IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act

requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn 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 LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by

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 device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

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 SERIOUSLY INJURED.

●

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, broiler drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

●

Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

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

●

Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance.

Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

● 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

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

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

1. 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.

2. Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the

regulator. On models equipped with dual burners, install the male pipe thread end of the 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure 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.

3. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shutoff valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

5. 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME 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 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.

With the baffle 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

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. With the baffle in place, or with the oven bottom in place

3. Use a or adjustable wrench to back out the front leveling legs two turns.

4. Install the oven shelves in the oven and position the range where it will be installed.

5. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the oven racks. If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.

6. Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

7. After the range is level, slide the range away from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed.
