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--1atest edition when installed in the United States.

This range has been design certified by CSA International. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them in the Use & Care Manual, 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.

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 isunattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors

or drawers of this range can result inserious 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 astorage 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 precteaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.

• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the cooktop.

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.

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.

Locate the Bracket Using the Template- (Bracket may

be located on eitherthe left or right side ofthe range. Use the information below to locate the bracket iftemplate is

not available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the rangewill be located. If rear ofrange isagainst

thewall orno 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 tothe

floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against the rear walt 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 walt. 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.

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. Ifbracket isto be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a5/32" 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.

• 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 witl 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 inwood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

3. Seal the openings.

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

4. Connect the range to the gas supply. To prevent leaks, put a pipe jointsealant on all male (outside)

pipe threads.

Your regulator is in the location shown below.

Do not allow regulator to turn on pipe when

tightening fittings.

Care must be taken du ring 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 pressu re. 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 ofthe appliance shall be conducted according to the instructions in step 4g.

use a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to

check for leaks in the system.

Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

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 pressu re

(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 15amp. circuit breaker or time delay fuse. See serial plate for proper voltage.

Extension Cord Precautions:

Because ofpotential 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.
