United States. When installed in Canada, installation must conform with CAN/CGA-B149.1 and CAN/CGA-B149.2.

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 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 ANSl/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.

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 5foot 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. Markthe 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.

• 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.
