Whirlpool WEG730H0DB Installationsanweisungen

■

Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the 
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result 
in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size 
can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers 
determine the size and materials used in the system.

NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas 
must be used. Do not use TEFLON

 tape.

■

If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft 
(122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., 
flexible metal appliance connector may be used for 
connecting range to the gas supply line. 

■

A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection 
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance 
pressure regulator.

■

Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when 
moving the range.

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.

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

Minimum pressure: 5" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

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

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 for testing regulator must be at least 
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on 
the model/serial rating plate.

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).

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).

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

Keep cardboard bottom under range. Do not dispose of 
anything until the installation is complete.

2. Remove oven racks and parts package from oven and 

shipping materials.

3. To remove cardboard bottom, first take 4 cardboard corners 

from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of 
another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them 
lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range 
when it is laid on its back.

4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay 

it on its back on the cardboard corners.

5. Remove cardboard bottom.

The leveling legs can be adjusted while the range is on its back. 
See the “Adjust Leveling Legs” section.

NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a 
sheet of cardboard or hardboard on the floor in front of range to 
protect the flooring. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up 
onto the cardboard or hardboard.
