WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LPfuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Instalk_tion Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any p(]rt of your range unless it is specific(lily recommended in this m(]nu(]l. All other service
should be referred to (] qu(]lified technician.
Plug your range into (] 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt (]bout the grounding of the home electric(]l system, it is your person(]l responsibility and
oblig(]tion to hove on ungrounded outlet replaced with (] properly grounded, 3-prong
outlet in accord(]nce with the Nation(]l Electric(]l Code. Do not use on extension
cord with this (]ppliance.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
WARNING:Theseadjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion. After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION:Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
rangeichildren climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range drawer or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
4
overheating of the oven.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan s/zelavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
Always use the L/TE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited. Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasg spillovers that may catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend begond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use onlg drg pot holders- moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces mag result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulks cloth in place of a pot
holder.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefullg watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
Alwags heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave ang items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent mag ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which mag cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frging, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowlg.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat begond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frging. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which mag damage the burner grate and burner head.
Also, it mag cause the burner to work
improperlg. This mag cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed bg current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods for frging should be as drg as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Never trg to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg
a deep fat frger. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
theg mag melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics awag from the surface burners.
To avoid the possibilitg of a burn, alwags be certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove them. If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.
If SOUsmell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
Alwags turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware. Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on.

ELECTRICWARMINGDRAWER
AND LOWEROVENDRAWERConsome models)
The purpose of the warming drawer and the WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven drawer
isto hold hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the
warming drawer or the WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven drawer.
Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned
food, or combustible materials in the drawer.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your drawer. Do not warm food in the drawer for more
than two hours.
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn. REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes. Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower
oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset
the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
COOK MEATAND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of160°F and poultry to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of l 80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
SELF-CLEANING THE UPPEROVEN
Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe
and any aluminum foil.
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
Nickel oven racks (on some models) should be removed from the oven before beginning the
self-clean cycle.
Gray porcelainicoated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
6
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket
isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean
cycle is used.

UPPEROVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
Do not usetheoven fora storagearea. Itemsstoredintheoven can ignite.
Keep theoven freefrom greasebuildup. Placetheoven racksinthedesiredposition
whiletheoven iscool.
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position isnot designed to slide. Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
WARNING: NEVERcoverany
slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range. When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.
Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens. Always remove any broiler pan from range
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out. For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door closed.
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.

When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rock out to the bump on the rock support.
Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
ofthe range. Donot block these ducts when cooking in the oven-it isimportant that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearbg
surfaces during oven or broiler operation-

Toremove a rack, pull it toward gou,tilt the front end up and pullit out.
Toreplace, placethe end of the rock(stop- locks)on the support, tilt up the front and
push the rock in.
NOTE:The rack is not designed to slide out at the special low rack (R)position.
, Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop
may becomehot if left too closeto the vent.
, Do not leaveplastic or flammable itemson

Metal items willbecome verg hot if theg are left on the cooktop, and could cause bums.
Power Outage
CAUTION:Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure.
Theoven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gaswill not flow unlessthe glow bar ishot.
Upper Oven Light
Touch the Oven Light pad on the upper
control panel to turn the light on or off. On some models,the Oven Light switch
ison the lower front control panel.
If the oven is in usewhen a power failure occurs,the oven burner shuts off and cannot

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

_,Toavoid damaging your probe,do not use
tongs to pull onthe cablewhen removing it.
_,Toavoid breakingthe probe,make surefood
iscompletely defrostedbeforeinserting.
Toprevent possible bums, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet oron a broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement. Insertthe probe completely into the meat.
It should not touch the bone,fat or gristle. Forroasts with no bone,insert the probe into

Ina convectionoven,afan circulates hotair over,underandaroundthe food.
This circulatinghot air is evenly

Tohelp Uou understand the difference between convection bake and roast and
traditional bakeand roast, here are some general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Preheat the oven. See the Using the oven- Preheating and Pan Placement section.
Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks. Good for large quantities ofbaked foods.
, Good results with cookies,biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes,cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel foodcake and bread.
Theconvection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cutsof meat, uncovered.
Theconvection fan circulates the heated air evenlu over and around the food. Heat and
poultru arebrowned on allsidesas iftheu were cooked on arotisserie.Heatedairwill
be circulated over,under and around the food being roasted.Theheated air sealsin
juices quicklu for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich, golden-brown exterior.
Roastsor poultrg shouldbe cooked on rack
position (A).
When you are convection roasting,it is
important that you usea broiler pan andgrid
for bestconvection roasting results.The pan
isused to catch grease spillsand the grid is usedto prevent grease spatters.

Beforeusing your convection oven,check to see ifyour cookware leavesroom for air
circulation inthe oven. If you are baking with several pans,leave space between them.
Also,be surethe pans do not touch each other orthe walls of the oven.
Metal and Glass Any type of cookware willwork in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
_,Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be usedin convection ovens. Plasticcookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°Fcan also be used, when oven isbelow 400°E
faster than shinFpans. Glassor ceramicpans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies,you will get the best resultsif you usea flat cookie sheet instead
of a panwith low sides.
Forrecipes like oven-baked chicken,use a
pan with low sides.Hotaircannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

they cannot be interchanged left to right or front to back. For convenience,the
undersides of the left and right grates are marked "LEFTFRONT"and "RIGHTFRONT."
Hake surethe front portion of both grates is in front. The middle grate hasa bow infront.
Hake surethe bowed portion istoward the front of the range.
Cleaning Lift out when cool. Gratesshould be washed
regularly and,of course,after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water.When replacingthe grates, be surethey are positioned securely over
the burners. Replacethe grates so that continuous arcsareformed with the center
ribs of allthree grates.
Never use knives or cut food on the griddle. Wash with hot, soap_l water offer each use.
Store carefullg to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
Ifsomething has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible
to prevent "baked on" food soil.
iiiiiiiii_
Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a firehazard. Clean
under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy water
Do not place gour griddle in the microwave.
Alwablsturn offallsurface burnersbefore removing thegriddle.Usecaution when
handling o hot griddle.
Donot operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate. Thefinish onthe grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat. Toget rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container.Add 1/4 cup ammonia and letthem soak several hoursor overnight.
Wash,rinse well and dry. Although they are durable,the grates will
gradually losetheir shine, regardlessof the best care you can give them. This isdue
to their continual exposureto high temperatures. Youwill notice this
soonerwith lighter color grates.
NOTE:Donot clean the grates in a self- cleaning oven.
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.
When the surface hascooled,wash and rinse. Forother spillssuch asfat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled.Then rinseand polishwith a dry cloth.
NOTE:Do not store flammable materials in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinitg of this or any other appliance.
NOTE:Do not liftthe cooktop. Lifting the cooktop con lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
NOTE:Forstainless steel cooktops, refer to the Stainless steel surfaces section.

- WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
All ranges can tip.
BURNSor other SERIOUS INJURIEScan result.
INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured bg a properlg installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the
range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If gou did not receive an anti-tip bracket with gour
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3544). For installation instructions
of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
For gour safetg, never use gour range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat gour kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to gour range and will void gour warrantg.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinitg of this or ang other appliance. Explosions or fires
could result.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Hake sure the openings around the base of the range that supplg fresh air
for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like mang other household items, is heavg and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vingl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this tgpe of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect gour floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plgwood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plgwood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure gour floor covering will withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around gour range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)bg the range. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properlg seated and level.
Take the accessorg pack out of the oven and/or
drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

Page 44
Installation Instructions
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 20" of water column.
Hake sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must be made by a qualified LPinstaller before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water
column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between
10" and 13" of water column. When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least r' greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LPgas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D.of 1/2"
and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors
no longer than 6 feet in length.
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when gou turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the
connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe-joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.
A.
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Hake sure everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
a.
Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C.
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPTinternal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E.When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
WARNING: DONOTUSEA
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.

cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the circuit
rating. Grounding IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)

Preferred Method
131ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will
Be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a iS-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
Temporary Method
(Adopter plugs not permitted in Conodo)
Align large prongs/slots
Ensureproper
ground ond firm connection before
use
Ensureproper ground
existsbefore use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT ORREMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND)PRONGFROM THE POWERCORD.
A word about GFCIs- GFCIs are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCIsin kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker is possible.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
B. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will
Be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part 3280
(formerlg 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, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites,Communities and Set-Ups),
ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.

[] CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE
BURNERS
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the range and gas supply lines hove been
carefully checked for leaks. Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should light within/4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until
all burners hove been checked. Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually.

A. Install the oven racks in the oven and position the
range where it will be installed.
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back wall behind the warming drawer. Remove the drawer. See
the Core and cleaning of the range section. To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the
Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed.
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steadg with approximatelg 1" blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properlg, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have approximatelg 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no gellow tipping. (With most LPgas, small gellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports.
If lifting is observed, graduallg reduce air shutter opening
