WHIRLPOOL WFG720H0A (01) PDF MANUAL

Natural Gas:

This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. The model/serial/rating plate is located on the oven frame behind the top right side of the oven door and has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.

Provide a gas supply line of 3/4″ (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2″ (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, 1/2″ (1.3 cm) or 3/4″ (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

A 1/2″ (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.

Yes, 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 in an adjacent cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range be provided.

* Range can be raised approximately 1″ (2.5 cm) by adjusting the leveling legs.

** Front of door and drawer may extend further forward depending on styling.

Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25″ (64.0 cm) countertop depth, 24″ (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and 36″ (91.4 cm) countertop height.

30″ (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking platform and the bottom of an uncovered wood or metal cabinet.

If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the range, follow the range hood or microwave hoods combination instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

A freestanding range may be installed next to combustible walls with zero clearance.

IMPORTANT: Range must be level after installation. Follow the instructions in the “Level Range” section. Using the cooktop as a reference for leveling the range is not recommended.

The range can be raised approximately 1″ (2.5 cm) by adjusting the leveling legs.
