WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

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.

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 orhood.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

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

_{_:Haxe your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be
perfot_ned only by qualified gas rang>

installers or service technicians.

_t{:_Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manna], All other
service should be refe[Ted to a qua]ified

technician,

,&WARNING:NEVERusethis

appliance as a space hearer to heat or

warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oxen.

_;:Ping yonr rang_ into a 190_\_lt grounded

Y_u can use almnimm/foil to line tile
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

you must mold tile fi)il tightly to tile

Oven Moisture

_s w)ur {wen heats Ill), tile temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to titan on tile door glass.
These droplets are hamfless and will

evapoi'ate as tile oven contintles to heat ill).

Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in tile oven as much as

possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If w_u need to

use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not direct.Iv above the other; and leave

approMmately 1½" between pans, fl'om
the fl'ont, back and sides of the wall.

Mmninmn fi)il may also be used m catch
a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of

foil on a lower shelf several inches below

Never entirely cover a shelf with almninmn
toil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

ge.cmn

Broiling is (ooldng tbod by direct heat fi'om
abo\e the toed. Most fish and tender cuts of

meat can be broiled. Follow these directions
to keep spattering and smoldng to a

I//illil//Ill/l,

Your range has a compartment below the []

oven for broiling.

Both the ovenand broiler compartment doors
must he closed during broiling.

Turn most toods once during cooking (tile
exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side,

place that side down on broiler grid and
cook without tm'ning smfil done). Time

fi)ods flw about one-half the total cooking []

tin/e, tSli'n f()()(l, then contills/e to cook to

pre_brred doneness. []

[] You can change tile distance of tile

food from tile heat sosn'ce bx
positioning the broiler pan and grid

on one of three shelf positions ill the
broiler c(mq)al-tment_ (bottom of

broiler compamnent), B (middle)
and C (top).

If meat has fi_t or gristle at(rand the

[]

edge, cut vertical slashes through both
about 2" apml. If desired, the lift me)

be trimmed, leaxing a laxer about

1/8" thick.

Arrlmge tile fi_od on tile grid and
position the broiler pan on the

appropriate shelf in the oven or
broiling compartment. Hacing toed

closer to tile flame increases exterior
browning of tile toed, but also

Adjusttheoventhermostat--Doityourself! _e.com

Youmay 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 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 vary 20_40 degrees.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fatproducts 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 stnndards reqtlire prodtl('ts labeled "inargarii_e" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I,ow tilt spreads, on tile

other hand, contain less tilt and Inore wateI: Tile high Inoismre content of these spreads affects tile texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with umr old til\.orim recipes, rise malgaline, butter or stick spreads coi_taildng at least

70% vegetable oil.

-&WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could

result.

@

®

• For your safety, never use your range for
warming or heating the room. Your oven
and cooktop are not designed to heat
your kitchen. Top burners should not be
operated without cookware on the grate.
Such abuse could result in fire and damage
to your range and will void your warranty.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any 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.

To prevent accidental tipping of the
range, attach an approved Anti-Tip
device to the wall. (See Installing

the Anti-Tip Device in 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 you pull the range out from the
wall for any reason, make sure the
Anti-Tip device is engaged when
you push the range back against

the wall.

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.)

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.

28

Installation instructions

[] 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 column.
Make 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.

[] 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
International-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, 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.

[]

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve Nn
the gas line in an easily accessed location

outside of the range. Make sure everyone
operating the range knows where and how

to shut off the gas supply to the range.

[]

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.

[]

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.

[]

When 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 - DoNOTUSEAFLAME

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

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.

Electrical Requirements

120-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 carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY

GROUNDED.

Preferred Method

E_lsure proper ground

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.

exists before use

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 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 GFCI's
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.

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power

Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a

15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter

on 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.

Temporary Method

(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)

Ensure proper

ground and

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.

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.

33

Installation instructions

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (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.

[]

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 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 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),
ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with
local codes. In Canada, mobile home

[] 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.)

The range should be installed in its
permanent position before any pilots
are lit or adjusted.

CAUTION - Make sure the surface

burner control knobs are in the OFF position
before attempting to light the pilots.

[] Light the Surface Burner Pilots

1. Raise the cooktop.

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.

[] Adjust Broil Burner Air Adjustment

To Remove the Broiler Drawer:

1. Pull the drawer out until it stops, then
push it back in about one inch.

2. Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler
drawer out.

Loosen

ustment

Metal shield

(on some models)

On some models, remove the metal
shield at the rear of the cavity.

To adjust the flow of air to the burner,
loosen the Phillips-head screw and rotate

the shutter to allow more or less air into
the burner tube.

With the oven bottom removed,
properly adjusted flames should have

approximately 1" blue cones and, if range
is supplied with natural gas, should burn

with no yellow tipping. (With most LP

gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer
cones are normal.) Flames should not

lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed,
gradually reduce air shutter opening

until flames are stabilized.
The shutter for the oven burner is near

the back wall of the oven and behind the

broiler drawer.

LIGHT THE PILOTS (cont.)

[]

Check ignition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners
should be checked after pilots have been
lighted (on some models) and the range
and gas supply lines have been carefully

checked for leaks.
Standing Pilot Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to HI position. The burner
should light within a few seconds. Try each

burner in succession until all burners have
been checked.

Electric ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously

push in and turn to LITE position. You will
hear a clicking sound indicating proper
operation of the spark module. Once the air
has been purged from the supply lines,
burners should light within 4 seconds. After
burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE
position. Try each burner in succession until

all burners have been checked.

[] Replace Oven Parts

After all adjustments are made, replace
the broiler drawer, oven bottom, shelves
and oven door.

Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames

needs to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames--

Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on

outer cones--

Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue

flames--Normal
for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), call for service.
Normal burner flames should look like (B) or

(C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer

cones is normal.
