WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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.

Gasappliances 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
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yeflow 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.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

A WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid 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 lefl on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

Always use the LITE position when igniting

file top burners and make sure the burners
hme ignited.

Ne\er leave fl_e stnface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boiloxers cause
smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire,

Adjust tile top burner flame size so it
does not exmnd beyond the edge of the

cookwaie. Excessixe flame is hazardous.

Use only dU pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot snrfaces may resnlt in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

come near open flames when lifting

cookware. Do not use a towel oi" other

bn]kv c]ofll in place of a pot holdel:

X&]mn using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize tile possibility of bums,

igniuon of flammable materials and spillage,

turn cookware handles toward the side or

back of fl)e range without exmnding oxer

adjacent burners.

'_&'henflaming foods are under d_e hood,

Um_ the ]Ban off. Tile ]Ban, if operating, may

spread tile flames.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed oxer tile burner gTam to support

the wok. This i-],_g acts as a heat trap,

which m W damage die burner grate, and
burner head. Also, it m W cause fl_e burner

to work impiopefl> This may cause a

carhon monoxide lexel aboxe that

allowed by current standards, iesnlfing

in a heahh hazard.

Foods for ruing should be as d U as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on flesh

foods can cause hot ]Batto bubble up and
oxer tile sides of tile pan.

Ne_er try to mo_e a pan of hot ]Bat,especially

a deep fat flTer _'ait until tile fat is cool.
Do not leme plastic imms on tile cooktop--

flley m W meh if left too close to file xent.
Kee I) all plastics aw W from tile sur]Bace

burners.

Careflllly watch tbods being flied at a high

flame setting.
Always heat tilt slowly, and watch as it heats.

Do not leme any imms on the cooktop. Tile
hot air from tile xent m W ignim flammable

imms and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause diem to burst.

If a combination of oils or fiats will be used in
flTing, sdr together before heating or as fats

meh slowly

Use a deep fat thern/omemr whene\er
possible to prexent oveflleadng fiat beyond

tile smoking point.

Use fl)e least possible amount of ]Batfor
effective shallow or deep-fat flTing. Filling

the pan too fllll of ]Batcan cause spillovers

when food is added.

To ax_id the possibility of a hurn, always be
certain that tile controls for all burners are

at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remo\e fllem.

If range is located near a windo_, do not

hang long curtains that could blow oxer file
surface bni_ners and create a fire hazard.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to tile range
and call a qualified service technician. Ne_er

use an open flame to locam a leak.
Alwws turn the sur]Bace burner conuols off

before removing cookware.

Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner

models. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation of
tile range.

preheat 10minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil

You can use ahuninuin foil to line tile

Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in tile oven as Ill rich _lS

possible. Pans should not touch each other

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one # replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to

become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Donot use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary20-40 degrees.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!

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. Thelower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal st;mdards reqlfire products labeled "margarine" to contnin at least 80% lilt by weight, I,ow lilt spreads, on the
other hand, contnin less tilt and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads aftects the textm'e and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with u)m" old tm'orite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

mid ventilation axe not obs_'ucted by carpeting or
woodwork.

Your range, like nlanv other household iteins, is hea\ T

and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or caipeting. Use care when nloving tile range

on this type (ff flooiing. It is reconmlended that the
following siinple and inexpensive instructions be

followed to protect your flooi:

The range should be installed on a sheet (ff plywood

(or sinlilar inateiJal). _._]/en the floor coveiJng ends at

the ti'ont of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the sanle level or

higher than the floor covering,
This will allow the range to be moved fi3I"cleaning

or seIvicing. _Mso, nlake sure your floor coveting will
withstnnd 180°E (See the Installation Safe_ Instructions

section.)

Make sure the wall coveiJngs around your range can
withstnnd tile heat generated (up to 200°F) by tile range.

(See the Installation SafeW Instructions section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twh_
burners) mid remove any packing material under it.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven mid/or th'awer.

Check to be sure that no rm_ge pm'ts have come loose
during shipph_g.

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE

GAS SUPPLY

Your rmlge is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water cohunn on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas

(propmm or butane), 10" of water cohunn.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the _'pe
of gas fin" which it is designed,

This range is convertible fi_i" use on natural or
l)rol)ane gas. If you decide to use this range on I,P gas,

con\'e_ion must be made bv a qualified I,P installer
betore attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressm'e _ff natm'al gas
supplied to the regulator illtlSt be between 4" and 13"

of water cohlll/n.

For I,P gas, the pressm'e supplied must be between 10"
and 13" ot water cohmm.

When checking fin" proper operation of the regulatm;

the inlet pressm'e must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manitold) pressm'e as given above.

The pressm'e regulator located at the inlet of the range
manitold must remain in the supply line regardless _ff

whether natural or I,P gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the

range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. otl/2"
and be 5 fl_et in length fin" ease of installation. In Canada,

flexible com_ecto_ nlust be single wall metal com_ecto_
no hmger than 6 teet in length.

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before discommcthag
the old rmage mad leave it off until the new hookup has

been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas applimaces when you tuna 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-i)iped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard i)ii)ing method is used, you must carefiflly

align the I)ipe; the range cannot be moved atter the

connection is ii/ade.

To prevent gas leaks, put i)ipejoint compotmd on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* arotmd, all male

(external) pipe threads.

A, Install a manual gas line shut-off wflve in the gas line in

an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make
sm'e everyone operating the range knows where and

how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT

internal thread at inlet of regulatm: Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range ti'om the ti'ont, remove the
90 ° elbow tot easier installation.

C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare ration adapter to the

NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off \_dve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off \_dve to kee I) it

fl'om mrning.

D. Com_ect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to pemfit
com_ection at the shut_fl \zflve.

E. X_]_en all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas sui)ply \:dye. Use a liquid leak detector

at all joints and connections to check fin" leaks in
the system,

WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test i)ressures greater than l/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supi)ly system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas suI)ply piping. When using test I)ressures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range fl'om the gas supply system by closing

the individual shut-off wdve.

Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential satetv hazards associated with certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However; if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a

UiAisted, 3-wire grom_ding-_'pe appliance extension

cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equi\_flent to, or greater than, the branch

circuit rating.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grotmding) i)lug which nlates with a standard

three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
i)ossibility _ffelectric shock hazard ti'om this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and drcuit
checked by a qualified electridan to make sure the

receptacle is properly grotmded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encotmtered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a propedy grotmded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCF£, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG I_IIOM

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Applimlce Power Cord will be

Discommcted Infrequently,

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not
use an adapter on a 20-amp drcuit. _._]mre local codes

pemfit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made
to a propedy grotmded two-prong wall receptacle by the

tlse ofa UiAismd adapte_; a\_filable at most hardware
stores. The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned

with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide
proper polariS' in the com_ection of the power cord.
