Topics:

• Where are the electrical and gas connections on the GR Series and R Series Gas Range?
• Is it necessary to follow the recommended electrical and gas locations specified in the installation guide?
• Can electrical and gas locations be moved?

Answer:

The electrical and gas locations specified in the product installation guide allow the unit to be installed without interference.

• Moving electrical and gas connections outside of the specified zones may cause the unit to not be properly installed.
• Always follow Wolf installation specifications.
• It may be necessary to recess the electrical box for the power cord. Wolf does not have instructions or recommendations for how to do this.
• Consult a local electrician and always follow local codes.

• Locate the electrical supply flush with the wall or floor, and within the shaded area shown in the product Installation Guide.
• A separate circuit, servicing only this appliance is required.
• A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause interruption of operation.
• The power cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounded outlet, grounded to conform with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code (CSA) and all local codes and ordinances.

• Locate the gas supply within the shaded area shown in the product Installation Guide.
• The range is equipped for use with natural or liquid propane (LP) gas. It is design certified by the Canadian Standards
  Association (CSA) for natural or LP gases.
  • The product rating plate has information on the type of gas that should be used. See also, Wolf Serial Tag Locations.
• The gas pressure regulator is built into the unit. 
• The range must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
• The supply line must be equipped with an approved external gas shut-off valve near the range in an accessible location. Do not block access to the shut-off valve.
  • A gas supply of 3/4" (19) ID line must be provided to the range.
  • R Series Range:
    • If local codes permit, a certified, 3' (0.9 m) long, 1/2" (13) or 3/4" (19) ID flexible metal appliance connector is recommended to connect the units 1/2" NPT female inlet to the gas supply line.
  • GR Series Range:
    • If local codes permit, a certified, 3' (0.9 m) long, 1/2" (13) or 3/4" (19) ID flexible metal appliance connector is recommended to connect the units 1/2" NPT male inlet to the gas supply line.    
    • Note: Page 5 of the installation guide advises unit has a 1/2" Female connection for the gas line; this is incorrect, the unit has a 1/2" threaded Male connector.
  • Use pipe joint compounds that are suitable for use with natural or LP gas.
• The appliance and its shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of .5 psi (3.5 kPa).
  • The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures equal to or less than .5 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Wolf GR series natural Gas Ranges will work up to 8,600' (2621 m) in altitude without adjustment.
  • If the installation exceeds this elevation, contact an authorized Wolf dealer for a high altitude conversion kit.
  • LP models do not require conversion.
• Wolf R series natural and LP Gas Ranges will work up to 10,250' (3124 m) in altitude without any adjustment.
  • If the installation exceeds this elevation, contact an authorized Wolf dealer for a high altitude conversion kit.
