WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The Califomia 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 worn 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 LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than o yellow flame will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances con be minimized by venting with on open window or using o ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range

installers or service technicians.

;_i:,:Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual, All other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

_t_:_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.

Page 4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

_t_:_Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent 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.

;_::,:Besure your range is correctlg adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation of the range section.

WARNING:These adjustments must

_t_::After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl 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. They could be seriouslg burned.

_ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or

hang on the oven door,warming drawer or cooktop. Theycould damage the range and

even tip it over, causing severepersonal injury,

CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a

range or on the backsplash of a range-

children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriouslg injured.

_::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 may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan, Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner

by covering the pan completely with a

well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-type fire extinguishe[

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or,

if available, by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-tgpe fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven or warming drawer can

be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-tgpe fire extinguisheE

;_i:,:Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

;;i:,:Never block the vents (air openings)of the

range, They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate

properlg with correct combustion. Air openings are 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 warming drawer

;_i_,:Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstobfe or eosify tipped, Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To ovoid spiffovers, 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 spiffovers left on range con ignite, Use pans with handles that con be easily grasped and remain cool,

;_):,:Always use the LITE position when igniting the

top burners and make sure the burners have

ignited.

_t:::Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boiloverscause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_t:::Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

;_i:,: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.

_i:,:When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

_t:::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

;_i:,:Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

:_ Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats. _t_:_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.

_t::_Ifa combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowlg.

;_i:,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_t::_Usethe 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. Ifyou do

flume foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

_t_:_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.

_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer, Wait until the fat is cool.

;_i:,: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 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.

;_i:,: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.

;_):,:Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

_:_Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop

can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

Thetgpeof margarine will affect baking performance!

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 con result if cokes, 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 least 80% fat by weight. Lowfat spreads,onthe

other hand, contain lessfat andmore water The high moisture content ofthese spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods.Forbest resultswith your old favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

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

• 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.

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.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions

section.) Hake sure the wall coverings around your range can

withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)by the range. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions section.)

• 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.

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Page 40

Installation Instructions

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural 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 isconvertible for use on natural or

propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must be made by a qualified LPinstaller before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5" 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 supplg valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until

the new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to

relight the pilot on other gas appliances when gou 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.

A. Install a manual gas line shut-off 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.

B. 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.

When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

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.

D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

E.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: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECKFORGASLEAKS.

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 CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements

You must use a 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded

dedicated circuit protected bg a 1S-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delag 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-tgpe appliance extension

cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the circuit

rating. Grounding IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully} FORPERSONALSAFETY,THIS APPLIANCEMUSTBE

PROPERLYGROUNDED.

Method

Preferred

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibilitg of electric shock hazard from

this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit

checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. DO NOT, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUTOR REMOVE

THE THIRD (GROUND)PRONG FROMTHE POWERCORD. A word about GFCI's- GFCI'sare 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 athreshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset bg the consumeE The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI'sin 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 GFCIbreaker is possible.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS [CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be

Disconnected Infrequentlg.

An adapter may be used only on a iS-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION maNbe made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle bg 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 polaritg in the connection of the power cord.

Temporarg Method

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large

prongs/slots

Ensure proper ground

and firm connection

before use

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 bg a qualified electrician to

make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, alwags hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal isverg likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USEthe appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

Page 44

Installation Instructions

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be

Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting the power cord places undue strain on

the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter

ground terminal. The customer should have the two- 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 Hanufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part 3280

(formerly the Federal Standard for Hobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,Part 280) or,

when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Hanufactured 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/CSAZ240/MH Hobile Home Installation

Code.

Electric Disconnect

• Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

• Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.
