If the range is to be installed on an area covered with
linoleum or any other floor covering, make sure that
the floor covering can withstand 90°F (65°C) above
room temperature without warping, shrinking or discol­oring. Do not install the range over carpeting.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION:

Check that the container is upright. Check for visible
damages on the carton. If there is damage to the car­ton, contact the carrier, and request an inspection. Do
not refuse shipment but file the appropriate freight
claims. Responsibility for shipping damage is with the
carrier and dealer or end user.
Cut the shipping straps and carefully lift the carton up
from the range. Check the range for visible damage.

Do not use this range as a supplement to your furnace/
heater. It is not designed to heat up the kitchen nor
any other room. Using this appliance other than its
intended use could be dangerous.

Remove, unwrap and temporarily lay aside any part or
accessory shipped with the unit and make sure that
there are no hardware or accessories left in the box for
accidental disposal. Make sure all packing material

and literature are removed from the oven before
connecting gas and electrical supply to the range.

TYPICAL FOR ALL MODELS

LEGS INSTALLATION

The stainless steel legs are wrapped and packed sepa­rately in the oven. The legs must be installed near
where the range is to be used to avoid pushing or slid­ing the range that could cause damage to the legs and
to the floor covering. To install the legs it is strongly
recommended that a lift jack be used to lift the range
completely. Then screw the legs tightly to the bottom
of the range. The distance between the top of the range
(not including the cast iron grates) to the floor must be
at least 36 inches. The legs can be adjusted up to 2
inches higher by turning the stainless steel adjustable
feet using a 1” open end or adjustable wrench. Adjust
the legs so that the top of the range is even or higher
than the counter top.

IMPORTANT:
NEVER SET THE RANGE LOWER THAN THE
COUNTER TOP. THE HEAT FROM THE TOP BURN­ERS CAN DAMAGE THE COUNTER TOP.

For proper baking results, it is important that the range
is leveled. To level the range:

1. Use a 1” open end or adjustable wrench. Turn the
adjustable feet equally until the top of the range is even
or higher than the counter top.

2. Install the oven racks.

3. Put a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially
filled with water on one of the oven racks.

4. Adjust the legs’ feet using the wrench.

3

CASTERS INSTALLATION:

Casters are used for easy access in servicing or clean­ing the appliance. However, unlike the legs, casters
are not adjustable. Any adjustment needed for level­ing the range is accomplished by placing shims on the
floor. When checking to see if the range is level, al­ways use a spirit level or glass measuring cup placed
on one of the racks. It is extremely important for proper
baking results that the racks are leveled.
When installing casters, it is strongly recommended
that a lift jack be used to lift the range completely.
Install the two casters without brakes to the rear. In­stall the two casters with brakes to the front for acces­sibility.
After the range is set and leveled on its final location,
set the caster brakes on to prevent movement of the
range under normal use.

IMPORTANT: The top of the range must be even or
higher than the counter top. The heat from the top burn­ers can damage the counter top.

When the appliance is installed with casters, it must be
installed with the casters supplied, a connector com­plying with ANSI Z21.69 and a quick disconnect de­vice complying with ANSI Z21.41. It must also be in­stalled with restraining means to guard against trans­mission of strain to the connector.
Below is a typical restraining device.

CURB BASE INSTALLATION

The curb base must be installed after the range has
been leveled and set properly in its final location.
To install the curb base, simply remove the kick plate
(the panel immediately below the oven door) and lo­cate the mounting holes at the front of the range base.
Secure the curb base to the front of the range base
using the two hexagonal sheet metals screws provided
with the curb base. If the legs are adjusted to the
minimum height of 4 inches, the curb base can have
0 to 1/8 gap between the floor. When the legs are
adjusted higher, the gap can be as high as 2 inches
which may not be visually objectionable and not need
a filler. If a filler is desired, build a filler attached to the
floor or to the adjacent cabinets using screws or other
removable fasteners, so that the range can be readily
removed if necessary.
