WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The Cafifomia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifomia

to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,

and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas

LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if

necessary.

_::Hax> your rang_ installed and properly

grounded by a qualified insmllet; in

accordance with the Installation

Instructions. Any adjusunent and

service should be perfot_ned only by

mchnicians.

;f?:':Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your rang_ unless it is

specifically recommended in this

manual. All other service should be

refen-ed to a qualified mchnician.

_: Plug your rang_ into a 120_\olt

grounded outlet only. Do not remove

the round grounding prong flom the

plug. If in doubt about file grounding

of fl)e home electrical system, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation

to have an ungrounded outlet replaced

with a properly grounded, three-prong

outlet in accordance with fl)e National

Elecuical Code. Do not use an

bottoms large enough to cover bumer grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large

enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous

accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spiflovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with

handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool

FLOORINGUNDERTHERANGE

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any open&gs & the floor or wall

behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply

fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

_bur range, like many odmr household imms,

is hea_y and can setde into soft floor coverings

such as cushioned _iW1 or carpeting. Use

care when moving the range on this t).])e of

flooring. It is recommended that the following

simple and inexpensive instructions be

followed m promct your floor:

The mnge should be installed on a sheet of

pl)._vood (or similar material). "_lmn the floor

covering ends at dm fiont of the range, the

area flint the range will rest on should be built

up with pl}_vood m the same level or higher

than the floor co_ering.

This will allow the range to be moved for

cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your

floor covering will withstand 180°E (See the

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow

these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Yourrange has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to

drain away from the food.

Both the oven door and broiler compartment drawer should be closed during broiling.

-AWARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could

result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the

range, install the Anti-Tip device

packed with this range. (See Install

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 any reason, make sure the

Anti-Tip device is engaged when

you push the range back against

the wall.

• For your safety, never use your range for

warming or heating the room. Your oven

and cooktop are not designed to heat

your kitchen. Top burners should not be

operated without cookware on the grate.

Such abuse could result in fire and damage

to your range and will void your warranty.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or

near the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be

subject to strong drafts. Any openings in

the floor or wall behind the range should

be sealed. Make sure the openings around

the base of the range that supply fresh air

for combustion and ventilation are not

obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household

items, is heavy and can settle into soft

floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or

carpeting. Use care when moving the range

on this type of flooring. It is recommended

that the following simple and inexpensive

instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of

plywood (or similar material). When the floor

covering ends at the front of the range, the

area that the range will rest on should be

built up with plywood to the same level or

higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for

cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your

floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the

Installation Safety Instructions section.)

Make sure the wall coverings around your

range can withstand the heat generated (up

to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation

Safety Instructions section.)

MODELAND SERIALNUMBERLOCATION

You can find them on a label under the

cooktop. See the Lift-Up Cooktop section in

this manual or instructions on how to lift the

cooktop.

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure

the burners are properly seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop and remove any packing

material under it.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven

and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have

come loose during shipping.

Installation instructions

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE

GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a

pressure of 4" of water column on natural

gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or

butane), 10" of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your range

with the type of gas for which it is

designed.

This range is convertible for use on

natural or propane gas. If you decide

to use this range on LP gas, conversion

must be made by a qualified LP installer

before attempting to operate the range

on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of

natural gas supplied to the regulator must

be between 4" and 13" of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must

be between 10" and 13" of water column.

When checking for proper operation of

the regulator, the inlet pressure must be

at least 1" greater than the operating

(manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the

inlet of the range manifold must remain

in the supply line regardless of whether

natural or LP gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used

to connect the range to the gas supply

line should have an I.D. of 1/2" and be

5 feet in length for ease of installation.

In Canada, flexible connectors must be

single wall metal connectors no longer

than 6 feet in length.

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve

before disconnecting the old range and

leave it off until the new hookup has

been completed. Don't forget to relight

the pilot on other gas appliances when

you turn the gas back on,

Because hard piping restricts movement of

the range, the use of a CSA International-

certified flexible metal appliance connector

is recommended unless local codes

require a hard-piped connection.

[]

Never use an old connector when

installing a new range. If the hard piping

method is used, you must carefully align

the pipe; the range cannot be moved

after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint

compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape

with Teflon* around, all male (external

pipe threads.

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in

the gas line in an easily accessed location

outside of the range. Make sure everyone

operating the range knows where and how

to shut off the gas supply to the range.

Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to

the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of

regulator. Use a backup wrench on the

regulator fitting to avoid damage.

Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter

to the NPT internal thread of the manual

shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the

shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

Connect flexible metal appliance

connector to the adapter on the range.

Position range to permit connection at

the shut-off valve.

When all connections have been made,

make sure all range controls are in the

off position and turn on the main gas

supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector

at all joints and connections to check for

leaks in the system.

WARNING - DoNoTUSEAFLAME

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than

1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply

system of the residence, disconnect the

range and individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply piping. When using test

pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the

gas supply system, simply isolate the

range from the gas supply system by

closing the individual shut-off valve.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

(on electric ignition models)

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded

dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or

20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards

associated with certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against the use of an

extension cord. However, if you still elect

to use an extension cord, it is absolutely

necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire

grounding-type appliance extension cord

and that the current carrying rating of the

cord in amperes be equivalent to, or

greater than, the branch circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS

APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY

GROUNDED.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is

equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug

which mates with a standard 3-prong

grounding wall receptacle to minimize the

possibility of electric shock hazard from

this appliance.

The customer should have the wall

receptacle and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle

is encountered, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the

customer to have it replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)

PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

[] SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the

range and in the floor under the range

when hookups are completed.

[] LIGHT THE PILOTS

(For models equipped with standing

pilots. If the range is an electric ignition

model, the burners are ignited by electric

ignition which eliminates the need for

standing pilot lights.)

The range should be installed in its

permanent position before any pilots

are lit or adjusted.

CAUTION - Make sure the surface

burner control knobs are in the OFF position

before attempting to light the pilots.

[] Light the Surface Burner Pilots

1. Lift the cooktop up and prop it open

with the prop rod provided (see the

Care and cleaning of the range

section).

2. Locate the 2 pilot ports and light each

of them with a match.

[] IF THE RANGE HAS ELECTRIC

IGNITION

There are separate ignition devices for

the left and right hand surface burners.

Both of these ignitors are ON when any

knob is turned to the UTE setting. The

ignitors will spark as long as any of the

top burner knobs are at the UTE setting.

In the event of an electrical power

failure, the top burners can still be used.

To light a burner, hold a lit kitchen match

adjacent to the top burner to be used and

turn valve knob to UTE. USE EXTREME

CAUTION.
