IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

• Do not try to light any appliance. Do not

touch any eJectricaJ switch; do not use any

phone in your buiJding.

• JmmediateJy caJJ your gas suppJier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas suppJier's

instructions.

• if you cannot reach your gas suppJier,

caJJ the fire department.

This range has been design certified by

UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES for use in

the United States and Canada. You'll find

safety precautions in your Owner's Manual. Read them carefully.

• Installation of this range must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes

with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest edition.

Be sure your range is installed properly by

a qualified installer or service technician. To eliminate reaching over surface burners,

cabinet storage above burner should be avoided.

• Do not install the unit near an outside door

or where a draft may affect its use,

installation and service must be performed by a quaJified instaJJer, service agency or the gas suppJier.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING - For personal safety,

remove house fuse or open circuit breaker

before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death,

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet

storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that protrudes at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13".

Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

AWARNING - Toreducetherisk

of tipping, the appliance must be secured by properly installed Anti-Tip bracket packed with this appliance.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909. Skip Steps 4, 19

and 21. To check if the bracket is installed and

engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The anti-tip bracket should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

-&WARNING -

• All ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

• Install Anti-Tip bracket packed with range

• See Installation Instructions

If you pull the range out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket is engaged when the range is pushed back against the wall.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and connected

to an individual, properly grounded branch

circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having a recommended amperage rating per

the table below.

BREAKER OR FUSE SIZE

240V I 40 Amps 208V I 40 Amps

NOTE: Check Local Codes for required breaker size,

Rating plate is located above the storage drawer below the oven frame.

Rating plate location

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have

the electrician show you where your main

range disconnect is located. Check with your local utilities for electrical

codes which apply in your area. Failure to

wire your range according to governing

codes could result in a hazardous condition.

If there are no codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.

70-Latest edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National

Electrical Code requires that new, but not

existing, construction utilize a four-conductor

connection to an electric range. When installing

an electric range in new construction, a mobile

home, recreational vehicle or an area where

local codes prohibit grounding through the

neutral conductor, follow the instructions in the

section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-

CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT

CONNECTION.

In Canada your range must be wired and

fused to meet the requirements of the

Canadian Electrical Code.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase

A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz

Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line in an easily accessible location.

[]

Know how and where to shut off the gas supply to the range.

[]

Shut off gas supply before removing an old range. Leave it off until hookup of new range is finished.

[]

Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we recommend use of a C.S.A. certified flexible metal appliance

connector.

WARNING: Never reuse old

flexible connectors. The use of old flexible

Installation Instructions

INSTALL THE RANGE (CONT.)

[] CHECK FOR LEAKS Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid

leak detector (soap solution) at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Do not use an

open flame to look for leaks. Be sure all leaks are stopped before lighting burners.

[] PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION The maximum allowable supply pressure

for the regulator is 14" W.C. The minimum supply pressure needed to check the regulator setting is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for LP gas.

-4,WARNING: The range and its

individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds per square inch gauge). The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or greater than

1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.

[] CHECK THE IGNITERS Operation of the electric igniters should be

checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical

power. a. Turn on gas.

b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE

position.

• The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner.

• Once the burner lights, it should be

turned out of the LITE position.

c. Try each valve separately until all burners

have been checked.

[] BURNER IGNITION

Cooktop Spark Ignition--When you turn

the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter

makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following

the steps below.

WARNING: Lighting gas burners

with a match is dangerous. You should match

light the cooktop burners only in an emergency.

a. Light a match and hold the flame near the

burner you want to light. Wooden matches

work best.

b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.

Be sure you are turning the correct knob

for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait 5 minutes before trying again.

[] BURNER FLAMES Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from

the burner. The flame should be no less than

1/4" on the lowest setting and no greater than 1-1/2" on highest setting.

Burners should be checked frequently

WARNING: .you attempt

to measure the flame, please use caution.

Burns could result.
