Whirlpool Slide-In Electric Ranges Level Range, Install Rear Vent, Make Gas Connection

10.If installing the range in a mobile home, you must secure the range to the floor. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards in the “Location Requirements” section.

11.Continue installing your range using the following installation instructions.

Level Range

1.Place rack in oven.

2.Place level on rack and check levelness of the range, first side to side; then front to back.

Install Rear Vent

If you have a slide-in range, the rear vent must be installed.

Remove the outside screws from the rear trim on range. Use screws to attach rear vent to range.

Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Location

1.On models with a storage drawer, pull drawer open to first stop position. Lift front of drawer to clear white wheels in drawer guides. Remove drawer and set it aside on a covered surface.

On models with a warming drawer, the rear leg cannot be seen by removing the warming drawer. It will be necesary to view the rear foot from outside the range.

2.Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

■Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

■Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

3.If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip bracket.

On Ranges Equipped with Storage Drawers:

Use a wrench and pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

On Ranges Equipped with Warming Drawers:

Use pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking performance.

Make Gas Connection

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include:

licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Typical rigid pipe connection

A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location.

1.Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all pipe thread connections.
