SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
please read and follow these important safety
precautions.
1. Before any maintenance or repairs are performed, disconnect the appliance from the electric supply.
2. Your appliance should be installed by a qualified gas installation technician. Have the technician show you the exact location of the gas
shutoff valve on the incoming gas line so you
know how to turn off the gas if necessary.
3. In the event of a power failure, do not attempt
to operate the appliance or light any of the
burners. This is a gas fired appliance that employs electrical components such as the ignition
and safety devices.
4. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance unless specifically instructed to
do so by this manual. In-warranty service must
be performed by an authorized service agency.
5. Do not store flammable materials on or near the
appliance. Keep the appliance area clean and
free of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids. A check
before each use to determine that no hazardous
materials are in the area is recommended.
9. Additional care should be exercised if your
appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. During heavy or continued use this shelf may become hot. Do not place combustible materials
or plastics on this shelf.
10. Do not store items of interest to children
above the appliance. Children, as well as
adults, should never be allowed to sit, stand,
or climb on any part of the appliance. Serious
injury may occur.
11. Never leave the appliance unattended during
use. Boil-overs may occur, causing spills
which may ignite.
12. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. It is recommended you purchase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher for your home. Store it
in close proximity to your appliance.
13. If you are flaming liquor or other spirits, and
you appliance is installed under a vent hood,
TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft created
could cause the flames to spread out of control.
14. For your safety, never use your appliance or
any other cooking appliance as a space heater
to warm or heat the room.
6. The push-to-turn control knobs on this appliance are designed to be child-safe, however, not
a guarantee of operation. Children should not
be left alone or unattended in the kitchen while
the appliance is in use.
7. This appliance should not be operated without a
properly sized and operational ventilation hood.
15. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in steam
burns. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
burner areas. Do not use a towel or other
bulky material as a potholder.
16. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of
any pot or pan should be positioned so that it

SITE PREPARATION
• This appliance has been designed to be
installed directly against rear walls and
side base cabinets. It cannot be installed
directly against tall side cabinets, side
walls, tall appliances or base cabinets extending beyond 24 inches [610 mm].
• Side trims must be at least 11/16 inch
[17.5 mm] above the adjoining counter
top surfaces.
• Any openings in the back wall or the floor
of the installation site must be sealed.
• Each gas appliance shall be located with
respect to building construction and other
equipment to permit access to the appliance. Such access and clearance is necessary for cleaning and servicing.
• Due to its size and weight, a rolling lift
jack, air sled or pallet jack should be used
to move the appliance into position.
• Do not push against the edges or sides of
any appliance in an attempt to slide it into
position. Although all metal parts are de-
burred during the manufacturing process,
serious injury could occur if the appliance
were to move suddenly while being positioned. We recommend you use gloves
during the installation process.
• Do not use the louvered kick panel or
oven door handle to push or pull the appliance into position.
• For optimum performance the appliance
should be leveled during installation. A
carpenter type level should be placed on
the unit three ways: side to side; front to
back; diagonally.
• Appliances on bullet legs may be leveled
by screwing the various leg assemblies in
or out. If the appliance is installed in an
island or cabinet cut-out the edges should
be shimmed with small metal coupons.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
1. Check the package for damage. If any
damage is visible you should mark the bill
of lading you sign that there may be concealed damage.
2. Insure the container is upright. If the con-
tainer is not upright major damage can
occur to your appliance. If damage is discovered, do not refuse delivery. Contact
the dealer and file appropriate freight
claims. Save all packaging material. Do
not contact the manufacturer. Your appliance was shipped from the dealer you purchased it from. Shipping damage claims
are to be resolved between the customer,
shipping carrier and dealer. The manufacturer may assist in resolving any such
claims, but such assistance does not relieve you of your responsibility.
3. Move the container as close to its installa-
tion location as possible. This will reduce
moving and handling your appliance once
it is out of its shipping container.
4. Cut the straps holding the carton to the
palette. Lift the box directly up and off
the appliance. Do not use a hammer. Do
not cut the carton with a razor, utility or
box cutting knife.
5. Thoroughly inspect your appliance for
damage. If damage is discovered, do not
refuse delivery. Contact the dealer and
file appropriate freight claims. Save all
packaging material. Do not contact the
manufacturer. Your appliance was
shipped from the dealer you purchased it
from. Shipping damage claims are to be
resolved between the customer, shipping
carrier and dealer. The manufacturer may
assist in resolving any such claims, but
such assistance does not relieve you of
your responsibility.
6. Remove and unpack any accessories
shipped with your appliance. Make sure
no hardware or accessories are left to be
disposed of unintentionally.

INSTALLATION
BACKGUARD
All ranges require a backguard. Most models
have the option of using: an island trim; 6
inch standard; 17 inch hi-back; 21 inch high
shelf. Heritage Classic models require a 21
inch high shelf for all installations.
If you are using an island trim a six inch
clearance between the back of the range and a
combustible surface is required. If an island
trim is to be used without this six inch clearance the back wall must be non-combustible
and heat resistant material that extends below
the top surface of the range a minimum of six
inches.
All backguards follow the same basic installation. Using hardware supplied, align the
backguard with the wrap around on each side
and slip the tongue into place. A minimum of
six sheet metal screws (more depending on
width) are to be installed, three on each end
and more along the bottom edge.
Remove the two rear ring grate/top grates
from the cooktop surface. Four sheet metal
screws to be installed - down - into the cooktop support. Two screws are installed on each
end ring grate/top grate position. Replace the
removed grates.
If you are installing a high shelf there is an
additional channel to be installed on each side
first. The back guard then slips over this
channel as you put it into position. This channel provides extra support for the higher rise
of the 21 inch back.

INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTIONS
1. The installation of this appliance must
conform with all applicable local codes.
In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the latest level of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54. In Canada, the installation
must be in accordance with the current
CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2.
2. This appliance can be configured to work
with either natural gas or LP gas. Verify
that the appliance and the incoming gas
supply are compatible. Check the rating
plate.
3. The gas supply line must be the same size
or larger than the gas inlet of the appliance. Your appliance has either a ½”
NPT or ¾” NPT gas inlet connection. We
recommend the supply line be ¼” NPT
larger than the gas inlet of the appliance.
4. Sealant used on pipe joints must be resistant to LP gas.
5. An installer provided manual shut-off
valve must be installed in the gas supply
line ahead of the appliance. This shut-off
must be easily accessible in case of emergency.
6. All gas cooking equipment must have a
pressure regulator on the incoming service
line for safe and efficient operation. This
appliance is equipped with such a gas
pressure regulator. Incoming gas pressure
should be checked with a manometer.
The correct manifold pressure for natural
gas is 5.0” wc. For LP gas the correct
manifold pressure is 10” wc.
7. Incoming line pressure upstream of the
appliance should be 1.0” wc greater than
the operating manifold pressure. Service
pressure may fluctuate for a variety of reasons. Under no circumstances should the
factory installed regulator be removed or
by-passed.
8. The factory installed pressure regulator
will withstand an input pressure of ½ PSI
(12” wc). If the incoming pressure exceeds the maximum rating a step-down
regulator is required.
9. The appliance and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply line during any pressure testing in
excess of ½ PSI [3.5 kPa].
10. The appliance must be disconnected from
the gas supply by closing its individual
shut-off during any pressure testing less
than ½ PSI [3.5 kPa].
11. Check to see that all installer supplied
pipes and fittings are clear of debris,
threading chips or other foreign particles
before connecting the appliance to the
supply line. Such particles will clog orifices and/or valves when pressure is applied. Service to clean such clogs is not
covered by your warranty.
12. The incoming gas supply is brought from
the inlet pipe. This is the only connection
required via the installer-supplied shut-off
valve.
13. If the appliance is to be installed with
flexible couplings and/or a “quick disconnect” the installer must use a commercially approved AGA Design certified
flexible connector at least ½” NPT that
complies with ANSI Z21.41. In Canada
the connector must comply with CAN
16.10-88 and the “quick disconnect” device must comply with CAN 16.19M-79
and installed with a strain relief device.
14. Before putting the appliance into service
test all gas connections for leaks. Use a
soapy solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN
FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Such
a procedure is dangerous and it may not
detect all the small leaks that a soapy solution will.
15. Air shutter adjustments are preset at the
