Whirlpool W10196160D Unpack Range, Gas Pressure Regulator, Burner Input Requirements

Rigid pipe connection:

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

■Must include a shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

Natural gas:

Minimum pressure: 5" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

LP gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least

1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.Remove shipping materials, tape and film from range.

2.Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.

3.Do not remove the shipping base at this time.

4.On Ranges Equipped with Storage Drawers:

Remove the storage drawer, see “Storage Drawer” section for more information. Use a ¼" drive ratchet to lower the rear leveling legs one-half turn. Use a wrench or pliers to lower front leveling legs one-half turn.

On Ranges Equipped with Warming Drawers:

On ranges equipped with a warming drawer, the rear legs cannot be accessed by removing the warming drawer. It will be necessary to adjust the rear legs from outside the range.

Use wrench or pliers to lower the front and rear leveling legs one-half turn.
