• 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.
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,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never leave
the oven door open when the range is unattended.
• 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.

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.
Before Proceeding:
Your range has been preset at the factory for use with Natural
Gas. This appliance may be converted for LP/Propane Gas by
installing the supplied LP Kit located on the backside of the
appliance.
Special instructions 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.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO
OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN

30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For Gas Venturi models with Electric Ignition)
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
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.
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 not available). Mark the
floor or wall where left or right
side of the range will be
located.
If rear of range is against the 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 the wall, remove molding or mount 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 of template and mark location
of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/
4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the floor. 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 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" nutdriver or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place.
• 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.
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 installed to the wall, make
sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured
in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that
screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
C. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the (4)
leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/
8" is required between the bottom of the range and the
leveling leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit level
to check your adjustments. Slide range back into position.
Visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully
secured by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower panel or
storage drawer. For models with a warmer drawer or broiler
compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward.

2. Provide an adequate gas supply.
This appliance is designed to operate on 4" natural gas or 10" LP/
Propane manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the manifold and MUST be connected in series with
the gas supply line regardless of which type of fuel is being used.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
For proper operation
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. Examples: 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.
, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator
Do not allow pressure regulator to turn on
pipe when tightening fittings.
Gas connection for electric ignition models:
a) Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas supply in
an easily-accessible location outside of the range. Be sure
you know how and where to shut-off the gas supply to the
range.
b) Install 1/2" flare union adapter to pressure regulator.
c) Attach appliance conduit to flare union on regulator.
d) Install flare union adapter to external manual shut-off valve.
e) Attach appliance conduit to flare union on shut-off valve.
f) Make sure service shut-off valve on pressure regulator is in
"ON" position.
g) Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range and use
a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to check for
leaks in the system.
3. Seal the 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 the range to the gas supply.
To prevent leaks, put a pipe joint sealant on all male (outside)
pipe threads.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
