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 ofpotential 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

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--a void 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 Life position (on electcic
ignition models) or die Nlposition (on

standing pilot models) when igniting tile

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil

/

You can use ahmfimm/foil to line tile

broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
you must mold tile fi)il tightly to tile
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Oven Moisture

_s your (wen heats up, tile temperature
change ot the air in the oven may cause

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

ex'aporate 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 wm need to

use two shelves, stagger tile pans so one
is not directly above tile 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 to catch
a spilhwe_: To do so, place a small sheet of

fifil on a lower shelf se\'eral inches below
the tood.

Nex'er entirely cover a shelf with almninmn
fifil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

Broiling Guide Suggestions

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

_Mwa_:suse the broiler pan and grid that

comes with your range. It is designed
to minimize smoking and spattering by

trai)pingjuices in the shiehled lower

part of the pan.
For steaks and chops, slash e_t evenly

around the outside edges of the meat.
To slash, cut crosswise through the

outer fiK sm_i_ce just to the edge of
the meat. Use tongs to turI] the meat

over to prevent piercing the meat and

losing juices.

If desired, marinate meats or chicken

before broiling. Or brush with barbecue
sauce last 5-10 miI]utes oI]h'.

When arranging the ff>od on the pan,

(11tnot let fi_tty edges hang over the sides

because dripping ti_t could soil the oven.
The broiler comi)artment does not need

to be preheated. Howe\'e_; tot very thin

t0ods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired.

Frozen steaks can be broiled bv
positioning the shelf at the next lowest

shelf position and increasing the cooking

time given in this guide 1½ times per side.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fatproducts such as butter or margarine (80% fat). ff you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with ahigher fat product.

Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat

content of aspread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fi_t by weight. I,ow fi_t spreads, on the
other hand, contain less ti_t and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the textm'e and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with umr old tin.ofim recipes, use mmgmine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Careand cleaningof therange.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure theanti-tip device
is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

LOCATION

ANT oT P DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury couJd

result.

@

®

e 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 couJd result in fire and damage
to your range and wilt 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.

e 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 wail. {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-lip
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-1]p device is engaged when
you push the range back against

the wail.

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.

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE

GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a
pressure of 4" of water cotumn 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
cohmn.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must
be between 10" and 13" of water cohmn.

When checking for proper operation of

the regulator, the inlet pressure must be

at teast 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 tine regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used

to connect the range to the gas supply

tine should have an i.D. of 1/2" and be
5 feet in length for ease of installation.

tn 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 suppty valve
before disconnecting the old range and
leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to reiight

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
tnternationaFcertified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended
unless locat 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 shutoff valve in
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
shutoff 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 shutoff 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 shutoff valve.

20amp 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 stilt elect

to use an extension cord, it is absolutely

necessary that it be a UL listed, 3wire
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.

Preferred Method

E21sure 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.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUT OR REMOVE THE THmRD (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

JnstaJJation instructions

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS {cont.}

When disconnecting the power cord from

the adapter, ah_vays hold the adapter with

one hand. Jf 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 Appmianee Power
Cord wiJJ be Disconnected FrequentJy.

Do not use an adapter phJg 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.

(For models equipped with standing
pilots. Jf the range is an electdc 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 PHots

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 untin 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
wiil not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

if the oven is in use when a power outage
occurs, the burner wiil shut off and cannot
be re-lit until power is restored.

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 wail of the oven and behind the
