•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 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-inch thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

•Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand the heat generated by the range.

•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.

•Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for use in combination with each other.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL OVEN CONTROLS TO “OFF” IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE.

The electric ignitor will automatically re-ignite the oven burner when power resumes if the oven thermostat control was left in the “ON” position.

When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the surface burners will continue to operate.

During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Never leave children alone or

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

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers 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 burners, cabinet storage space above the burners should be avoided.

•Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive flame 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.

•Reset all controls to the “OFF” position after using a programmable timing operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE

1 Install anti-tip bracket

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING!

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by properly installed an- ti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip bracket must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or met-

al. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

Anti-tip bracket installation instructions

a.Locate the bracket using the template - (Bracket may be positioned on either the left or right side of the range. Refer to Figs. 4, 5, & 7 to position the bracket if template is not available).

Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the range will be located. If rear of range is against wall or no further than 1-1/4” from wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket to fit flush

against wall, remove molding or mount bracket to floor.

For wall mount (Fig. 4), locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against rear wall

and the side edge of template on the mark made referencing the side of the range. Place bracket on top of template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/4” from wall when installed, attach bracket to the floor (See Fig. 5).

Fig. 5

For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back edge of the template where the rear of the range will be located. Mark the location of the screw holes shown in template.

b.Drill pilot holes & fasten bracket - Drill 1/8” pilot hole where screws are to be located (Fig. 6). If bracket is to be mounted to the wall, drill

pilot hole at an approximate 20° downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors,

drill 3/16” pilot hole 1-3/4” deep. The screws provided

may be used in wood or

concrete material. Use 5/16” nut-driver or flat head screwdriver to secure the

bracket in place.

c.Level & position range - Level range by adjusting the

(4) leveling legs with a wrench.

Note: A min. clearance of 1/8” is required between bottom of range and leveling legs to allow room for bracket.

Slide range back into position (Fig. 7). Remove lower panel or storage drawer to visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured by the bracket. For models with a warmer drawer or broiler compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE

2 Provide an adequate gas supply.

Please note: Operation at elevations above 2000 ft., appliance rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1000 ft. above sea level.

This appliance is pre-set to operate on 4” natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. If the LP/Propane

conversion kit has been used, follow instructions provided with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/ Propane use.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14 inches of water column pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1 inch greater than regulator manifold pressure.

Example: If regulator is set for natural gas 4 inch manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5 inches; if regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas 10 inch manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11 inches.

Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the instructions in step 4g.

The gas supply line should be 1/2” or 3/4” I.D.

3 Seal wall openings.

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range after gas supply line is installed.

4 Connect range to gas supply.

Note: To prevent leaks use pipe joint sealant on all male (outside) pipe threads. Do not allow gas pressure regulator to turn on pipe when tightening fittings.

a.Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas supply line in an accessible location outside of range. Be sure you know where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range (See Fig. 8).

b.Install 1/2” flare union adapter to gas pressure regulator using no more than 15ft./lbs. of torque (Refer to Fig. 8).

e.Attach flexible appliance conduit to flare union adaptor on shut-off valve (See Fig. 8).

f.Make sure the service shut-off valve on pressure regulator is set to the ON position (See Fig. 11).

Checking manifold gas pressure

Do not use flame to check for gas leaks.

Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14” of water column pressure (approximately 1/2” psig).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14” of water column pressure (approximately 1/2” psig).

If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4,” hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on.

For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over 14” water column. When properly adjusted for Natural

Gas the manifold pressure is 4”. For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure is 10”.

6 Check burner cap placement.

It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the appliance. Please note that the burner heads are secured to the cooktop. The cooktop is not removeable. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.

Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use. Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice holder openings.

Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all round style burner caps are correctly in place on round burner heads.

Check and be sure that all oval style burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check and be sure that all dual or twin style burner caps are correctly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped).

On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 13) should fit snug into the center of burner head and be level. Refer to Figs. 14 & 15 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 16) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip

makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE

	Check ignition of surface
7
	burners.

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.

a.To check for proper ignition, push in and turn a surface burner knob counterclockwise to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking.

b.The surface burner should ignite when gas is available to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines.

c.Visually check that burner has a flame. Once the burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.

d.Try each surface control knob separately until all surface burners have been checked. Each burner location is equipped with a separate electrode.

	Adjust LOW setting of surface
8
	burner valves (linear flow).

Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted:

a.Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.

b.Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position.

c.If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.

d.Remove the surface burner control knob.

e.Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw (see Fig. 17 amd Fig. 18).

f.Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without extinguishing.

9 Check ignition of oven burners.

The operation of oven igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power. Be sure all packing materials and literature are removed from oven.

The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is equipped with an upper oven burner, it will also have

an electric burner igniter. These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will “glow” similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the set temperature, the glowing igniter will cycle off. The burner flame will turn off in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter turns off. To maintain any set oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the oven control is set to operate.

To check oven burner ignition:

a.Set oven to Bake at 300ºF. See User’s Manual for operating instructions.

b.Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset control to OFF.

c.If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler, set oven to Broil. See User’s Manual for operating instructions.

d.Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for proper flame. Reset control to OFF.
