A WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETY NOTICE

The California 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, formaldehgde and soot, caused primarilg bg the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Prapeflg adjusted buraers, indicated by a bluish rather than a gellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized bg venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

_ Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation 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

part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

i_}Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,

three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use

an extension cord with this appliance.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

_, Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.

i_ Be sure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it

to prevent fire or smoke damage should the

packaging material ignite.

w, 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: These adjustments 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 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 range-
children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.

i_}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.

i_}Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

!:,_iDonot store or usecombustible materials,

gasoline orother flammable vapors and

liquidsin 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.

Flaminggrease outsidea pan can be put

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher

!:,_iLet 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 lower oven
drawer.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--ovoid pans that ore unstable or easilg tipped. Select cool<wore having fiat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toovoid spillovers, make sure cool<wore is large enough
to contain the food properlg. This will bath save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heav_l spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that con
be eosilg grasped and remain cool

!:;_iAlways use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.

!:;_iNever leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_ Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_ Useonly dry pot holders- moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holder.

i!:_When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

!:;_iTo minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

_ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

_ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
_ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

i!:_If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowly.

i_:_Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_¢Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

!:;_iDo not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.

!:;_iDo 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 may
damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

_ Foods for frying should be as dry 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.

i_ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryen Wait until the fat is cool.

i_ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

!:;_iKeep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

_To avoid the possibility of a burn, always 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 you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

i_ Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

!:;_iDo 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

placed correctly on the shelf supports (A

through E),they will stop beforecoming
completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf

support.

Upper Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block these ducts when

cooking in the oven-it is important that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to

the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearby

surfaces during oven or broiler operation-
theg mag become hot.

Aluminum Fail

Do not use aluminum foilon thebottom of
the oven.

Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil mag be usedto catch a

spillover bg placingit on a lower shelfseveral
inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

Asgour oven heats up,the temperature
change of the air in the oven mag cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.
Thesedroplets are harmless and will

Multi-Shelf Baking

Thenumber of shelvesprovided depends on
your model.

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent resultsusing multiple shelves.

Hulti-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
istime saved.Cookies,muffins, biscuitsand

other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.

To cook food on more than one shelf in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE

When baking larger foods on 5 shelves,place

one shelf in the 2nd (A)position,one on the
4th (C}position and the third shelf in the 6th (E}

Adjust the upper oven thermostat--Do it yourself!

You mag find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven istoo hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-80 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained
in memory after a power failure.

Thetypeof margarine will affect bakingperformance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat bg weight. Lowfat spreads,on the

other hand,contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. Forbestresultswith Four old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%

vegetable oil.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (onsomemodels)

Protecting

STAINLESSSTEELhas a reputation for
withstanding tough abuse for years.This isa

key reasonwhy it isso popular with the food

service industry.

However,stainlesssteel appliances can have

surface imperfections, discolorations or

blemishesthat consumers with a critical eye
notice and find unattractive in the home.

Thesediscolorations or blemishescan be
caused by something as simple as leaving

fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel
surface overnight.

Forstainlesssteel appliances where
blemishesare prone to show on the surface,

we recommend APPLYINGACOATOFCERAHA

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injurg could
result.

@

To prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the

wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in

®

• For gour safet9, 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 gout range
and will void gout 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.

• 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.

this section.) To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, carefully

tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range from

tipping over.

If gou pull the range out from the wall for
ang reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device

is engaged when gou push the range back
against the wall.

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. Make 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. ISeethe Installation Safetg Instructions section.I

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,

Installation Instructions

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of S" of

water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
{propane or butane), 10" of water column.

Hake sure gou are supplging gour range with the tgpe of
gas for which it isdesigned.

This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If gou decide to use this range on LPgas,
conversion must be made bg 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 beat least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold} pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supplg line regardless of

whether natural or LPgas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supplg 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 offthe main gas supplg valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the

new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to
relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you

turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,

the use of a CSAInternational-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, gou must carefullg
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the

connection is made.
Toprevent gas leaks, put pipejoint 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 easilg accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure evergone operating the range knows where

and how to shut off the gas supplg to the range.

B. 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 NPT

internal 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 supplg valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all

joints and connections to check for leaks in the sgstem.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

pressure test the gas supplg sgstem of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from

the gas supplg piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supplg sgstem, simplg isolate

the range from the gas supplg sgstem bg closing the
individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properlg grounded dedicated circuit

protected bg a 1S-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time
delag fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safetg hazards associated

with certain conditions, we stronglg recommend against

the use of an extension cord. However, if gou still elect to
use an extension cord, it is absolutelg necessarg that it

be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-tgpe appliance extension
cord and that the current carrging rating of the cord

in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the
circuit rating.

Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefullg)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Preferred Method

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Infrequentlg.

An adapter mag be used onlg on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
mag be made to a properlg grounded two-prong wall

receptacle bg the use of a ULdisted 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 polaritg in the connection of the
power cord.

Temporarg Method

(Adapterplugsnot permitted inCanada(

Align large prongs/slots

Ensure proper

ground and firm
connection before

use

Ensure proper ground
exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to

minimize the possibilitg of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properlg grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properlg grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDERANYCIRCUMSTANCES,

CUTOR REMOVETHE THIRD (GROUND)PRONG FROM
THE POWERCORD.

A word about GFCI's - GFCI's are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's)are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and
automaticallg switch off power when a threshold leakage
level is detected. These devices must be manuallg reset
bg the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCI'sin 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 passible.

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 bg a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properlg grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,

alwags hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is verg likelg to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

46

Installation Instructions

[] 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 two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-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 5280
(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, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites,Communities and Set-Ups),

ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,
mobile horne installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
