WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE
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, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LPfuels. 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.
Haveyour 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 installersor servicetechnicians.
Do notattempttorepairor replaceany partofyour range unlessitisspecifically
recommended inthismanual.Allotherservice
shouldbe referredto a qualifiedtechnician.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
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.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of draftg locations to prevent pilot outage (on standing pilot models) and poor
air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should
the packaging material ignite.
Be sure gour range is correctlg adjusted bg
a qualified service technician or installer for the tgpe of gas (natural or LP)that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either tgpe of gas. See the Installation of the range section.
WARNING:These adjustments must
be made bg o qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authoritg having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injurg or propertg damage. The qualified agencg performing this work
assumes responsibilitg for the conversion.
Be careful when gou clean the cooktop because the area over the pilot (on standing
pilot models) will be hot.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures mag result and mang floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vingl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such tgpe
of use. Never install it directlg over interior
kitchen carpeting. Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. Theg could be seriouslg burned.
Do not allow angone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, broiler drawer or cooktop. Theg could damage the range and even tip it
over, causing severe personal injurg.
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 mog cause severe burns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range broiler or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinitg of this or ang other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother o flaming pan on o surface burner
bg covering the pan completelg with o
well-fitting lid,cookie sheet or flat trog.
Use o multi-purpose drg chemical or
foam-tgpe fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or,if available,
bg using a multi-purpose drg chemical or
foam-tgpe fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completelg bg closing the oven door and turning the control to off or bg using a
multi-purpose drg chemical or foam-tgpe
fire extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where
children con reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. Theg provide the air inlet and outlet
that ore necessorg for the range to operate
properlg with correct combustion. Air openings
ore 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 broiler drawer.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the bocksplosh of o range-
children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriouslg injured.

COOK MEATAND POULTRY'THOROUGHLY'...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughlg-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultrg to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l 80°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
OVEN
Stand awag from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eges.
Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Place the oven shelves in the desired position
while the oven iscool.
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy 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 injury.
Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start
a fire and result in high carbon monoxide.
WARNING: NEVERcover
ang slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire shelf with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and mag cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings mag also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Do not use gour oven to drg newspapers. If overheated, theg can catch fire.
Use onlg glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens. Alwogs remove ong broiler pan from range
as soon as gou finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame, the fat mag ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Make sure ang broiler pan is in place correctlg
to reduce the possibilitg of grease fires.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
If gou should have o grease fire in o broiler pan, turn off the oven control, and keep
the broiler drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
For safetg and proper cooking performance,
alwags bake and broil with the oven door closed.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
For continuous clean models, do not use oven cleaners on ong of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces con
be identified bg their rough surface finish.
IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan s/zeJavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat 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. Use pans with handles that can be easil_lgrasped and remain cool.
Always use the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on standing pilot models) when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited.
Never 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.
Use only 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.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.
To 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.
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.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Do 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.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
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.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
6
Keep 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.
SURFACEBURNERS(cont.)
ge.com
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot
models), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to relight the pilot. When
relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls are in the off position, and follow instructions
in this book to relight.
If you smell gas, and you have already made
sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn offthe gas to the range and call a
qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the grates, even when the cooktop is not being used.
Keeprange clean and free of accumulations
of grease or spillovers,which may ignite.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Before Lighting o Gas Burner
If drip pans are supplied with gour range,
theg should be usedat all times.
Makesure all burners are in place. Makesure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
How to Light o Gas Surface Burner Hake sure all the surface burners are placed
in their respectivepositions.
Electric Ignition Models:
Pushthe control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
Youwill hear a little clicking noise- the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner. Turnthe knobto adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around ang burner
while another burner ison. An electric shock mag result, which could cause gou to knock
over hot cookware.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
Donot operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the
grate. Thefinish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Besurethe burners and grates are cool before gou place gour hand,a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
Standing Pilot Models:
Pushcontrol knob in and turn it to HI position.
The burner should lightwithin a few seconds. Turn the knobto adjust the flame size.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightlg awag from the burner when
the burner is first turned on.A blowing or hissingsound mag be heard for
30-60 seconds.This normal sound isdue to improved injection of gas and air into
the burner. Puta pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan
sizeas soon as it lights,andthe blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable.

How to Select Flame Size
m
ge.com
Forsafehandling of cookware,neverlet the flames extendup the sides ofthe cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob,as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired,the flame
sizeon a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
Top-of-Range Cookwure
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly.Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skilletswill give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-those for oven use only and those
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee and teapots).Glassconducts heat very
slowly.
Flameslargerthan the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.
HeatproofGlass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or ovencooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and coolsvery slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined with copper,aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily if
they are usedwith medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Stove Top Grills Ionmodels with sealed burners)
Do not usestove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the
sealedgas burner,itwill cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable standards.
Wok This Way (onmodels with sealed burners)
Werecommend that you usea 14" or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Makesure the wok bottom
sitsflat on the grate. Theyore availableat
your local retailstore. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Thiscanbehazardousto your health,
Donot usea flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placingthe ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable standards. Thiscould be dangerous to your health.
In Case of Power Failure (electricignition models)
In caseof a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with
a match. Holda lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE
position. Useextreme caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurswill continue to operate

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven if the recipe callsfor it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheatingis necessary for good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,
pastry and breads.
Forovenswithout a preheat indicator light or tone,preheat 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Donot usealuminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelfwith aluminum foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be usedto catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmlessand will
evaporate asthe oven continues to heat up.
Bakingresultswill bebetter if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pansshould not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves, stagger the pans soone is not directly above
the other,and leave approximately 1W' between pans, from the front, back and sidesof the wall.

Using the oven.
Broiling
Broiling iscooking food by direct heat from above the food. Mostfish and tender cuts of
meat can be broiled. Followthese directions to keep spattering and smoking to a
minimum. Yourrange has a compartment below the
oven for broiling.
Both the ovenund broiler comportment doors must be CLOSEDduring broiling.
Turnmost foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side,
place that side down on broiler grid and cook without turning until done).Time foods for
about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to preferred
doneness.
Youcan change the distance ofthe food
%
from the heat source by positioning a broiler pan and grid on one of three shelf
positions inthe broiler compartment- A(bottom of broiler compartment), B
(middle)and C (top). Preheatingthe broiler or oven is not
[]
necessargand can produce poor results. If meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
%
cut vertical slashesthrough both about 2" apart. Ifdesired,the fat mag be
trimmed, leaving a lager about 1/8" thick.
Arrange the food on the grid and position
[]
the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf
in the oven or broiling compartment. Placingfood closer to the flame
increasesexterior browning of the
food, but also increasesspattering
and the possibilitg of fats and meat

Theovenand broiler comportment doors
must beclosedduring broiling.
Always use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to minimizesmoking and
spattering by trapping juices inthe shielded lower part of the pan.
Forsteaks and chops, slash fat evenly
around the outside edges ofthe meat. To slash,cut crosswise through the outer fat surfacejust to the edge of the meat. Use
tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercingthe meat and losingjuices.
Thesize,weight, thickness, starting temperature and Food
your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This Bacon
guide isbased on meats at refrigerator temperature.

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 least80%fat by weight. Lowfat spreads,on the other hand, contain lessfat and morewater. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. Forbest results with your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Oven Shelves
Cleonthe shelveswith an abrasive cleanser or scouring pad.After cleaning, rinse the
shelveswith cleon water and dry with a clean cloth.
Porcelain OvenInterior
With proper core,the porcelain enamel interior will retain itsattractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spilloversmay require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleanser.
Soap-filledscouring pods may also be used. Do not allow food spillswith a high sugar or acid content (suchastomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices or piefilling)to remain on the surface.They may cause dull spots even
after cleaning. Household ammonia may make the
cleaningjob easier.Place1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leavein a cold
oven overnight. Theammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on greaseand food.
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner.Followthe package directions.
Cautions about using sprag-on oven cleaners:
Becareful where the oven cleaner is
sprayed.
Donot spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches (onsome models)
because itcould cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Donot allow a film from the cleaner to remain on the temperature sensing bulb-
itcould cause the oven to heat improperly.
(Thebulb is located at the rear ofthe oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move
the bulb as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
Donot spray any oven cleaner on the
outside oven door,handles or any exterior surface of the oven,cabinet or painted surfaces.The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.

-A WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNSor other SERIOUS INJURIEScan result.
• INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting
to install. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, carefull_j tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for an_treason, alwa_ts repeat this procedure to verif_j the range isproperlbl secured bbl the anti-tip bracket.
For free standing or slide in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be
secured to the anti-tip device properly.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject
to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or
wall behind the range 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 range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (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 plywood 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 your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety
Instructions section.) Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
If blou did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1-800-626-8774 to receive one at
no cost (in Canada, call 1-800-561-3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit:
GEAppliances.com (inCanada, GEAppliances.ca).
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you'll find the model and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of
the range, behind the kick panel or broiler drawer.
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
m PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your renge is designed to operete et e pressure of 4" of weter column on neturel gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane),
10" of water column. Hake sure you are supplying your range with
the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between
4" 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 be at 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 supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply 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.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully 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 (external) pipe threads.
E_ Install a manual gas line shut-offvalve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Hake sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
i-_ 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.
F-_ 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.
[] Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
EDWhen all connections have been made,
make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints
and connections to check for leaks in the system.
WARNING - DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
[]_]CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range end 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 beck 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-piped connection.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

I-B-1ELECTRICAL CONN ECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
220-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions Because of potential safety 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 UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.
Grounding IMPORTANT--(Please read carefullg)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
_nsure proper ground
A word about GFCI's--GFCI's are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCrs) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCrs in 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 GFCI breaker is possible.
I-_ Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Infrequentlg. An adapter may be used only on a
15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapteron a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed 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 polarity in the connection of the power cord.
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
Temporarg Method
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
Ensure proper

ground and firm
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 by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
36
Instollotion Instructions
I-[I ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS (cont.)
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
I-_ Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Frequentlg. 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 2-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 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 2/4,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), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with
local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSA Z240/IVlH Mobile Home Installation Code.
[] SEAL THE OPENINGS
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.
[] LIGHT THE PILOTS
(For models equipped with standing pilots.
If the range is an electric ignition model, the burners are ignited by electric ignition which eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)

[] Check Ignition of Oven Burner
The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to a setting above 260°F. After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the OVEN CONTROL
knob. Electric ignition models require electrical power
to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow
bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,
the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.
