or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition when

installed in the United States.

• When installed in a manufactured (mobile) home,

installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, 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 Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1, or with local codes.

• This range has been design certied by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). As with any appliance using

gas and generating heat, there are certain safety

precautions you should follow. You will nd them in the

Use & Care Guide; read it carefully.

• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly

by a qualied 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 when installed in the United States. See Grounding Instructions on page 8.

• Before installing the range in an area covered with

linoleum or any other synthetic oor covering, make sure the oor 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 ow 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 ow 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.

• Be sure to keep the appliance clear of combustible

materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and

liquids.

• 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 ame size so it does not extend

beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive ame 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 ammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

Explosions or res could result.

• Reset all controls to the “OFF” position after using a

programmable timing operation.

• Unlike some gas ranges, the cooktop is not removable.

Do not attempt to remove the cooktop.

Install anti-tip bracket

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING!

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the oor by properly installed anti-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 di󰀨erent 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 oor 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 oor 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 oor 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 oor mount method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket to t ush against wall, remove molding or mount bracket to oor.

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 oor (See Fig. 5).

(31.75mm)

Fig. 5

For oor 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 oors, 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 at 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

Provide an adequate gas supply.

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designt 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. If an LP/Propane conversion kit has been used, follow the instructions provided

with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/

Propane use.

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.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to

obstruct the ow 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.

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 ttings.

a. Install an external manual gas shut-o󰀨 valve to gas

supply line in an accessible location outside of range.

Be sure you know where and how to shut o󰀨 the gas supply to the range (See Fig. 8).

b. Install 1/2” are union adapter to gas pressure

regulator using no more than 15ft./lbs. of torque

(Refer to Fig. 8).
