For more information on Backguard installation, refer to the separate instructions provided with your blackguard. Backguard Installation Instructions can also be downloaded from our website, www.fisherpaykel.com

REQUIREMENTS

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

• 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 agencies before installing to ensure local requirements are met.
• Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of household air. The maximum speed should only be required when using the grill or SELF CLEAN.
• 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical supply must be a correctly polarized 120 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase circuit suitable for the maximum current draw of the model, as detailed in the table below. Verify your model’s current draw by checking the rating label on the back of the range. This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged into a mating grounding-type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120 VAC. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
The third prong should not, under ANY circumstances, be cut or removed.

• This range must be connected to the mains power supply by a suitably qualified person.
• This range must be grounded.
• Always disconnect electric supply cord from the wall outlet or service disconnect before servicing this appliance.
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding, in absence of which, observe National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70.

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, 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.

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL AND GAS SUPPLY LOCATION

UNPACKING THE RANGE

1. REMOVE TOE KICK
2. REMOVE DOORS
3. REMOVE FROM PALLET

INSTALLATION

TOE KICK INSTALLATION

1. Insert both foot covers into the toe kick ensuring the long hem edge is facing the inside of the product.
2. Align the toe kick with side panels of the range. Clip into place by rotating and pushing the bracket down over the range structure.
3. Check toe kick is flush with the range and secure using 2 screws.

LEVELLING THE RANGE

1. To expose both front feet, slide the interlocking foot covers out of the way. Turn feet to adjust the height.
2. 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 ‘Backguard options’ for all 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 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 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 Iit 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 leak.

INFRARED BROIL AND OVEN BAKE BURNERS

• 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 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 inlet.
• For warranty coverage, Fisher & Paykel requires that all burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. 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 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 inlet.
