ANTI-TIP DEVICE
All ranges can tip and injury could
result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the
wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in
this section.) To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, carefully
tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range from
tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for
may reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when you push the rmige back
agMnst the wall.
• For w)ur safety, never use your range flir warining
or heating tile rooln. Your oven and cooktop are
not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burnei_
should not be oi)erated without cookware on tile
grate. Such abuse could result ill fire and daulage
to your range and will void wmr warranty.
• Do not store or use colnbustible inatelials,
gasoline or other flaniniable wq)ors and liquids
ill tile vicinity of this or any other ai)pliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
• Do not rise ()veil tor a storage area. Items stored in
tile oven can ignite.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flaumlable
ulaterials accuululate in or near the range.
LOCATION
Do not locate the rmage where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the rm_ge should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion m_d ventilation axe not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like nlany other household itelns, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when inoving
tile range on this type of flooring. It is recoumlended
that the following siulple and inexpensive insti uctions
be followed to protect your floor.
Tile range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or siulilar niaterial). When the floor covering ends at
the fl'ont of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with pl)_vood to tile sanie level
or higher than tile floor covering.
This will allow tile range to be uloved tk)i" cleaning
or servicing. Mso, ulake sure your floor covering will
withstand I80°F. (See tile Installation SafetyInstructions
section.)
Make sure tile wall coverings around your range can
withstand tile heat generated (up to 200°F) by tile
ran ,e (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS
SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propm_e or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure vou are supplying your range with tile type
of gas tot which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If wm decide to use this range on I,P gas,
convei_ion must be made by a qualified I,P installer
before attelnpting to operate tile range on that gas.
For proper operation, tile pressure of natural gas
supplied to tile regulator inust be between 5" and 13"
of water cohunn.
For I,P gas, tile pressure supplied umst be between 10"
and l 3" of water colmnn.
When checking fl)r proper operation of tile regulatm,
tile inlet pressure ulust be at least 1" greater than tile
operating (nmnifl_ld) pressm'e as given above.
Tile pressure regulator located at tile inlet of tile range
manifold must remain ill tile supply lille regardless of
whether natural or I,P gas is being used.
A flexible tnetal appliance connector used to connect
tile range to tile gas supply line should have an I.D. of
1/9" and be 5 feet in length tor ease of installation. In
Canada, flexible connectors Illtlst be single wall inetal
connectors no hmger than 6 teet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before discmmecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on
other gas applimaces when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts nmvement of tile range,
tile use of a CSA International-certified flexible inetal
appliance connector is recolulnended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If tile hard piping method is used, you must
careflllly align tile pipe; tile range cannot be inoved
after the connection is inade.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compomld on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon':: around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A. Install a inanual gas lille shut-off valve ill tile gas lille
ill an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating tile range knows
where and how to shut off tile gas supply to tile
range.
B°
Install male l/2" flare union adapter to tile 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a
backup wrench on tile regulator fitting to avoid
danmge.
When installing tile range fl'om tile fl'ont, remove
the 90 ° elbow fi_r easier installation.
C°
D°
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to tile
NPT internal thread of tile lnanual shut-off valve,
taking care to back-up tile shut-off valve to kee I) it

Connect flexible tnetal ai)pliance connector to tile
adapter on tile range. Position range to l)erlnit
connection at the shut-off wflve,
E. When all connections have been inade, inake sure
all range controls are ill tile off position and turn on
the main gas supply wdve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check fi_r leaks ill the
s_istei//.
WARNING: no NOTUSEA
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressm'es greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test tile gas supply s)_steln of tile residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off wdve froln
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2

Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential satiety hazards associated
with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. Howevei, if you still elect
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a /JIAisted, 3-wire groui_ding-type appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying rating of
the cord in alnperes be equivalent to, or greater than,
tile circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
PreferredMethod
Ensureproper ground
exists before use
Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (groui_ding) plug which inates with a
standard three-prong groui_ding wall receptacle to
minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to inake sure
tile receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
ei_countered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the custonler to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI's - GFCI's are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and
autolnatically switch off power when a threshold
leakage level is detected. These devices in ust be
inalmally reset by the coi_sulner. The National Electrical
Code requires the use of GFCI's in kitchen receptacles
installed to serve countertop surfilces. Perfi)rlnance of
tile range will not be alti_cted if operated on a GFCI-
protected circuit but occasional ntlisance tripping of
the GFCI breaker is possible.
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-alnp circuit. Where
local codes perlnit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION
inay be inade to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle b)' tile rise of a UL-listed adapter, awfilable
at most hardware stores. Tile larger slot in tile adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity in tile
COlmection of the power cord.
TemporaryMethod
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Align large prongs/slots
Ensureproper
ground and firm
connection before
use
CAUTION: Att ,chingtheadapter
ground termilml to tile wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliai_ce unless
the cover screw is inetal, and not insulated,
and the wall receptacle is grounded through
tile house wiring. Tile custolner should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to inake sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
When discolmecting tile power cord fl'om tile adaptei;
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, tile adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use. Should this happelL DO
NOT USE tile appliance tmtil a proper gro/md

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter phtg in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual taihu'e of the adapter
ground terminal, The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grotmding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
heft)re using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed fin" mobile
