u
Proper Instal lation - Be sure your appliance is properly instal led and
grounded by a qualified technician.
The instal lation of your La Cornue appliance must conform with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, in the USA with the ”National Fuel Gas
Code”, ANSI Z223.1NFPA 54, latest edition, and, in Canada, with CAN/CGA
- B149.1, and CAN CGA - B149.2, ”Instal lation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances”.
The appliance must be electrical ly instal led and grounded in accordance with
local codes or in the absence of such codes with the latest edition of the
”National Electrical Code”, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the USA, and CSA C22.2
”Canadian Electrical Code” - in Canada.
Important - Save the instal lation instructions for the local electrical
inspector’s use.
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
This product must be instal led in compliance with CMR 248, the
Massachusetts Fuel Gas and Plumbing Code, by a licensed plumber or gas
fitter when instal led within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
A ”T” hand le type manual gas valve must be instal led in the gas supply line
to this appliance.
WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as alumi-
num foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper
instal lation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poiso-
ning and overheating of the oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with redu-
ced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowled-
ge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Al l our cooking appliances are intended for domestic use only; i.e., not profes-
sional. In the event of non-domestic use, the manufacturer shall not incur any
liability, and the warranty shal l be considered void.
USA & CANADA
In Case of Fire
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a cooktop bur-
ner by covering the pan completely with a wel l fitting lid or baking
tray. If available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
If fire is in an oven pan, smother by closing oven door. Open doors and
windows or if a hood is fitted turn it on to remove smoke and odor.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Before using the range make sure all the packing materials have been
removed. Always keep the area around the range free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
If the range is instal led near a window, proper precautions should be
taken to prevent curtains from blowing over the burners.
NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The hot air from an
oven vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in
closed containers, which may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type
spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics wil l burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep plastic
items away from parts of the range that may become warm or hot. Do
not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may burn, melt or soften
if left too close to a vent or a lighted burner.
Read al l instructions before using this appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.

u Important Safety Notice and Warning - The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can
cause death or serious il lness and which are known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can
result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including ben-
zene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion
of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
wil l minimize incomplete combustion.
Read al l instructions before using this appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.
Page 8
LA CORNUE
Installation Guide Centenaire
08NOTINSTAL100/USA-8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by properly venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion
make sure this appliance is instal led, operated, and maintained according
to the instructions in this booklet.
u Quality of Flames - On Natural Gas the burners’ flames should be a blueish
color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe. On Propane gas the flames
may be ”softer”. The cooktop burner flames may have a slight yel lowish
tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for service.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR UNITS, HEATING
ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Surface units and
heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to
cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units, areas near units, heating elements or inter-
ior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfa-
ce of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among these
surfaces are oven vent openings and surface near these openings, oven
doors, etc.
IMPORTANT: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the
fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory
system. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful.

In order to be able to install your range or cooktop as soon as it is delivered, you must ensure that in your
kitchen, the gas and electrical supplies are ready for it.
1.1. Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it
is installed. It is essential that the kitchen where the ”La Cornue” stove will be installed has excellent ven-
tilation to the outside, for vapor and combustion gases, and a fresh air inlet.
Do not use air recycling systems.
Ventilation exhaust devices can be vapor aspirators or hoods.
1.2. Clearances to combustible construction
The minimum horizontal distance from
sides of appliance to the adjacent vertical
combustible walls extending 18” (457
mm) above the top panel is 12” (305
mm).
The maximum depth of overhead cabinets
is 13” (330 mm).
The minimum horizontal distances
between overhead cabinets is not less then
the nominal width of the appliance (A).
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided.
Any element, either an extraction hood or
cabinet, situated directly above the range
must be made of non-combustible material
and placed at no less than 30” (760 mm)
above range.
The recommanded height is 36” (914
mm) above range.
May be installed with zero clearance between adjacent combustible construction below the cooking surface and the back
and sides of the appliance.
We recommend to leave 1/2” gap on each side in order to allow enaugh space for moving the range.
To be used in conjonction with a suitable ventilation hood.

Electrical - Gas supply INSTALLATION
Voltage: 240 V a.c., single-phase, 3 wire system, 50/60 Hz
Safety: The range, when instal led must be electrical ly grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI / NFPA 70 in the USA and the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, in Canada as appli-
cable.
Power: Check the power rating at your electric meter (maximal load) to ensure that it is suitable
for your model, taking into account all other electrical appliances installed on the same
circuit.
The tables in pages 14, 17, 20, 24, 28 and 32 show the necessary power and amp ratings for
each La Cornue model.
The power of the ”La Cornue” stoves, does not al low for a simple plug and socket connection;
the electrical connection must be made by means of an adequate flexible cord, built-in junction
box, with terminal blocks; the box is located about 12” (300 mm) from the floor, on the wall
behind the stove, on the right.
Use sealing compound on all pipe joints. Compound used must be resistant to the action of LP Gases.
The gas supply line to the appliance must be at least the same size as the gas inlet. An easily accessible
manual shutoff valve must be installed, keeping in mind the fact that on the appliance, the gas inlet is
located:
- On the left-hand side of the appliance, approximately 2
1/2
” (60 mm) from the edge.
- 24” (620 mm) above the floor (for the ranges).
NOTE:
Make sure that the supply line is clear of burrs and metal particles in order to avoid damage to the
gas controls once the gas is turned on. The pipe connections can then be made
When your ”La Cornue” appliance is installed between kitchen cabinets, the manual shutoff valve should
be accessible. We recommend it be located at the rear of an adjacent cabinet.
According to gas regulations, any opening in the wall or on the floor for gas supply of the appliance must
be properly sealed as well as any circulation of air between the gas supply room and the kitchen.
When all the work has been carried out on your gas supply network, ensure that no metallic burr can
enter the supply tube of the stove and block the burners. Then make sure that all gas connections are pro-
perly sealed. Refer to page 43 for initial test of the unit prior to turning the gas on. Refer to ”Important
Safety Information” section, on pages 1 - 8.
In order to ensure that the range is perfectly horizontal, especially in a kitchen with old paving or floo-
ring, we recommend that you install the stove on a wooden or cement base, the height of which will bring
the hot top to a level in accordance with its environment or your requirements.
We recommend a base of the exact size of the stove base.

The instal lation of your La Cornue appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, in the USA with the ”National Fuel Gas Code”, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition, and, in Canada,
with CAN/CGA - B149.1, and CAN CGA - B149.2, ”Instal lation Code for Gas Burning Appliances”.
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
This product must be instal led by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when instal led within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
A ”T” hand le type manual gas valve must be instal led in the gas supply line to this appliance.
All La Cornue ranges and cooktops are fully assembled and equipped for use with the type of gas shown
on the rating plate of the appliance.
If no special instructions were mentioned upon ordering, the stove is fitted with orifices for natural gas.
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas
pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
The range is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 5” of Water Column (1,24 kPa = 12,4 mbar) on
natural gas, or a manifold pressure of 11” of Water Column (2,74 kPa = 27,4 mbar) on LP gas (Propane).
3. GAS CONNECTION
Page 42
LA CORNUE
Installation Guide Centenaire
08NOTINSTAL100/USA-8

If the range is to be used on LP gas, a qualified LP installer must convert it. We recommend that the range
be converted before installation.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 6” and
10” of water column (1,49 and 2,49 kPa).
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 12”
and 13” of water column (3 and 3,24 kPa).
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1” (0,25 kPa) 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
½” and be 5 feet (1,5 m) in length for ease of installation.
The gas regulator on the appliance is set at the factory
for pressures given by regulations.
For the La Cornue ranges and hobs the regulator and the pressure tap can be found on the hob’s manifold
located by the 2 left gas burners
Connect the Range to the Gas Supply
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.
*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont
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.
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.
Use a product specifically manufactured for leak detection. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The burners on the stoves of the ”La Cornue” line are fitted with safety thermocouples: should a burner
extinguish, the gas supply to this burner is automatically cut off.
Upon initial test of unit
When first testing the gas operated burners, you may find they do not operate. This is normal, and
is caused by air in the gas lines. Simply, operate each burner starting with the top burners, until all
the air is displaced by the gas and ignition will result. This may take 1 to 5 minutes.
On first use, the electronic safety device of the gas oven may switch on (the red indicator light goes
on).
Please press the reset button (B) until air is also displaced in the oven and the flame goes on.

To turn on your ”baking stone”, follow these
instructions:
- Remove the socket cover at the back of the oven
meant to receive the ”baking stone” electric
element.
- Plug the heating element in its socket.
- Place the grill-tray on the second shelf-level,
then place the stone on the grill.
- Preheat the oven by turning the selector (E) on
the ”oven” position (to the left) and the thermostat
(F) to about 440°F (230°C). After 15 to 20 minutes
preheating, turn the selector to the right on the
”baking stone” position and begin to bake.
or
- Turn the selector (E) on the ”baking stone” position (on the right) and turn the thermostat (F) to the
desired temperature.
- After 10 to 15 minutes of pre-heating (depending on the desired temperature), you may begin to bake.
After use, turn thermostat to ”0”.
After cooking on the stone, let in cool down in the oven, then remove the stone and the heating element from
the oven and place the cover back on the socket at the back of the oven.
2.3. Electric broiler (gas or electric oven)
- The level of the broiler is controlled by the upper knob (D). The green indicator light goes on.
After use, turn knob to ”0”.
2.4. Gas oven with electronic ignition
Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the desired temperature setting. The green indicator light goes on.
The electronic control provides a fully automatic thermostatic temperature control. During this
process, it is normal that the flame will be totally shut on and off.
After use, turn thermostat to ”0”.

OPERATION Cooktop
Note: The red light (C) at the bottom of the control panel
indicates a problem in the ignition process. Whenever it goes
on, please check that gas is flowing into the appliance, reset by
pressing the ”B” button.
2.5. The oven dishes
There are several different trays in your oven:
The large tray or the pastry tray with an enamelled coating.
This is intended exclusively for pastry-making or for ingre-
dients to be grilled under the gas or electric oven grill.
The large size of this tray means that it can be used as a
cooking tray itself but is generally used for very large pieces of
meat. You should not use it to cook poultry or small roast.
The large roasting rack allows for the following:
- to place a roast in a terra cotta dish to sit on the roasting rack
in the large tray. Therefore, by using this system one makes
the most of the natural air convection, allowing for
the air flow to travel round and under the food.
- to place to roast directly onto the roasting rack in
the large tray. The roast will remain seasoned as well
as remaining medium rare or rare if you desire.
By using the ”spit” concept, the hot air envelopes the
entire piece of meat regardless of its size.
The ”shelf” tray acts as a support for all trays
which are used in this oven.
The large roasting dish in porcelain (one dish per
stove).
2.6. Instal lation of the ”shelf” tray
The sliders of the oven and the ”shelf” tray are supplied with stops in order to avoid taking away the shelves
inadvertently; these shelves can be removed and replaced easily.
Setting up of the ”shelf” tray
Before using your oven in complete safety, you must set up
correctly the shelves trays. To position the shelf tray at the
requested height, put it above the lateral oven slider (stops
at the back). Then push the tray to the very back of the
oven until the stops are positioned behind the sliders.
Pull the shelf tray until the back of the tray is blocked by
the stops of the lateral oven sliders.
Taking away the ”shelf” tray
Push the shelf tray which is on the sliders to the back of the oven; lift the back of the tray so the stops are
positioned above the sliders, then pull the tray towards you.

Important Information MAINTENANCE
3.1. Open tops, hot tops, open top broiler or gridd le with electronic ignition
To ignite the gas burner: press the control knob and rotate it counter clockwise,
to the ”big flame” position. The gas at the burner ignites automatically. Keep the
knob pressed in for 5 to 10 seconds, or longer if necessary (up to 30 seconds on
new equipment).
The sparking noise means that the ignition system is operating normally.
- Low setting: this is achieved by rotating the knob fully counter clockwise
(small flame).
- Shutoff: bring the knob back to its vertical position by rotating it to the right.
3.2. Round electric plates
Depending on models, your cooking appliance may be equipped with an element
with 2 round electric plates with a diameter of 18 cms for one and 20 cms for the other.
The round electric plates are made out of cast iron and are controlled by the knob
located on the front of the cooktop.
Their total electrical output is 4,000 Watts (13,600 BTU’s).
The knob have 3 marked positions ranging from warm (number 1) to very hot (number 3).
The largest of the two plates is the most powerful and is the one we suggest using
when cooking with large pans.
This section applies only for authorized service personnel recommended by
your dealer

MAINTENANCE Adjustments
Open top, hot top, open top broiler or gridd le
Only the low settings for the burners of the open tops, hot top, open top broiler or griddle can be adjusted
by means of the following procedure:
1. Turn gasburner on and set to lowest setting (small flame).
2. Remove the control knobs (A) and knob bezel by
unscrewing the allen screw to access the by-pass screw.
3. Rotate the by-pass screw on the valve body to the left to
increase the flow rate, to the right to reduce it.
Only for natural gas reduced flow rate can be adjusted.
For the propane gas tighten the screw down.
Make sure that the resulting flame, at the lowest setting, is
sufficiently strong to heat the thermocouple.
4. Place back control knob bezel and control knob and proceed with testing.
Caution:
Make sure that there is a sufficient gap between the knobs and the
front panel, since it is necessary to ful ly depress the knob before rotating it
when igniting the burners.
Caution: Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply to the appliance prior to
disconnecting the electrical power.
The orifices size depends on the type of gas. The table below is provided for you to determine which orifice
should be used if the type of gas is changed.

Fuel conversion MAINTENANCE
The location of the orifices for the various gas burners differ (see photographs below).
Note: Gas pressure regulator setting must also be adjusted when changing fuel type.
Orifices of gas burner and hotplate are replaced by means of this sequence:
1. Remove the brisk heat grill, then the pan.
2. Remove the cap of the burner.
3. Unscrew the orifice from the top using a standard 7 mm box spanner. Install the new orifice and
screw it down completely.
4. Place the cap of the burner taking care to place it correctly on the body of the burner.
5. Place the pan, then the grill or the fire plate.
The orifices for gas oven, open top broiler or griddle are always replaced in the following sequence:
1. Screw the adjusting cone (2) and insert it into the mixing tube in order to free sufficient space
for unscrewing the orifice.
2. Unscrew the orifice (1) with a 7 mm flat wrench.
3. Install the orifice (1) corresponding to the new type of gas and tighten it.
4. Ignite the burner and adjust the air inlet by screwing or unscrewing the adjusting cone (2) until
you obtain a slightly blue flame showing no separation; separation of the flame is an indication that
there is too much air.
5. Then block the adjusting cone (2) with the blocking washer (3).
Once you have changed the injectors, it is a good idea to adjust the low settings for the hob burners (see
Section 1).
