This standard does not cover the thermal
efficiency of household cooking gas
appliances since it is regulated by the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975,
the National Energy Conservation Policy Act
of 1978 and the National Appliance Energy
Conservation Act of 1987.
If the oven is to be installed in a mobile
home, the installation must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24, CFR, Part 3280 or,
when not applicable, the Standard for

The cabinet must have solid sides,
back and bottom. The bottom must
be solid either at floor level or with
the bottom edge of the cutout. Any
openings around the gas or electrical outlets
must be sealed. All cabinet openings must be
sealed at the time of installation to prevent
drafts. Drafts will affect safe use of the oven.
SPECIAL NOTES:
• Make sure the oven is installed at the specified
height. The unit has been tested and approved for
installation, in accordance with safety standards at
this height.
• If the floor is to be the solid bottom, two runners,
centered within the cutout opening 11" apart may
be used to support the oven. These runners must
support 130 Ibs. and must be level and straight.
• The wall coverings, countertops and cabinets
around the oven should be able to withstand
temperatures of up to 200°F generated by
the oven.
IF YOU ARE REPLACING A UNIT
THAT HAS A CUTOUT HEIGHT
OF MORE THAN 38":
Shut off the main gas supply before removing
the existing oven. Leave the gas off until the
new hookup is complete.
[] Measure how much your cutout height
exceeds 38".

Installation Instructions
INSTALL THE OVEN
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be
used to operate the electrical parts of your oven.
r_ The oven cord has a three-prong plug and
must be used with a properly grounded
three-hole outlet with a standard 120 Volt,
60 cycle AC household current.
Install the electrical outlet below the oven
@
on the left side, in a location that is easily
reached through the cabinet doors
(see Fig. 6).
If you do not have a three-hole grounded
[]
outlet, have a qualified electrician change
your old one.
A grounding adaptor will be needed to
@
convert the old one until the outlet can be
replaced. This method is only temporary,
and a qualified electrician should test it to
be sure it meets requirements.
Always unplug the oven cord before making any
electrical repairs to the oven. When unplugging
the oven, always grasp the plug, never the cord.
WARNING: NEVERUSEAN
EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE OVEN
TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.

WARNING: oonotoperate
the burners of this oven when using L.P.
(bottled) gas before converting the pressure
regulator and burner orifice for L.P. gas
usage.
See page 2 for all gas requirements.
_] Shut off the gas supply at the shut-off valve.
_'] Remove the existing oven (if necessary).
_'] Discard any old or used connectors.
WARNING: Never reuse old
flexible connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and
personal injury. Always use new connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
[_] Be sure no strain has been placed on the
connecting line assembly.
To prevent any leaks, use a pipe joint
compound that resists the action of L.R gas
on the male outside threads.
Use a 1/2" gas inlet pipe.
The hole for the inlet pipe should be 8 1/2"
min. to 9 5/8" max. right of the centerline
and 23" behind the front surface of the
cabinet.

5" W.C. for Natural.
CAUTION: The range and
its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the
gas supply system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (pound per square inch
gauge).
The range must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual

I-8-1CHECK THE BURNER FLAMES
FOR NATURAL GAS
The oven is factory-adjusted for use with Natural
Gas in most areas. But, since the gas in some
areas may vary, you should check all adjustments
described below. If you are to use L.P. Gas, see
L.P.Adjustments at the back of this guide.
NOTE: Bake and broil flame must be checked
with the door closed to properly check flame
characteristics. To properly check the bake burner,
the oven bottom and oven baffle must be removed.
Turn on the bake or broil burner.
As you watch the flame with the oven door
closed, check the following through the oven
door window:
1. Burner flames should not flutter or blow
away from the burner.
2. They should be blue in color with no trace
of yellow.
3. The inner cone of the flame should be
approximately 1/2" to 3/4" long.
BURNERS SHOULD BE CHECKED FREQUENTLY.

the original setting.
Make the adjustment.
r-G-] Retighten the air shutter screw.
[] Close the door and recheck the flame.
When the results are satisfactory:
1. Replace the orifice fitting cover.
2. Replace the oven baffle (flame spreader).
3. Replace the oven bottom.
