Wall Clearances

All units must be installed in accordance with minimum side wall clearances and clearances extended vertically above the cooking top. See Figs. 1 & 6 for illustration. This unit may not be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical surfaces above the 36” cooking surface height. There must be a minimum of 6” vertical side clearance to either side of the appliance extending from the cooking surface to 18” above to a maximum wall cabinet depth of 13”, see Figs. 1 & 6.

Comb

ustible surfaces above the unit must be a minimum of 40” above the unit’s top cooking surface for the full width of the appliance if a range hood is not

used. If a hood is used we recommend 30” to the bottom of the hood above the top cooking surface (Top of hood 7’ from floor).

FiveStar hoods may be installed from 24” to 36” above the cooking surface. A minimum of 28” is required when a FiveStar backsplash with warming shelves is used.

ANY OPENINGS IN THE WALL BEHIND THE UNIT AND IN THE FLOOR UNDER THE RANGE MUST BE SEALED.

BEFORE PLACING THE RANGE IN OPERATION CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

INSTALLER: INFORM THE CONSUMER OF THE LOCATION OF THE GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE.

NOTE: THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE UNIT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Gas and Electric Connections

Plug in the electric power supply cord and make certain that the gas stub-out is prepared properly for the gas

connection prior to moving the range into place. The gas supply line must be at least the same size or greater than the inlet line of the range. All FiveStar ranges use a

2” NPT inlet.

Check any installer-supplied intake pipes and fittings visually and blow them out with compressed air to clear any dirt particles, threading chips, or other foreign matter before installing in a service line.

The Unit should be connected to a supply line with

/2 inch black iron pipe or a certified flexible connector, (See Figure 3,4 & 5). For U.S.A. installations, flexible connectors must comply with ANSI Z21.69 (latest edition) or for Canadian installation CAN/CGA-6.16 (latest edition revision) with suitable strain reliefs.

Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer. For natural gas 4” wcp is required. For LP gas 10” wcp is required. The incoming line pressure must be at least 1” wcp higher (but no more than 14” wcp) than the manifold pressure.

(a) The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of

/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

(b) The appliance must be isolated 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

/2 psig

(3.5 kPa).

We suggest that you have the dealer where you purchased your new unit install it or have him arrange with a local plumber to make the installation. Installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition in the U.S.A. Canadian installations must conform with CAN 1-B149.1 or .2. To prevent gas leaks, use an approved sealing compound, which is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases, on all threaded connections.

All gas models come equipped with a three-wire (two conductor with ground) supply cord. Dual-fuel ranges are not

supplied with a range connection cord. The unit must be electrically

grounded and installed in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes the installation must comply with ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) in the U.S.A. or for Canadian installations C22.1 (latest edition).

WALL CLEARANCES

GAS AND ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Connecting the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until 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 an A.G.A.-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hardpiped connection.

When codes require hard piping, piping must be recessed into or enter through the rear wall, See Fig. 1. Openings are provided in the back cover for through the wall piping.

On sealed b

urner models the nipple provided, See Fig. 4, must be removed and replaced with piping as illustrated in Fig. 5.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

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 with Teflon* tape all around male (external) pipe threads.

1. Install a manual gas 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” flare union adapter to the 1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of the regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

3. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep if from turning.

4. Connect flexible metal appliance

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shuf-off valve.

connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve or vise versa.

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.

Backguard Assembly

The backguard, located in the “top pack” of the range, must be installed prior to placing the range in position for gas hookup. See Figure 7.

Positioning/Leveling

To position the range use a lift jack or enough manpower to lift the range completely. Avoid sliding, pushing, or pulling the range because this increases the possibility of bending the legs or the coupling connectors and could also result in damage to the floor covering.

Ranges and built-in cooktops must be level to obtain proper cooking results. Ranges adjust from 35

/8” to 37 7/8” or 2” max. All units must be level frontto-back and side-to-side. See Fig. 2.

Built-in cooktops must be installed in a cut-out and on a level surface, as illustrated in Fig. 6.

NEVER BLOCK THE FLOW OF AIR FOR COMBUSTION OR VENTILATION. SEE INSTRUCTION FIG. 2.

Adjustments

Appliances will either be set for use with Natural gas or Propane (LP) gas. The factory orifice setting is indicated by a second alpha prefix letter in the model number. The letter “T” indicates a natural gas setting. The letter “P” indicates a propane (LP) setting.

ALL ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR CONVERSIONS MUST BE MADE BY THE INSTALLER OR SERVICING UTILITY DURING INSTALLATION.

SEALED TOP BURNER MODELS ARE FACTORY SET FOR THE GAS FOR WHICH THEY ARE TO BE USED. THEY CANNO

T BE CHANGED FROM ONE GAS TO ANOTHER WITHOUT FACTORY AUTHORIZATION.

The oven gas selector screw is found in the lower left hand corner indicating “LP” or “N”. (B) These letters will appear upside down reading “N” and “LP”. (C) Rotate the adjustment screw tab to the proper setting. See Figure 8.

All ranges are equipped with a gas pressure regulator for controlling and maintaining a uniform gas pressure in the gas manifold of the range. The burner orifices are sized for the gas pressure delivered by the regulator supplied. The pressure regulator must not be removed. To convert the regulator from one gas to another remove convertor cap by inserting a coin into slot in top an twisting, turn cap over and re-install. See Fig. 9.

Standard top burners . . . Be sure the shipping screws have been removed from the burners. The

correct positioning should place the top of the burner head approximately 3/8” below the cooking surface. See Fig. 11.

Top burners have LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH positions. Adjust gas and air mixture in the HIGH position. To adjust LOW turn knob to LOW, remove knob and while holding the valve stem in the LOW setting with a pair of pliers turn the adjusting screw until a flame of approximately

/8” is

obtained.

High flames on surface burners are inefficient and unsafe. The flame should always be adjusted so that it is no larger than the bottom of the pan.

Pilot is out when control dial is “OFF.” Spark electrode is directly above “CHUTE.”

Vari-Flame™ . . . FiveStar

Standard front burners are equipped with a true center-simmer feature that is factory set. The burner orifice hoods are black for NAT. gas and brass for LP. gas. If the range is to be converted from NAT. gas to LP. or vice versa call 800-251-7224 for proper orifices and instructions.

Oven and Griddle Burners

These burners are supplied gas by automatic safety valves. The safety valve orifice must be set for the gas being used. See Figure 10. This valve is located at the base of the oven burner in the broiler compartment and at the base of the griddle burner in the burner box under the griddle assembly.

Flame Height

Improper flame height is inefficient and unsafe. The flame on these burners should be blue in color and approximately 1

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Statistics show many accidents occur in the home. Most of these could be prevented with care and judgment. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. When using appliances, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Don’t attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in the book. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified technician.

• WARNING - All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent

accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall or floor. See Figure 2.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material

could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surfaces or open flames and may cause severe burns.

• 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 hot surfaces of the range. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth as a pot holder.

• On a cold morning you might be tempted to use the range as a kitchen heater – DON’T! Use of

the range in this manner may be hazardous. Oven controls and other valve components are not designed for heating use. Never use your range for warming or heating the room.

• When preparing your meals a great deal of heat is generated, consequently some parts of the range will become HOT. Consider

this in choosing the location for your range. Don’t leave children unattended near the range when it’s in use or while the surfaces are still hot from use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Never allow children to play with the range controls. Teach them that

the range and pans on it can be hot. Don’t allow anyone to climb about the range or use it or the doors for stepping, leaning, or sitting. Possible hazards or injuries may result. It’s recommended that practices of storing items above the stove be discontinued.

• Due to potential hazard don’t use the oven or broiler space for storage. The top of the range should

never be used for storage either. Flammable items can catch fire and plastic items may ignite or melt.

• Keep hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

Do not use gas broiler for storage.

• DO NOT TOUCH BURNERS, BURNER GRATES, OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN. These surfaces may be hot

enough to burn even though they appear to be cool. During and immediately after use do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any hot surfaces or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooking surface and areas facing the cooking surface, oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening, and crevices around the oven door. Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

• Don’t heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure

could build up and the container could burst causing an injury.

• Place oven rack in desired position while oven is cool. If rack

must be handled when hot use a pot holder. Pulling out the oven rack to the stop position is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

Surface Cooking

• Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The

use of undersized utensils in which the flame comes up the side of the utensil does not heat the contents faster, it only scorches the outside of the utensil making clean up harder. Adjust the top burner knob to select a flame size to cover just the bottom of the pan or pot.

• Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and immediately

after use, do not touch areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• Never leave top burners unattended at high heat settings.

Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire.

• Don’t use aluminum foil to line burner pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse could result in fire

hazard or damage to the range. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed containers are suitable for range-top service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

Oven

• Don’t bake in a gas oven unless the broiler pan is in position and free of grease. Be careful when

handling the pan, especially when hot. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if the oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

• Never use ammonia in an oven that is warmer than room temperature and always have direct ventilation.

• Stand away from range when opening oven door. Hot air or

steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face, and/or eyes.

• When replacing an oven light bulb, be sure the oven is cool, disconnect power to the range, and use a dry cloth to handle the bulb.

• Is the protruding handle of a utensil on the range an attraction to curious little hands? YOU BET

IT IS. Always turn utensil handles to the side or back of the range. It’s also possible for an adult to hit the handle accidentally.

• Always turn surface burner to OFF before removing cookware.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at HIGH or MEDIUM temperatures.

• To avoid the possibility of a burn always be certain that the controls for all top burners are at OFF position and all burner pans are cool before attempting to remove the burner pan or burner.

• Don’t put removable surface burners in a dishwasher.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods

or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan.

• Use only enough fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling

the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Surface Cooking

Cook fresh vegetables with a minimum amount of water in a covered pan.

Watch foods when bringing them quickly to cooking temperatures at high heat. When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.

When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only amount needed. It is not economical to boil a container full of water for one or two cups.

Use correct heat for cooking task: HI–to start cooking (if time allows,

do not use high heat to start).

MEDIUM–quick browning. LOW–finish cooking most quantities,

double-boiler heat, and for small quantities.

VARI-FLAME

FRONT BURNERS SIM–to maintain serving temperature of most foods.

Oven Cooking

Preheat oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, preheat for 10 to 12 minutes.

Always turn oven OFF before removing food.

During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible.

Cook complete oven meals instead of just one food item. potatoes, other vegetables, and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken, or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature and in approximately the same time.

Use residual heat in the oven whenever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Range may be installed directly against rear walls and side base cabinets. It may not be installed directly against side tall cabinets, sidewalls, or tall appliances. See “Wall Clearances” Figure 1 & 6.

• Electrical requirements: 120 volts, 60 Hz, 15 amps. Dual-fuel ranges 120/240 volts, 60 Hz, 20 amps.

• Natural gas: 4.0” WC, propane

10.0” WC.

• Residential exhaust vent hoods may be installed above the range. Provide properly sized exhaust fans for efficient operation, no sprinklers are required.

• If this range is removed for any reason, service or cleaning, etc., it must be replaced as outlined in the installation instructions before placing the range back in operation.

Field Adjustments

All ranges are tested before leaving the factory. Field adjustments are necessary for proper operation. The range must be installed and adjusted by a qualified technician. Final adjustments and/or

conversions from one gas to another are not covered under the warranty.

Contact your dealer for the name of their authorized Service Agency. If none is available, contact the corporate office for the nearest authorized Service Agency in your area. Phone (800) 251-7485.

Top Burners

All burners have electronic ignition. Standard top burners have “manual” ignitors. Sealed top burners (if equipped), oven burners, griddle and grill burners have flame-sensing ignitors.

To light the top burners, push the knob in and turn counter-clockwise to the “LITE” position. As soon as the knob reaches the “LITE” position, you’ll hear a “clicking” sound. The knob operates both a gas valve and an electric switch. If you don’t hear a clicking sound, turn the knob off and check the electric connection, fuse or circuit breaker if necessary. After ignition, on standard burner models, rotate the knob slightly clockwise out of the “LITE” position. This turns off the electricity to the electrodes and the clicking will stop. DON’T LEAVE THE KNOB IN THE “LITE”: POSITION . . . it will shorten the life

WARNING!!!

DUAL-FUEL MODELS ARE NOT SUPPLIED WITH A CONNECTION CORD. IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, SEVERE SHOCK CAN OCCUR.

of the electronic system. On sealed burner models, if equipped

with flame sensing ignitors, the clicking sound stops after ignition.

Each time a knob is placed in the “LITE” position all electrodes will spark. There are electrodes under the top for each pair of burners and one for the griddle. There is one electrode in each broiling section for the oven burner. In the event of a power failure you may light the top burners with a match. Hold lighted match near the surface burner and turn knob counterclockwise to the “LITE” position. See Oven and Griddle Burners section for instructions to light the oven burner in the event of a power failure. Page 14.

Final Preparation Stainless Steel

New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the manufacturing process, then coated with a thin film of mineral oil. Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrapper which must be peeled off. The range should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove these film residues and any installation dust or debris before being used for food preparation, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely required. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders! If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife,

spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost impossible to remove.

A light coat of oil such as Johnson’s Baby Oil may be applied periodically to the stainless steel surfaces. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the stainless surfaces.

Once the unit is installed as outlined in

the Installation Instructions (pages 3-6) it is important that the air supply to the unit remains open. The oven air supply comes through the front floor area under the range. The surface burners get air from the area below the control panel. THESE AREAS MUST REMAIN OPEN. See Figure 2.

Cooking Utensils

Most cooking utensils are suitable for use on the FiveStar and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic utensils with commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. Cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents or bulging on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Before You Cook

Before staring to cook, clean the range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Turn the oven to 400 degrees for approximately one hour to burn off the “binder” from the insulation. There will be a slight odor.

Griddle

The griddle is coated with a thin film of oil. The first “burn in” of the new griddle should include a gradual seasoning. The griddle is a heavyduty machined steel plate and for efficient use must be seasoned as follows:

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove the protective oil coating.

Rinse with a mixture of

/4 cup white

vinegar to one quart water. Spread unsalted shortening or liquid

vegetable oil evenly over the entire griddle surface.

Turn the control to 350 degrees and wait until the shortening just begins to smoke then turn the control off.

Rub the melted shortening into the griddle surface with burlap or other rough material, moving in the direction of the griddle surface grain, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Let the griddle cool and wipe it clean with a dry cloth. “Season” it again.

When the griddle is cool after the second seasoning, wipe it clean once again and wipe with a thin film of shortening or vegetable oil. A well seasoned griddle will become dark brown with age.

Griddle Cooking

• Preheat griddle at 450˚ for 12 minutes, then turn to selected temperature.

• Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes, French toast, fish, and sandwiches. This will help to reduce sticking. Meats usually have enough natural oils

• Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking to make the clean up easier and to avoid including those particles in the cooked food. Be sure to keep the spatula flat. The corners can scratch.

• Direct the flow of grease to the center of the grease well.

• Do not over-heat the griddle. Turn it off when not in use, or lower heat between cooking loads.

Griddle Clean Up

Cooked-off grease will drain from the griddle toward the front of the range and accumulate in the grease well. Direct the flow of grease to the center of the grease well with a spatula. After using the griddle, always remove the grease well in front of the griddle. Portable griddle does not have removable grease well. Pour or spoon off grease in the well cup and wash it in hot, soapy water. Use a dry
