when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for
Manufactured Home Installation, ANSI Z225.1/NFPA
501 A-latest edition, or with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH, or with

local codes.
This range has been design certified by CSA

international. As with any appliance using gas and
generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you

should follow. You will find them in the Use and Care
Guide, read it carefully.

* Be sure your range is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

* This range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrkal Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--latest edition in the United States or with CSA

standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I in
Canada

* Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand the heat generated by the range.

* Before installing the range in an area covered

with linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can

withstand heat at least 90°F/32°C above room
temperature without shrinking, warping or

discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4" (6.4
mm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

* Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the

oven vent nor around the base or beneath the
lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the

vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may become
hot while the oven is in operation. This range requires
fresh air for proper burner combustion.

Never cover any slots, holes or passages

in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials

such asalminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through
the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire

hazard.

Never leave children alone or

unattended in the area where an appliance is in use.
As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all
appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the
range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the

door of this range can result in serious injuries and
can also cause damage to the range.

* Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously
burned climbing on the range to reach items.

* To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

units, cabinet storage space above the units
should be avoided.

* Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessiveflame is hazardous.

* Do not use the oven as a storage space. This

creates a potentially hazardous situation.

* Never use your range for warming or heating the

room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.

* Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

* In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head and rapidly turn the

Surface Control knob to Med. Usecaution when

Gas Supply Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa) Natural

gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected

in series with the gas supply line. The gas connector is
located as shown on figure 1. It is accessiblefrom front of

the range.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to

the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).

The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25
kPa)greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting.

The regulator isset for 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must
be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column (1.25 kPa) Natural

gas. For LP/Propanegas, the regulator must be set for

10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa)manifold pressure;
the inlet pressure must be at least 11 "(27,9 cm) water
column (2.75 kPa).

The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 3 & 4). This valve should be

located in the same room asthe range and should be in a
location that allows easeof opening and closing. Do not

block accessto the shutoff valve. The valve isfor turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Open the shutoff

valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to
move through the gas line.

The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the
regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./
C.G.A.-approved flexible metallic union-connected piping
where local codes permit use.

The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the
right cabinet. The right side cabinet isan ideal location for
the main shutoff valve, if the range is installed within
cabinet storage space

Connection to Pressure Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.

Do not make the connection too tight.

The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

1. Manual shut-off valve (not supplied)

2. Flexible connector (not supplied)

3. 1/2" 90° Elbow Connector (not supplied)

4. Gas "T" connector (supplied)

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible

connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved

manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the
same room as the range and should be in a location that

allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access
to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.

Check for leaks, After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If

a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and
use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all

joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be

indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or

joints.

The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be

1/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
The user must know the location of the main shutoff

valve and have easy access to it.
When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow

sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.

NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched
between the wall and the range.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame

may result in a fire or explosion.

All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be

installed must be sealed.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas

leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff

valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater

than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35,56 cm) water column).

Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or

14"(35,56 cm) water column).

B Moving the Appliance

for

Servicing and Cleaning

Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main

power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve.
Make sure the range iscold. Open the oven door. Lift the
range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening

without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit.

Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back
of the range when replacing the unit into the cut-out
opening. Closethe door and switch on the electrical power
and gas to the range.

If range will be installed with a cabinet on both
sides, draw a center line on the floor between the

cabinets (see figure 5). If back of range will not be
flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not
allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw
a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will
be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket
Installation", page 8).

If range will be installed with a cabinet on one side
only, move the range into final position. Draw a line on
the floor along the side of the range that is not against
the cabinet. If back of range will not be flush with
the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the
range to be positioned against the wall), draw a line on
the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Now
install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket
Installation", page 8).

If range will not be installed against a cabinet,
move range into final position. Draw a line on the floor
along both sides of the range. If back of range will not
be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may
not allow the range to be positioned against the wall),
draw a line on the floor where the back edge of the
range will be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip
Bracket Installation", page 8).

Range Placement

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from

reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the range should be avoided. If

cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installinc a range hood that projects

horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinet.

3. Check the Igniters

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after

range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks and range has been connected to
electric power. To check for proper lighting:

a. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE

position. All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.

b.The surface burner should light once the flow of gas

reached the surface burner. Each burner should light
within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air

has been purged from supply lines. Visually check that

burner has lit.

c. Once the burner lights, the control knob should be

rotated out of the LITEposition.

There are separate ignition devicesfor each burner. Try each

knob separately until all burner valves have been checked.
