must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24,
HUD (Part 280)] or, when such standard is not applicable, the
Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS
A225.1, or with local codes.

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 Guide, read it carefully.

• Besureyour 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 CodeANSI/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 orany 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 airat 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.

. Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate

by blowing a downward airflow on to a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with

each other.

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 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 MODELSWITH SELF=CLEAN FEATURE:
. Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before

self=cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow
the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

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 _%t

• Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas

A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPTx 3/4"
or 1/2" I.D.)must bedesign certified byCSA 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 fudher than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you
may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is
installed and does not allowthe bracket tofit 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 ontopof template and mark location
of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range isfurther than

1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the

floor. Forfloor 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. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry
or ceramic floors, drill a 3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The
screws provided may be used inwood or concrete material.

Use a5/16" 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 pressu re regulator isconnected 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 kitfor converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use. The LP kit can be found on the
back side of the range (some models).

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

1inch 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.

Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-offvalve 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 itshould 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 burnervalve 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.")
