven infrared broiler burner has no air shutter and is not adjustable.

  • It is necessary to operate the oven broiler for 20-30 minutes to eliminate the harsh odor of the insulation binder. This must be done before using the range for the first time and with proper ventilation.

  • After approximately 5-8 minutes of operation, the burner screen should be glowing red.

  • The oven bake burner has an air shutter and is adjustable.

  • 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 the condition persists, adjust the air shutter as below:

  • If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air open the shutter to increase the air inlet.

  • If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, close the shutter to reduce the air inlet.

  • For warranty coverage, Fisher & Paykel requires that all burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. The improper adjustment will void your warranty.

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 the condition persists, adjust the air shutter as below:

  • If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air open the shutter to increase the air inlet.

  • If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, close the shutter to reduce the air inlet.

INSTALLING THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET

WARNING!

| To reduce the risk of tipping the appliance, it must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip device packed with the appliance.
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip device to the structure by fastening the supplied bracket to the floor and wall following the instructions for installing the anti-tip device.
• Engage the anti-tip device.
• Re-engage the anti-tip device if the range is moved.

All ranges must have an anti-tip device correctly installed as per the following instructions. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open oven door.
Instructions are provided for wood and concrete floors. Any other type of construction may require special installation techniques as deemed necessary to provide adequate fastening of the anti-tip bracket to the floor and wall. The use of this bracket does not preclude tipping of the range when not properly installed.

Wood substrate

  1. Place the bracket against the back wall, into the right rear corner where the range is to be located. Leave a 1/2″ (13mm) gap between the wall (or side of range) and the bracket, as shown.
  2. Drill 1/8″ diameter pilot holes in the center of the two small holes. A nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available.
  3. Fasten the bracket securely to the floor and wall.

Concrete or cement substrate

  1. Locate the bracket as shown.
  2. Using the bracket as a template, drill (x2) 5/16″ diameter pilot holes in the center of the larger holes to a depth of at least 1 3/4″.
  3. Place the sleeve anchors into the holes and use a hammer to tap them all the way in.
  4. Tighten the nuts on the sleeve anchors to fasten the bracket securely to the floor.

Once installed
Check for proper installation of the range and anti-tip bracket by grasping the back of the range and carefully attempting to tilt it forward.
