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.
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.

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.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the instructions in step 4g.

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.
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 pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
If it should be necessaryto checkthe 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.")
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
isabsolutely necessarythat 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.

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.
The approximate flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch (distinct inner, blue flame).
To determine ifthe 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 observed.
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. (See "2" in illustration below.) If the flame 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.

Tube
After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven:
a) Set oven to BAKE at 300°F. 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.
