LINE PRESSURE TESTING

a. Testing ABOVE % Pound Per Square Inch [Gauge]

The appliance and its Individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system dur- ing any pressure testing of that system at test pres- sures in excess of ‘12 psig.

b. Testing AT ‘12 Pound Per Square Inch (Gauge)

OR LOWER

The appliance must be Isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing Its individual manual shutoff valve during pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than ‘12 psig.

To convert from NATURAL to LP gas.

a. Change pressure regulator setting from NATURAL to LP [See To Convert Pressure Regulator.)

b. Screw the burner orifices hoods down tight against the ortflce pins. DO NOT OVER TORQUE.

c. Remove the oven control knob and the porcelain panel

and turn the select-a-gas screw to the LP position. This screw IS located on the oven control [thermostat). The mid position turns the oven pilot off.

d. Top burner pilots [for models with pilot ignition only)

adjust top burner pilot to be approximately %-Inch

high. This adjustment IS on the oven control on some models and on the manifold pipe on some models.

e. UPPER OVEN PILOT ADJUSTMENT: Turn Select-a- gas adjuster screw as outlined for the lower oven pilot.

f. Adjust the burner air shutter to the widest opentng that will not cause the flame to lift or blow off of the burner.

To convert the pressure regulator. Note: The type of gas

for which the regulator is set IS stamped on the aluml- num plug on the top of the regulator (either NAT. or LPI.

To change the regulator setting:

Remove the alumlnunl hex nut (plug1 with a wrench orcoln. Turn the hex nut or plug over and screw It back Into the

regulator. Cautton: Do not over tighten.

If the range IS to be used on a NATURAL gas, NAT should be visible on the regulator plug. If the range is to be used

on LP gas, LP should be vlslble on the regulator plug.

OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES

ELECTRICAL REOUIREMENTS

A 1 15 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 Ampere fused electrical sup- ply is required [time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom-

mended]. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. DO NOT use an extension cord.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING

METHOD

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

00 NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply supply cord have a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged Into a mating 3-prong

grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-I 961 l l

and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is

not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of

the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall

receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1.

Range specifications

Whirlpool has long been a trusted name in home appliances, and its range of cooktops is no exception. Whether you're preparing a family meal or hosting a dinner party, a Whirlpool range combines practicality and advanced technology to enhance your cooking experience.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool ranges is their versatility. Many models offer a combination of gas and electric cooking options, allowing users to choose how they want to prepare their meals. The Gas Burners deliver precise heat control, enabling chefs to achieve the perfect simmer or rapid boiling, while the electric ovens provide even baking and roasting results.

The True Convection technology is another significant feature that sets Whirlpool ranges apart. This system uses a fan and an additional heating element to circulate hot air throughout the oven, ensuring food is cooked evenly on every rack. This is particularly beneficial for multi-layered baking or when cooking multiple dishes at once.

Whirlpool also addresses the need for convenience in the kitchen with features like the Fast Preheat setting that allows the oven to reach the desired temperature in a fraction of the time. Programmable controls, including touch-screen interfaces on select models, make it easy to set cooking times and temperatures accurately.

Cleaning is often a concern with ranges, but Whirlpool incorporates innovative technologies such as the self-cleaning oven feature. This technology uses high temperatures to burn off food residues, leaving behind only ash that can be easily wiped away. Additionally, many models have a fingerprint-resistant finish, keeping the surface clear of smudges and making maintenance a breeze.

Safety is another critical characteristic of Whirlpool ranges. Many units feature a control lock that prevents accidental operation and ensures peace of mind in households with children.

Moreover, Whirlpool's commitment to energy efficiency is evident in their range designs. They integrate eco-friendly appliances that minimize energy consumption, helping families save on utility bills while reducing their environmental impact.

In summary, Whirlpool ranges incorporate various features and technologies designed to enhance cooking performance, convenience, and safety. With options that cater to both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs, Whirlpool continues to deliver high-quality kitchen solutions that meet the diverse needs of modern households.
