IMPORTANT SAFETY
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-B149.1 and CAN/CGAB149.2.
This range has been design certified by the American
Gas Association and the Canadian Gas Association. 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.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified 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. 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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 in the
Owner's Guide.
• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS
NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the
cooktop.

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.
Before Starting
Tools You Will Need
For leveling legs:
• Socket wrench (1-3/8" hex) or channel lock pliers
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
• Flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or
1/2" I.D.) must be AGA/CGA design certified.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using this flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot
length).
• (2)Flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or 1/2"
I.D.) for connecting flexible appliance conduit.
To convert your range for LP/Propane use, please follow
conversion instructions supplied with the range or
LP/Propane conversion kit now.
DO NOT attempt to convert this range to
LP/Propane settings without the proper LP/Propane
conversion kit provided with the range or obtained from
your dealer.
1. Install Anti-Tip Bracket(s). (See page 8.)
2. Provide an adequate gas supply. This unit 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. 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.
The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3/4" I.D.
Normal Installation Steps
Before Proceeding
Your range has been preset at the factory to operate
on natural gas only. Some models are shipped
convertible with parts and conversion instructions
supplied. Other models have an LP/Propane
Conversion Kit, number 80-8802-10, available
through your dealer.

Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
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.")
5. Read electrical connection details below
and connect electricity to range.
Before servicing, disconnect electrical
supply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord.
Electric Requirements: An individual, properly grounded
and polarized branch circuit protected by a 15 amp.
circuit breaker or time delay fuse. See serial plate for
proper voltage.
Extension Cord Precautions: Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of any extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord and that the
current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be
equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit rating.
Such extension cords are obtainable through your local
service organization.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! For personal
safety, this product must be properly grounded.

7. Electric Ignition Surface 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. To check for proper lighting, push in and
turn a surface burner knob to the LITE position. You will
hear the igniter sparking. The surface burner should light
when gas is available to the top burner. Each burner
should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation
after air has been purged from supply lines. Visually
check that burner has lit. Once the burner lights, the
control knob should be rotated out of the LITE position.
There are separate ignition devices for each burner. Try
each knob separately until all burner valves have been
checked.
Note: Knob styles may vary from those pictured above.

8. Adjust the "LOW" Setting of Surface
Burner Valve (Three Position and Linear
Flow Valves only):
a) Turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b) Quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.
c) If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:
Reset control to OFF. Remove the surface burner control
knob, insert a thin-bladed screw driver into the hollow
valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame
size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the
screw. 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
going out.
After removing all packing materials and literature from
the oven:
a) Set oven to BAKE at 300ºF. See Owner's Guide for
operating instructions.
b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to
cycle once. Reset controls to off.
c) If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler,
set oven to BROIL. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.
d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame. Reset controls to off.
10. Air Shutter-Oven Burner
The approximate flame length of the oven burner is
1 inch (distinct inner, blue flame).
Note: Air mixture adjustment is not required on surface
burners.
Operation of Oven Burners and
Oven Adjustments
9. Electric Ignition 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.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control
system as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your
model is equipped with a waist-high broil 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 dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off.
The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after
the igniter goes "OFF." To maintain any given oven
temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the dial
(or display) is set to operate.
To determine if the oven burner flame is proper, remove
the oven bottom and burner baffle and set the oven to
bake at 300°F.
To remove the oven bottom, remove oven hold down
screws at rear of oven bottom. Pull up at rear, disengage
front of oven bottom from oven front frame, and pull the
oven bottom out of the oven. Remove burner baffle so
that the burner flame can be observe.

is a distinct blue, reduce the air shutter opening size.
To adjust loosen lock screw (see "3" illustration below),
reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw. Replace
oven bottom.
11. Air Shutter-Broil Burner (if equipped)
The approximate flame length of the broil burner is
1 inch (distinct inner, blue flame).
To determine if the broil burner flame is proper, set the
oven to broil.
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter
opening size. (See "2" in illustration above.) If the flame
is a distinct blue, reduce the air shutter opening size.

Anti-Tip Brackets 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
brackets and screws packed with the range. Failure to
install the anti-tip brackets 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.
Follow the instructions below to install the anti-tip
brackets.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the
range. To check for proper installation, see step 5.
Tools Required:
5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench
Electric Drill
3/16" Diameter Drill Bit
3/16" Diameter Masonry Drill Bit (if installing in concrete)
Anti-Tip Brackets Installation Instructions
Brackets attach to the floor at the back of the range to
hold both rear leg levelers. When fastening to the floor,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood
or concrete. The anti-tip brackets are attached to the
back of the range.
1. Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor
with the back and side edges positioned exactly
where the back and sides of range will be located
when installed. (Use the diagram below to locate
brackets if template is not available.)
2. Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting
holes shown on the template. For easier installation,
3/16" diameter pilot holes 1/2" deep can be drilled
into the floor.
3. Remove template and place brackets on floor with
turned up flange to the front. Line up holes in
brackets with marks on floor and attach with 4
screws provided. Brackets must be secured to solid
floor. If attaching to concrete floor, first drill 3/16"
dia. pilot holes using a masonry drill bit.
4. Level range if necessary, by adjusting 4 leg levelers
with wrench. (See Figure 1 below.) A minimum
clearance of 1/8" is required between the bottom of
the range and the rear leg levelers to allow room for
the anti-tip brackets.
5. Slide range into place making sure rear legs are
trapped by ends of brackets. Range may need to be
shifted slightly to one side as it is being pushed back
to allow rear legs to align with brackets. Remove
lower panel, storage drawer or open broiler
compartment to inspect brackets. You may also
grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully
attempt to tilt it forward to make sure range is
properly anchored.
