iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING - Iftheinformation

in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire,
explosion or gas leak may result causing
property damage, personal injury or death.

Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance!

WHAT TO DO iF YOU
SMELL GAS:

,, Do not try to light any appliance. Do not

touch any electrical switch; do not use any

phone in your building.

,, immediately call your gas supplier from a

neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

,, If you cannot reach your gas supplier,

call the fire department.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

-&WARNING - Forpersonalsafety,

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.

installation and service must be performed

by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS-

(cont.)

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
electrical system.

instructions shipped with the bracket for complete

details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged

properly, remove the storage drawer or kick
panel and look underneath the range to see that

the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On

models without a storage drawer or kick panel,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket
should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does

not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is

pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly
secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely

remove the leveling legs or the range will not be

r_ 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: Therangeandits

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.

[=D-] 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.

r_ 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
