GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
This product is equipped with a gas pressure regulator that
operates at a pressure of 5" of water column for operation with
natural gas or 10" of water column when converted for operation
with LP (propane).
The Freestanding Gas Range is preset for use with Natural Gas
and can be converted for use with Propane (LP) with the supplied
LP conversion kit. When using this range on LP gas, conversion
must be made by a qualied LP installer before attempting to
operate the range.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the
regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water column. For LP gas,
the pressure supplied to the regulator must be between 10" and 13" of
water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" more than the operating (manifold)
pressure as given above. The pressure regulator located at the inlet
of the range must remain in the supply line regardless of which type
of gas is being used. A exible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of
5
/8"
and a maximum length of 5'.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The power cord of this product 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 wall receptacle is to be connected to a
properly grounded dedicated circuit providing 120 VAC/60 Hz power
and protected by a 15- or 20-Amp circuit breaker or slow blow fuse.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact
a qualied electrician to have it replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong wall receptacle. Do not use an adapter plug. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord.

PLACING UNIT
IMPORTANT: All ranges are heavy. Sliding the range can damage
the oor. Use care when moving the range. Use a belt when moving
the range to prevent damaging the oor. Use cardboard, plywood
or stiff plastic to avoid damaging the oor while sliding the range.
Getting the unit properly placed in the installation space and level
may require multiple attempts. It is recommended to measure and
adjust leveling legs carefully before placing into the installation
space, as the leveling legs may be difcult to adjust once the range
is in its nal position.
TO PLACE UNIT
1
Use tape measure to measure from the oor to the top of the
counter top at all four corners of the installation space.
2
While range is still positioned outside the installation space,
adjust the leveling leg at each corner so that the distance from
the oor to the underside of the cooktop edge matches the
dimensions measured in the installation space.
3
Using two people, move range into its nal installation location,
being careful not to damage countertops, oor or appliance.
NOTE:
• Do not move unit by pushing or pulling on the door or control
panel. Do not lift by the cooktop edges or display panel. Push,
pull or lift only on the body or structural areas, such as oven,
oven face or back corners of range.
• Be careful not to pinch or kink the gas or electrical
connections. If unit does not move in smoothly, check for
obstructions. Do not attempt to force the unit into position.
• Dampening the countertop where the cooktop overhangs
with soapy water may allow the range to slide into position
more smoothly.
4
Ensure the back leg of the range has engaged properly into the
Anti-Tip Bracket. If visual inspection is not possible:
• Slide range forward.
• Conrm Anti-Tip Bracket is securely attached to oor or wall
in correct position according to installation instructions.
• Fully slide the range back against the wall so that leveling
leg engages with Anti-Tip Bracket.
5
To ensure baked goods, such as breads and cakes, come out
even and level, conrm that the range is level by placing on
the center rack position. Check level both front-to-back and
side-to-side. Use adjustable pliers to adjust leveling legs as
necessary to level the range. Turn clockwise to raise the unit
and counter-clockwise to lower.
IMPORTANT: The weight of the product is to be suppor ted by
the leveling legs. When adjusting leveling legs, do not adjust so
far that the weight of the product is supported by the cooktop
resting on the countertop. If countertops are not level, leveling
the range may cause one or more corners of the cooktop to not
contact the countertop surface. If this occurs, the range can be
installed unleveled to allow the cooktop to contact the entire
perimeter. Be advised that this may affect performance for
some baked goods. In these cases, foam tape rated for 194 °F
minimum can be placed around countertop edge to ll the gap
caused by leveling. Do not use caulking or other adhesives that
would bind the cooktop to the counter.
6
Reinstall door, drawer and oven racks.

CONFIRM OPERATION
After the range has been installed and assembled, gas supply lines
have been carefully checked for leaks and the electrical power cord
has been connected, conrm the operation of all cooktop burners.
To purge any air that may remain inside the range gas tubing, it is
recommended to conrm operation of the cooktop burners before
conrming operation of the oven.
TO CONFIRM COOKTOP OPERATION
1
For each burner, testing one at a time, rotate the knob to the Lite
position. Conrm that clicking is heard and visually observe
the electrode sparking properly to the burner cap.
2
Allow a few seconds for the burner to ignite and observe ame
quality. Light all surface burners and set to the highest setting.
• Soft blue ames indicate normal operation for natural gas.
• Blue ames with yellow tips on the outer cones indicate
normal operation for LP gas.
• Yellow ames indicate abnormal operation for any gas.
Call for service.
3
For each bu r ner, compare ame height at the highest and lowest
setting and conrm Lo heat is sufciently low for the size of
burner being tested.
4
For each burner, rotate the knob quickly to the lowest setting
and conrm the ame is not extinguished.
5
Turn off all but one burner. With one burner still at the lowest
setting, quickly open and close the oven door and conrm the
ame is not extinguished.
6
If burner ame is extinguished during any of the above tests,
or if ames are unacceptably large at the lowest setting, adjust
the low ame setting.
TO ADJUST LOW FLAME SETTING
1
Light all surface burners. Set all burners at the highest setting,
except the one being adjusted. Set the burner being adjusted to
the lowest setting.
2
Remove the knob by pulling rmly straight out.
3
Insert a small, at-blade screwdriver into the valve shaft. Fit
tip of screwdriver into small screw head at base of valve shaft.
See Figure 7.
FIGURE 7
4
Holding the valve shaft with one hand to prevent it from turning,
turn the screwdriver to adjust ame height (counter-clockwise
increases ow; clockwise decreases ow).
5
Repeat for any burners requiring calibration at the lowest setting.
6
When adjustment is complete, repeat the full burner operation
testing described above.
10
TO CONFIRM OVEN OPERATION
1
Ensure all packaging is removed and oven is empty except for
oven racks. Close oven door.
2
Touch Bake pad on the control panel. The default temperature
is 350 °F. Use the numeric keypad to adjust the temperature
setting to 170 °F. Touch START/ENTER pad.
3
Listen for a clicking sound from the spark igniter followed by
a whoosh sound of ignition.
If the oven does not ignite immediately, the spark igniter will
only activate for a few seconds. If this happens, the oven control
will turn off the gas ow to the burner, wait 10-15 seconds, and
re-attempt ignition. It will make a total of 3 attempts before
generating an error. The entire process should take less than
1 minute.
4
It is normal for the oven control to attempt igniting 2 or 3 times
immediately after the unit is rst installed due to residual air in
the gas lines inside the range. If the oven takes multiple attempts
to ignite, cancel the bake mode and restart to conrm the oven
ig nites on the rst attempt. Once all air has been purged from the
gas lines, the oven should ignite immediately on rst attempt. If
oven continues to require multiple attempts to ignite, contact a
qualied service provider for investigation and repairs.
5
Allow Bake mode to operate until the oven has preheated to
170 °F. Conrm the display indicates the temperature increasing
and signals when the temperature is reached. Touch STOP/
CLEAR pad to stop the Bake mode.
6
Touch Broil pad on the control panel. Touch START/
ENTER pad.
7
Listen for a clicking sound from the spark igniter followed by
a whoosh sound of ignition. If the broil burner does not ignite
immediately, see step 3 above.
8
Observe the broil ame quality through the oven door window.
If ames do not carry all the way around the broil burner, this
may indicate air in the gas lines. Allow the burners to operate
for 1–2 minutes to purge the lines of any remaining air.
9
Touch STOP/CLEAR pad to stop Broil mode. If anything
does not operate correctly or if broil ames appear abnormal,
call for service.

5. Verify Operation
Test if cooktop burner “low” setting requires adjustment, for each burner, perform the
following:
Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
Quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.
If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
Remove the surface burner control knob.
Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow
valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside.
Flame size can be increased or decreased by
turning the screw. Turn counterclockwise to
increase flame size. Turn clockwise to decrease
flame size. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn
knob from LITE to LOWEST POSITION without
extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small
as possible without going out.
Cooktop/Oven Burner Flame Appearance:
Flames should be mostly blue. Yellow tips on outer cone of flames is normal for
propane fuel.
Oven burners do not have an adjustable air shutter. If flames are oversized or overly
yellow, confirm correct orifices have been installed, house gas supply pressure is
correct, and cooktop manifold gas pressure is within specifications.
Check manifold gas pressure (if necessary): If it should be necessary to check the
manifold gas pressure, follow these steps:
Remove the burner cap from the right-rear burner.
Connect pressure gauge to right-rear orifice using rubber hose with inside diameter
~1/4”. Hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Light another cooktop burner and turn to a medium-low setting.
Turn right-rear burner valve on.
Confirm pressure reading is ~5” WC for NG or 10” WC for LP.
6. Label Unit for Conversion
Place the “LP Conversion Label for Rating Plate” beside the existing rating plate inside
the left side of the storage drawer.
Fill out the “LP Conversion Sign-Off Label for Rating Plate” and place it beside the
existing rating plate label.
