IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

●

The

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act

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,

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 a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an

open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Range

●

Have the installer show you the location of the

range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off

if necessary.

●

Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer,

with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

●

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended in this guide.

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, prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

●

before operating it to prevent fire or

smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

●

Be sure your range is correctly 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 Instructions.

WARNING: These adjustments must be made by qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

“

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 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.

●

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet

tlat

tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

or foam-type fire extinguisher.

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-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a

tnulti-purpose

dry chemical or

foam-

type fire extinguisher.

●

Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a

range broiler or storage 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 APPLIANCE.

●

Do

not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

●

When cooking pork,

follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

17(PF.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Surface Cooking

●

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

4

s

Always use the LITE position (on electric

ignition models) or the HI position (on standing pilot models) when igniting the top burners

and

make sure the burners have ignited.

●

Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings.

Boilovers

cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

●

Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

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.

●

To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

●

Always turn the surface burners to

removing cookware.

●

Carefully watch foods being fried at a

high

flame setting.

●

Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range.

They provide the air inlet and

outlet

that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom

ot

the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the broiler drawer.

●

Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners

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.

●

Use

size—Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boilovers

and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate, This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

●

Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

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.

●

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.

●

When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

●

If range is located near a window,

do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

●

When a pilot goes out

(on standing pilot models),

you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal

to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot,

make sure burner controls are in the off position,

and follow instructions in this book to relight.

●

If you smell gas,

and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the gas to the range and

call

a qualified service technician.

Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

●

Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

●

Place the oven shelves in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

NOTE:

There must be at least a half-hour difference between the DELAY START and STOP TIME dials, and times can be set only up to 11 hours

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as

much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Allow

1 – to 1 ‘/~–inch space between pans as

well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If

Installation Code,

current Propane Installation Code,

CAN/CGA-B149.l or the

CAN/CGA-

B149.2, and with local codes where applicable.

This range has been

design-cert~led

by the American Gas Association according to ANSI

Z21.1,

latest edition and Canadian Gas Association

according to

CAN/CGA-l.l

latest edition. As with

any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions in the

Important Safety Instructions in the front of this guide. Read them carefully.

●

Have your range installed by a qualified

installer or service technician.

● Your range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence

of local codes, in accordance with the National

Electrical Code

(ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).

In Canada, electrical grounding must be in

C22.1

accordance with the current CSA

Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See Electrical Connections in this section,

● Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

180°E

the floor covering can withstand

without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4” thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

● Make sure the wall coverings around the

range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200” I?

●

Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a

ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least 5“ beyond the front of the cabinets.

● The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Install

above the cooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4” between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must beat least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

● If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a

minimum clearance of 30” between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

● If a 30” clearance between cooking surface

and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4” insulating

millboard

covered

with sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick.

● Clearance between the cooking surface and

protected cabinets MUST

NEVER

BE LESS

THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from

the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than

1“ to the plane of the range sides must not be less than 18”, (See Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this section.)

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.

s

For your safe~, 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

● 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.

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 this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The

fires could result.

pROvlDE ADEQUATE GAS SUpplY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4“ of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10” of water column. Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to use this range on a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other qualified person before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4“ 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 supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until

new hook-up has been completed. Don’t

forget

to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the

range, the use of an A. G. A.-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.

CHECK IGNITION

Surface Burner Ignition

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks.

Electric Ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a snapping sound indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should

light

within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

E CHECK

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN SET knob to to a setting above 300” E After 30-90 seconds, oven burner will ignite and burn until the temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the OVEN TEMP knob.

To check ignition of the broil burner, turn the

OVEN SET knob to BROIL and the OVEN

TEMP knob to BROIL. After 30-90 seconds, the

broil burner will ignite. Electric ignition models require electrical

power to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be power is restored.
