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 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.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
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 installe_, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any ad,justment and ser\,ice should be performed only by qualified gas range
installers or ser\,ice technicians.
Do not atmmpt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other serx,ice should be referred m a qualified
technician.
Plug your range into a 190woh grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong f_om 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 exmnsion cord with this appliance.

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 left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool
Always use the LITEposition when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners have i_lited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and _easy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the mp burner flame size so it
does not exmnd beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfhces may result in burns fiom 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
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookware handles reward the side or
back of the range without exmnding over
adjacent burners. Carefully watch foods being flied 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 fiom the vent may i_fite flammable
imms and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them m burst. If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
flying, stir together before heating or as fats
meh slowly.
Use a deep fht thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat f_)r effective shallow or deep-fat flying. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
Do not flame f_)ods on the cooktop. Kyou do flame fk)ods under the hood, turn the fro1 on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner _ate 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 flying should be as dU as possible.
Frost on fiozen foods or moisture on fiesh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Never tU to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat flyer Wait until the fht is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls fbr all burners are at the OFF position and 'all _ates are cool
befbre 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 serx,ice technician. Never
use an open flame to locam a leak. Always turn the surface burner controls off
before remox,Jng cookware. Do not lift the cookmp on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cookmp can lead to damage and improper operation of
the range.

convenience in lifting hem T foods. It is 'also a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The
lowest position is not designed to slide.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an in,juU.
II, WARNING:NEVERcover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire shelf with
mamrials such as aluminum fk_il.Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum fk_illinings 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 d_T newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
Always remove any broiler pan f_om range
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without
remox,ing the _ease flom the broiler pan.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Make sure any broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of
grease fires.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
If you should have a _ease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Offpad, and keep

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.
FederM standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more wateL The high moisture conmnt of these spreads affects the mxture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or
woodwork.
Your zvmge, like many adler household items, is heaxy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or cazpefing. Use care when moving the range
on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive insmzcfions be
followed to promct your tool The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the flont of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood m the same level or
higher than the floor covering. This will allow file zvmge m be moved for cleaning
or sezMcing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°E (See the Installation Safetylnstructions
section.) Make sure die wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up m 200°F) by the zvmge.
(See the InstallationSafetyInstructionssection.)
IMPORTANT[
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.
Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) and remove any packing material under it.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions
IT] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10" of water colmnn.
Make sure you are supplying your range widl die type of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use dlis range on I,P gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on dmt gas.
For proper operation, die pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4" and 13"
of water cohmm.
For LP gas, die pressure supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water cohmm.
_4qlen checking for proper operation of die regulator,
tile inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater dmn tile operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of die range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whedler naumd or LP gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect die
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installaOon. 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 you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA Inmrnafional-cerfified 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 carefidly
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
(exmrnal) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line stmt-offvalve in the gas line in
an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and
how m shut off" the gas supply m the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
inmrnal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting m avoid damage.
When installing die range flom die flont, remove die 90 ° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter m die
NPT inmrnal dnead of the manual shut-off valve, raking care m back-up the strut-off valve m keep it flom arming.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range m permit connection at the strut-off valve.
E.
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in die offposifion and turn on die mMn gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in die system.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test tile gas supply system of tile residence, disconnect the range and individual strut-off valve flom the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range flom the gas supply system by closing
the individual shut-off vane.
