LOCATION
The distance from the floor to the top of the counter
must be at least 35718". The maximum counter height
IS38".
DOnot put the range near an outside door or where a
draft may affect use.
Cabinet space directly over the range should not be
used. You could be seriously Injured when reaching
over the range for items stored in such cablnets. This
hazard can be reduced by Installing a range hoodthat
projects a minimum o1 5" beyond the bottom of the
cabinets. Cabinets Installed above the range may be
no deeper than 13".
CLEARANCES
• You must keep a clearance of at least 2" between the
sides of cooktop portion of range and any matarlal
that could catch fire, from the cooktop upward, to a
height of at least 18".
You must keep a vertlcal distance of at least 30"
between the cooktop and any overhead cabinets for
an area equal to the width and depth of the range (30"
x 28").
See Figures 5, 6, and 7 for all rough-in and minimum
clearance dimensions.
• For listed over-the-range microwave ovens, the oven
can be Installed above the cooktop as per
manufacturer's Instructions.
• Some vinyl wall tiles and floor coverings, as well as
some Indoor-outdoor carpeting, soften at fairly low
temperatures. Ifyou are unsure ofthe heatresistance
of a materia!, put a protective covering under the
range to prevent possible heat damage during range
use.
• Recommended location for the gas Inlet plpe and
electrlcal outlet are shown In Figure 5.
• Seal all openings In the wall behind and the floor
belowthe range before you slide the range Into place.

4) Place the range In the counter cutout leaving just
enough room between the back of the range and the wall
to reach the stability bracket.
5) Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket by
slipping the nearest link of the chain Into the slot In the
bracket (See Figure 1), making sure the chain Is pulled
as tight as possible and that there Is no excess slack In
the chain after chain is attached to the bracket.
* Excess slack In the chain could allow the range to
tip over.
6) Slide the range all the way back Into the counter.
Once the range Is pushed back In place, there will be a
small amount of slack In the chain. This Is normal.

Step 1:
PREPARING THE COUNTER
A 4" backguard Is provided with your range. The
backguard or optional rear lifter kit MUST BE USED.
Your range Is designed to be Installed In a 30" wide
opening; the cutout depth will vary with the type
countertop you have. There are three basic recom-
mended Installations: =_
1. Standard 25" countertop without post-formed
backsplash (see Figs. 15 and !6).
2. Island (seeFIgs. 11 & 12).
3. Standard countertop with post-formed backsplash.
(See Figs. 8, 9, & 10).
After decldln g the cou ntertop type you have, choose the
best installation to meet your needs.
With any Installation, mark the cutout on the counter.
Dimensions given In the following references are mea,
sured from the front of the counter, not from the cabinet
face. To minimize chipping, you may apply masking
tape. For best appearance, it Is important that the cut be
smooth and straight.

Install a manual shut-off valve In the gas supply line In
an easily eccesslble location. Know how and where to
shut off the gas supply to the range.
Shut off gas supply before removing an old range.
Leave it off unUl hookup of new range Is finished.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we rec-
ommend use of an A.G.A. certified metal appliance
connector. Never reuse an old connector when
installing a new range.
Before making gas connections, make sure that the
oven shut-off lever (visible at back of range) is in the
open position. See Figure 17.
F_.17 GAS SUPPLY

The range, as shipped from the fac-
tory, can only be operated with natu-
ral gas. Do not try to operate it with
L.P. (bottled) gas. High flames and
toxic fumes could cause serious in-
jury. If you wish to use your range with
L.P. gas, you must purchase an L.P.
Conversion Kit and have it installed by
a qualified installer.
L.P. CONVERSION KIT
Your range is shipped from the factory set to operate
only with Natural Gas.
If you wish to use your range with Liquefied Petroleum
Gas, you can have your salesperson order Kit 80075 for
Model 36725 or Kit 80079 for Model 36729.

Step 5:
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid leak detector
(sospsolution) at all joints and connections to check for
leaks. DO NOT use an open flame to look for leaks. Be
sure all leaks are stopped before lighting burners.
Step 6:
BAKE AND BROIL BURNER
ADJUSTMENTS
Turn the bake burner or broil burner on and check the
flames. Remove the oven bottom and burner baffle to
access oven burner. Burner flames should not flutter or
blow away from the burner. They should be blue In color
with no trace of yellow. Foreign particles In the gas llne
may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon
disappear.

*The bake burner is located and accasslble by removing
the oven bottom, baffle (flame spreader), and the orifice
fitting cover.
NOTE: Removal of the oven door will make this
easier. To remove the door, open to the
stop position. Grasp both sides and lift
straight off the hinges.
NOTE: The cooktop burners are equipped with an
auto-relight feature which will light or
rel|ght the burners with the control knob
in any position except off. Drafts from
fans, open windows, or overhead vents
may disrupt the burner flame, resulting in
sparking of the top burner electrodes af-
ter the bumer has lit. See use and care
manual for additional information.
Step 8:
LEVELING
For proper baking results, the range must be leveled.
The height of the range must also be adjusted to the
height of the counter. To do this:
1. Install theoven racks (ssa cleaning and care section
In the manual for Instructions and additional
Information).
2. Usa 1 3/8" open end or adjustable wrench to equatly
back out the tour leg levelers until the flanges (rims)
on the sides of the cooktop are above the top of the
counter.
3. Place range where It will he Installed. Put a spirit
level or a glass measuring cup partially filled with
water on one of the oven racks.
4. Use the wrench to adjust the leg levelers.

This gap Isvery Important to the proper venUlstlon of the
range and must be maintained when treating the appear-
ance of the toe space.
The following Is a suggested method of making afiller for
the toe space when the legs are extended as mentlened
before.
After the range Is Installed with the longer legs and Is In
position and level, measure from the bottom of the
bodyslde to the floor. This will be the required belght of
the toe space filler. See Fig. 26. This height may range
from 2 1/16"to 3". Any height lessthan 2 1/16" may not
be visually objectionable and not need the filler.

addltlenal measurements may need to be taken as
detailed below.
When the range Is elevated to the maximum height,
there Is a large space between the bottom of the range
and the floor, referred to as the toe space. This may be
visually objectionable. The legs should not be extended
any further than to provide a maximum of 3" toe space.
See Fig. 26.

If you wish to attach the filler to the floor or adjacent
cabinets, use screws or other removable fasteners, so
that the range can be readily removed if necessary.
