INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cooking appliances must be connected only to the type of gas identified on
the rating plate
1. Make a written record of the information on the rating plate located
underneath the heat deflector at the front of the oven. (28” from the floor).
2. Open the oven door to access and read the rating plate.
3. This plate contains the model and serial number of this unit.
4. Write the information on the front cover of this manual for easy reference
should the need to communicate with this company ever occur.
5. The rating plate also contains BTU/hr output of the burners, operating gas
pressure in inches W.C.P and identifies the orifice for natural or L.P. gas
use.
6. Pilot lighting instructions (ovens only) are also located in the same area.
7. Installation of this range should be performed by qualified, certified and
licensed persons.
8. Service should be performed by persons who are familiar with American
Range equipment.
CABINET PREPARATION:
• This range is a free standing unit.
• The range can be placed in various positions with respect to the cabinet
front, with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop
width.
5
• The range is zero-clearance safe against non-combustible surfaces.
• The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either side of the
hood is 13”.
• Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range
must be sealed.
• When there is less than 12” clearance between combustible material and
the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a backguard must
be installed.
• When clearance to combustible material is over 12” no backguard is
necessary
• Back guards must be ordered separately. To order, measure the space
that the back guard must have and order accordingly.
CAUTION: Ranges equipped with casters on two (2) or more legs are for
installation on 1/3 inch thick commercial grade vinyl composition floor
finishing materials or the equivalent.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Always keep the range area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not use the venting area at the back of the cooktop as a storage area
or shelf as items will be subjected to high temperatures and could be
damaged.
3. For proper operation of the range do not obstruct the flow of air and
ventilation needed for the proper combustion in the range.
4. For proper ventilation, American Range suggests installing the range
under an exhausting, ventilating hood with the proper filters and drip
troughs (Consult local building codes for construction information).
5. Proper clearance must be provided in front of the range for ease of use
and servicing.
6
6. The complete installation must comply with local codes or in the absence
of local codes, with National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, or The
National Propane Gas Installation Code CSA B149.1 as applicable.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Ventilation unit Standard Counter Island Installation
Hood Size 24” Deep x Unit Width 30” Deep x unit width
Blower Size 48” Range
800-1200 CFM
• When installing a range with a grill, select a blower on the high end of the
recommendation.
• Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of
heated or air conditioned air.
• The elimination of smoke and cooking vapors is best when the hood is
installed 30” to 36” above the range cooktop.
• Wood covered hoods should be installed 36” above the range cooktop.
o For Sauté / Step-Up models, clearance to combustible surfaces
above the range top is 32”
Consult a professional heating and ventilating contractor for local code
information on single and double wall ducting requirements.
36” Range

INSTALLING THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
FOLLOW ENCLOSED SEPARATE INSTRUCTIONS
1. All ranges must have an anti-tip device correctly installed as instructed
by the manufacturer
2. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure that
the anti-tip device is properly engaged when you push the range back
against the wall.
3. There is the possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if
the open oven door is leaned on when the anti-tip device is not
engaged. Never lean, stand or sit on an open oven door.
When Installation is complete, check to be sure that the range installation is
correct by checking the anti-tip device. Grasp the back of the range and carefully
attempt to tilt the range forward.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• The Range must be electrically grounded in compliance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA70.
• This range requires a 120 volt supply to operate the ignition system.
The supply cord provided on the range is equipped with a 3 prong
(grounding) plug for protection against shock.
• The electrical service in the building must be equipped with properly
grounded 3 prong receptacle.
• Do not cut or remove grounding prong from this plug.
POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS RANGE
• 120 VAC, 60Hz, single phase
• ARR-24,-30:10 AMP. Max.
• ARR-36, 10 AMP Max.
• ARR-48, 10 AMP. Max.
• ARR-60, 10AMP. Max.
• Always disconnect electric supply cord from the wall outlet before
servicing.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the range in the event of a
power failure.
GAS CONNECTION
• Use at least a ½“commercial flex hose to connect range to the gas supply
(service line).
• A manual gas shut off valve must be installed, in easy access in front of
the gas supply (service line) and ahead of the range for safety and ease
of future service.
• All valves must be in the off position before connecting to the gas supply
line.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
1. The regulator installed in the range is adjusted at the factory for 5” WC
(natural gas) or 10” WC (L.P.) depending on the customer’s request.
Regulators must not be removed.
2. The regulator can withstand a maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14” WC). If
the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down regulator will be
required. The inlet pressure shall be at least 7” WC for natural gas and
11” WC for L.P. gas.
3. Any adjustment to regulators must be made ONLY BY QUALIFIED service
personnel with proper test equipment.

compound
Test all joints with a soapy water solution before lighting the burners
FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS, CONNECTORS AND CASTERS
• Ranges installed with flexible couplings and or quick-disconnect fittings
