or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel

Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA No.54.
When installing in a manufactured (mobile) home,

installation must conform with Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, title 24CFR, part

3280 [Formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or,
when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installation, ANSI Z225.1/NFPA
501A-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 Electrical 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 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. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.

Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils
before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess
spillage. Follow the cleaning instructions in the Use &

Care Guide.
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP

IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the
cooktop.

Special/nstructions for appliances installed in the State

of Massachusetts: This appliance can only be installed
in the State of Massachusetts by a Massachusetts
licensed plumber or gas fitter. When using a flexible
gas connector, it must not exceed 3 feet (36 inches) in
length. A "T" handle type manual gas valve must be
installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.

Never cover any slots, holes or pas-

sages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such asaluminum foil. Doing so blocks air

flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing afire hazard.

All ranges can tip.

Injury to persons could result.

Install anti-tip device packed with range.
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range,
the range must be secured by properly in-
stalled anti-tip bracket(s) provided with the
range. Tocheck if the bracket is installed
properly, grasp the top rear edge of the
range and carefully tilt it forward to make
sure the range is anchored.

D Gas Supply Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on natural gas with 4" water column for

the cooktop section and 5" water column for the oven
section. Pressure regulators connected to the range

MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line.
The gas connector is located as shown on figure 1. It is

accessible from front of the range.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure

to the regulator should be no more than 14" of water
column pressure (3.5 kPa).

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

setting. The cooktop regulator is set at 4"WC (1.0 kPa)
and the oven section is set at 5"WC for Natural gas; the

inlet pressure must be at least 5" and 6" water column
respectively for cooktop and oven section. For LP/Propane

gas, the regulator must be set for 10" (25.4 cm) water
column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure; the inlet pressure

must be at least at 11" (27.9 cm) water column (2.75kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved

shutoff valve (see Figures 3 & 4). 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. 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 is an 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.

The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be

1/2" or 3/4" 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.

All connections must be wrench-tightened

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply

pipe to the gas connector in the following order:

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 isfor 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.

r_ "- • '- 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" 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"

water column).

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas.

If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/
Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a
bag containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANE
GAS CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged

with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service

technician in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure

to follow these instructions could result in serious injury
or property damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate

conversion can result in personal injury and property
damage.

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 is cold. 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. Close the door and switch on
the electrical power and gas to the range.

e 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 installing 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 devices for each burner. Try
each knob separately until all burner valves have been

checked.
