Hotpoint RGB506 installation instructions Preparation, Provide Adequate Gas Supply

PREPARATION

• Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the cooktop and remove any packing material under it. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

• Remove plastic film that covers some chrome parts (around oven door, side trim).

• Take the accessory pack out of the oven.

• Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

1 PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4″ of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10″ of water column. Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to use this range on a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other qualified person before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14″ of water column pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1″ greater than regulator manifold pressure. Examples: If regulator is set for Natural gas 4″ manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5″; if regulator has been converted for LP gas 10″ manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11.″

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold MUST remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ or 3/4″ and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range after gas supply line is installed.
