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 instal led 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 therange 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.

lrl'_lw'-IttPIl_[ 'PIIStepping, leaning or sitting on the doors

ordrawers 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 precteaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS
NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the

cooktop.

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.

_t_W/_,'l:t#ll_[€'l 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 resu mes 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.

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 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.

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. Ifbracket isto 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 orflat 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 red uce 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 walt. 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.
