I RTANT 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-latest edition. This range has been designed certified by the American

Gas Association. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you

should follow. You will find them in the Use and Care Guide, read it carefully.

reduce the risk of tipping

• Injury to

o All ranges

persons could result.

• Install anti-tip device

• 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 (See grounding Instructions on page 4). The installation of appliances designed for

manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with Manufactured Home Construction

and Safety Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly

the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or when such

of the range, the range must be secured by properly installed anti-tip bracket (s) provided with

the range. To check if the bracket (s) is installed properly, remove the lower panel or storage

standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI Z225.1/

NFPA 501A-latest edition, or with local codes.

Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand the heat generated by the range.

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/32°C 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" (6.4 mm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

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

door(s) or drawer 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 units, cabinet storage space above the units

should be avoided. Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessiveflame 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.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner,

hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn the Surface Control knob to Lite. Use caution when lighting

surface burners manually.

Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a programmable timing operation.

Power Supply Cord Kit

The user is responsible for connecting the power supply cord to the connection block located behind the back

panel access cover. This appliance may be connected by means of

permanent "hard wiring" (flexible armored or nonmetallic shielded copper cable), or by means of a power supply cord kit. Use only a power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes minimum and marked for use with ranges. See chart (below) for cord kit connection opening size and rating information.

Cord must have either 3 or 4 conductors. For mobile homes, new installations, recreational

vehicles, or areas where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4 conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and marked for use with ranges should be used (see Figure 4).

Terminals on end of wires must either be closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have strain relief clamp.

Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if

an incorrect size range cord kit is used, if the Installation Instructions are not followed, or if the

strain relief bracket is discarded.

GasSupply Installation

Manual Shutoff Valve

(Connect tol/2" or 3/4"solid gas

Flare Union Ada supply pipe from the wall or floor).

The supply line should be equipped with an approved shutoff valve (see Figure 9). This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./ C.G.A.-approved flexible metallic union connected piping where local codes permit use. The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal

location for the main shutoff valve.

Do not make the connection too tight.

The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

Assemble the flexible conduit from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in this order:

1- manual shutoff valve, 2- flare union adapter, 3- flexible conduit, 4- flare union adapter, 5- pressure regulator.

Flexible Appliance

Conduit

(Instafl sufficient length

of flexible conduit

to aflow the range to

be pulled completely

out of the cut-out area

for proper servicing.

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to operate on 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator (see figure 2) is connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. To access the regulator, remove the drawer.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14" of water column pressure (3.5 kPa).

The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least 5" water column (1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for

10" water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure; the inlet

pressure must be at least 11 " water column (2.75 kPa).

Union Adaptor-

Figure 9

The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be

1/2" or 3/4" solid pipe. The user must know the location of the main shutoff

valve and have easy accessto it. When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow

sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for cleaning or servicing.

NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched between the wall and the range. To visually check, remove the range drawer.

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible

conduit is used, be certain that it is not kinked. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted

according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas

supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to

check for leaks.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be installed must be sealed.

Moving the Appliance for

Servicing and Cleaning

Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the

main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service drawer and open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit.

Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system

by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any

pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.SkPa or 14" water column).

Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the

back of the range when replacing the unit into the cut- out opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical power and gas to the range.

If the pressure regulator is connected to rigid piping, the

regulator must be disconnected before moving the appliance.

Reassemble in reverse order (see figure 9).

Failure to make the appropriate conversion

can result in personal injury and property damage.

Any additions, changes or conversions

required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized SearsService Center, Distributor or Qualified Agency.
