CABINET PREPARATION

1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in the

following diagrams are required. The same clearances apply to island installations.

2. The range can be placed in various positions with respect to the cabinet front, with the front frame either flush

or projecting, depending on the countertop depth.

3. The electrical and gas supply should be within the zones shown in the following diagrams.

4. A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line

external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts

such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) The shut-off

valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 metres) of the appliance it serves.

Important!

Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shut-off valve in a location readily accessible by the customer,

so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency situation. However, the appliance must not be

modified in any way to accommodate such placement.

5. The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13”.

6. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.

7. When there is less than a 12” clearance between combustible material and the back edge of the range (above

the cooking surface), a DCS Standard backguard or Full backguard must be installed. When clearance to

combustible material is over 12” no backguard is necessary. RGU and RGUC models are supplied with a

matching BGRU2-15xx standard backguard. For RDU models, the backguard must be ordered separately, (see

section ‘Planning the installation’). See Fig. 13 for an illustration of all the installation options.

8. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors

and liquids.

9. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the unit.

10. The horizontal surfaces of the range top (cooktop) trim must not be below countertop level.
