GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualifi ed installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualifi ed gas range installer or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifi cally recommended in this guide.
Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a qualifi ed technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, the cooktop or control panel. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fi re or cuts may occur.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Do not store items of interest to children above a range or on the backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary.
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do
not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent ignition of these materials.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grates, or oven heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the range. Potentially hot surfaces include burners, grates, cooktop, backguard, oven and door interior and crevices around the oven door.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly - meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING - FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
Do not store or use fl ammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items in cabinets above the range and be careful when reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other fl ammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or fi lter.
WARNING - IN CASE OF FIRE
In the event of a fi re, never pick up a fl aming pot or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so. Extinguish the fi re with a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not use water on grease fi res. Water will spread the grease and will not extinguish the fi re. Smother the fi re with a tight fi tting pot lid, cookie sheet or fl at tray or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
If there is a fi re in the oven during baking, smother the fi re by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the range unattended while a surface burner is ON. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fi re that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fi re that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fi re, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner fl ames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive fl ames may be hazardous.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
When using glass or ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden changes in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of fl ammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
When preparing fl aming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop if your range has sealed surface burners. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fi re.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fi re hazard.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover and entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fi re hazard.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Keep the oven free from grease build-up. Grease in the oven may ignite.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot heating element in the oven.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140°F. Do not put cold food in the warming drawer. Do not keep food in the warming drawer for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/ or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and potentially cause a fi re hazard.
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent which is in the center of the backguard. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fi re or burns.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL THE RANGE
1. Provide adequate gas supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5” of water column on natural gas or, if desired 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 qualifi ed 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 6” and 13” of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 11” and 13” of water column.
INSTALL THE RANGE
2. Connect the range to gas
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting 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 appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certifi ed fl exible 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 Tefl on around all male (external) pipe threads.
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 must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A fl exible 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, fl exible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
Installation steps:
1. 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.
2. Install male 1/2” fl are union adapter to the 1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fi tting to avoid damage. When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
3. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” fl are union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
4. Connect fl exible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5. 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.

For LP gas: The fl ame should have approximately
1-inch blue cones. After 30 seconds of burner operation, check for fl ames lifting off the burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce the air shutter opening until fl ames are stabilized. Some yellow tipping may be normal for LP gas.
The oven burner fl ame can be checked as follows (without burner baffl e in place):
• To correct a yellow fl ame, increase size of air shutter opening.
• To correct a lifting, but distinct, blue fl ame, decrease size of air shutter opening.
The air shutter should be set approximately 2/3 open for natural gas, and approximately full open for LP gas.
