INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this range must conform with local codes 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 Canada, installation must conform
with CAN/CGA-B 149.1 and CAN/CGA-B 149.2.

This range has been design certified byCSA International. As
with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are

certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find
them in the Owner's Guide, read it carefully.

Besure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified installer or service technician.

This range must beelectrically grounded inaccordance
with local codes or, in their absence, with the National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No .701latest edition

when installed in the United States. When installed in

Canada, this range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical

Code, Part 1. See Grounding Instructions on page 5 and

6.
The installation ofappliances desig ned for manufactu red

(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 1982 (Manufcatured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-ups), ANSI Z225.1/

NFPA 501A--latest edition, or with local codes when
installed inthe United States. When installed in Canada,

installation must conform with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

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
bumercombustion.

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.

Never leave children alone or unattended in

the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow,

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.

FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:

Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before

self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow

the precleaning instructions inthe Owner's Guide.

Before Proceeding:

Your range has been preset at the factory for use with Natural
or LP/Propane gas. The factory orifice setting is indicated on
the serial plate. Besure the range is adjusted for proper type
gas before continuing. See instructions for "Gas Conversion"

if adjustments are necessary.

rl 'L'_'f-'_a_'il_'[clDO 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 ifthe 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.

Note: On pilot models, the surface and oven burners will

operate normally during a power outage.

Before Starting

Tools You Will Need

For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:

Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers
5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screw Driver

Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit (5/32" Masonry Drill
Bit if installing in concrete)

For gas supply connection:

Pipe wrench

For burner flame adjustment:

Phillips head _ and
blade-type screwdrivers

For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):

Open end wrench - 1!2"

Additional Materials You Will Need

Gas line shut-off valve

Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas

A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4"
or 1!2" I.D.) must be design certified by CSA International.

Because solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using a new flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot
length) for each new installation and additional

reinstallations.

_3m _3m

Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x
3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible appliance
conduit for connection of the range.

A,

Locate the Bracket Using the Template - (Bracket may

be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use

the information below to locate the bracket if template is

notavailable). Markthefloor orwall where left or right side
of the range will be located. If rear of range is against the
wall or nofurther 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
the wall, remove molding ormount bracket to the floor. For
wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge
of the template against the rear wall and the side edge of
template on the mark made referencing the side of the

range. Place bracket on top oftemplate and mark location
of the screw holes in wall. Ifrear of range is further than

1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the
floor. Forfloormount, Iocatethe 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 and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot

hole where screws are to be located. 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 a 5/32" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The
screws provided may be used in wood or concrete

material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat head screwdriver
to secure the bracket in place.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor 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 different location, the anti-tip

brackets 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 instal led to the wall,

make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are

secu red in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall,

be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.
