OMPORTANT SAFETY NSTRUCTBONS

o 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.

This range has been design-certified by the American
Gas Association according to ANSI Z21°1, latest edi-
tion. As with any appliance using gas and generating
heat, there are certain safety precautions you should
follow. You will find these precautions at the beginning
of the Use and Care section of this book. Read them

carefully,
o Have your range installed by a qualified installer or

service technician_

o Your range must be electrically grounded in accor-

dance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Electrical

Code (ANSt!NFPA 70, latest edition). See Electrical
Connections in this section,

oBefore installing your range on linoleum or any other

synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering
can withstand 180°F. without shrinking, warping or
discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless a sheet of 1/4" thick plywood or similar insu_
lator 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°E

oAvoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce

the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames

of operating burners, instalt a ventilation hood over

the range that projects forward at least 5" beyond
the front of the cabinets.

oThe ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet

metal not less than 00122" thick_ Install above the
cooking top with a clearance of not less than 1/4"
between the hood and the underside of the com-
bustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must be
at least as wide as the appliance and centered over
the appliance. Clearance beb_veen the cooking sur-

face and the ventilation hood surface iVlUST NEVER

BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

o if cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-

mum clearance of 30" between the cooking surface
and the bottom of unprotected cabinets..

o 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 cooking top with not less than

1/4" insulating millboard covered with sheet metal
not less than Q0122" thick_

oClearance between the cooking surface and protect-

ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24
INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of

the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent over-
head 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 sec-
tion.)

o Caution: Items of interest to children should not be

stored in cabinets above a range or on the back-
splash of a range--children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING

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 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 AntFTip device is engaged when you
push the range back against the wallo

o For your safety, never use your range for warming

or heating the room. Your oven and range top 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..

o Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline

or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other applianceo Explosions or fires
could result.

. Do not use oven for a storage area, Items stored in

the oven can ignite.

o Do not let cooking grease or other flammable mate-

rials accumulate in or near the range.

BnstaHationInstructions

GENERAL

oSee Dimensions and Clearances in this section for

all rough-in and spacing dimension& These dimen-
sions must be met for safe use of your range. The
location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see
Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be
adjusted to meet specific requirements..

oThe range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush)

at the back wall and side walls of the range.,

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong draft& Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by car-

peting or woodwork..

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

",(our range, like many other household items, is heavy

and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cush-

ioned 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 your floor..

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at

the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the

range to be moved for cleaning or servicing..

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model and
serial numbers on a label on the front frame of the

range, behind the storage drawer, broiler drawer or

kick panel (depending on model).

TOOLS YOU WiLL NEED

• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
o Pencil and ruler

° Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)
o 1%" open-end or adjustable wrench

o Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/16" and t/4"

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

Q

O

Gas line shut-off valve

Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread tape

with Teflon* that resists action of natural and LP
gases

° Flexible metal appliance connector (I/2" ].D.)_ A 5-

foot length is recommended for ease of installation

but other lengths are acceptable. Never use an old
connector when installing a new ranger

o Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply line

(3/4" or t/2" NPT x 1t2" IoD.)

PREPARATION

o Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the cooktop

(on models with dual burners) and remove any pack-
ing material under it. Make sure the dual burners are
properly seated and level.

o Remove plastic film that covers some chrome parts

(around oven door, side trim).
oTake the accessory pack out of the oven.,
oCheck to be sure that no range parts have come

loose during shipping..

St®p I

Provide 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 convert-

ible 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 sup-

plied 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 operat-

ing (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 appli-

ance connector used to connect the range to the gas

supply line should have an 1..D.of 1/2" and be 5 feet in

length for ease of instatlation.

2

Connect the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnect-

ing 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 AG.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.

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 pres-

sures of i/2 psig or less to test the gas supply sys-
tem, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

Step 3

Electrical Connections (for Models
Equipped with Electric ignition)

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse,,

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with
certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord° However, if you still elect
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary
that it be a ULqisted, 3-wire grounding4ype appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,
the branch circuit rating,

Grounding--IMPORTANT (Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST

BE PROPERLY GROUNDED,
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a stan-

dard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to mini-

mize the possibility of

electric shock hazard

from this appliance

The customer should

have the wall receptacle

and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to

make sure the recepta-

cle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-

PREFERRED
METHOD =

prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the person-

al responsibility and obligation of the customer to have

it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle_

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM

THE POWER CORD.

Normal NnstaHation Steps (continued>

A: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord
will be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuiL Do
not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where,.J_:acat

codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available
at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall recep.o
tacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cor&

BEFORE USE

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO

NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has

again been established.

B: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord
will be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fail-
ure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a quali-
fied electrician before using the appliance°

The installation of appliances designed for mobile
home installation must conform with the Manufactured

Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,
Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable,
the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, lat-
est edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities
and Set-Ups), ANSI A225ol, latest edition, or with

local codes°

The oven burner will operate until the set temperature

is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on
and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the tem-
perature indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob

Step G

Check ignition of Surface Burners

Surface Burner mgnition

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be
checked after the pilots have been lighted (on some
models) and range and gas supply lines have been
carefully checked for leaks.

Standing Piaot Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in
and turn to HI position° The burner should light within
a few seconds. Try each burner in succession until all
burners have been checked°

Electric Ignition ModeBs

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 mod-

ule_ 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°

Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually,

(A) Yellow flames--
Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on

outer cones--
Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue flames--
Normal for natural gas

• If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal
burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending

on the type of gas you use.

oWith LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is

normal.

Step 3'

Check ignition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automati-
cally, To operate the oven, turn the OVEN CONTROL
knob to a setting above 200°E After 30-90 seconds, the
oven burner will ignite and burn until the set tempera-
ture is reached, The oven burner will continue to cycle
on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the
temperature indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob_

Electric ignition models require electrical power to

operate. The oven cannot be lit during a power

outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hoL
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the

oven burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored_

Adjusting the Air Adjustment Shutter if
Necessary

To determine if the oven burner flames are burning prop-

erly, first remove the oven bottom and the burner baffle.

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove knurled screws holding down rear of oven
bottom

2. Grasp oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

3. Lift rear of oven bottom enough to clear the lip of
range frame, then pull out.

Remove Screw

Burner Baffle

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 yellow tips at the end
of outer cones are normal,) With the baffle in place, the
flames should burn steady and should not extend past
the edges of the burner baffle. Flames should not lift off
burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air
shutter opening until flames are stabilized,

The shutter for the oven burner is near the back wall
of the oven and behind the broiler drawer_ To remove
the broiler drawer:

1. Putt the drawer out until it stops, then push it back
in about one inch_

2. Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out.

on some models

To remove the burner baffle (on some models):

1. Use a nut driver to remove the 1/4" hex-head
screw shown in the illustration above, Do not

remove any other screws.

2. Pull baffle straight out until it is free from the slot

that holds it at rear of oven.

Remove the metal shield at the rear of the drawer
cavity. The air adjustment shutter is behind this shield.
To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the

Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter to allow

more or less air into the burner tube

How to Convert the Range for Use with LP Gas or NaturaUGas

Prepare Range for Conversion

CAUTION--Before converting the range:

(1) Turn off gas supply at the wall and
(2) Turn off the electrical power to the range.

tf range has not yet been connected to gas supply,
or if flexible connection was made, range may be

pulled out from the wall to make conversion easier.

Tools Required:

T-10 Torxdriver (for sealed burners)

I/2" and 3/4" open-end wrench
Flat blade screwdriver (small)
Nut drivers or wrenches: 7mm or 5/16"

(depending on the size of the spuds)

[

WARNING: Do not remove the pressure regulator from the range

Step t

Convert The Pressure ReguUator

1. For models equipped with sealed burners, remove
the storage drawer, broiler drawer or kick panel and

locate the pressure regulator at rear of the range

Remove Screws __._

Access Cover

On some models, you may have to remove an access
cover also

For models equipped with dual burners, remove the
cooktop and locate the pressure regulator at right rear
of range

2. Determine which figure, A or B, is appropriate for

your regulator type.

If it is regulator A:

1. Use a coin to remove the cap from the pressure reg-
ulator

2, Turn the cap over and hook it into the slots.

The type of gas to be used should now be visible on
the top of the cap.

If it is regulator B:

1. Unscrew the plastic-protected hex-nut cap from the
regulator

2. Carefully pry the protective plastic cap off
the threaded metal cap Gently pull the plastic wash-
er off the threads on the other side of the metal cap

3. Push the plastic cap onto the end of the metal cap
displaying the type of gas you are converting to_

Press the attached plastic washer onto the threads

on the other side of the metal cap

4. Screw the hex-nut cap back into the regulator. Do

not overtighten

Burner Base

Orifice Spud

1. Remove grates, burner caps and burner heads.

2. Remove burner bases by unscrewing the 3 small
screws in each base. Lift burner straight out.

DO NOT disconnect the wires from the burner
bases unless the cooktop needs to be raised,

3. Remove the brass orifice spud under each burner

base by unscrewing the spud from the fitting with a
7mm or 5/16" wrench (depending on the size of
your spuds), Apply a 314" wrench to the hex on
the gas inlet tube as a back_up when removing
spud to prevent the aluminum tube from
twisting.

4. install orifice spuds acc__qording,to one of the

following diagrams (see _ or L_), for LP gas or
natural gas, depending on which you are converting

tOo

_-_ Orifice Spuds for Converting to LP Gas:

LP orifice spuds are in a small plastic bag packed with
this Use and Care book. LP orifice spuds have a 2-
digit number and the Letter "L" on one side° Each ori-
fice spud will also have I or 2 grooves on one side,
denoting the location on the range where it is to be
installed.

Orifice Spuds for Converting to Natural Gas:

Natural gas orifice spuds have a 3-digit number on
one side.. Each orifice spud will also have 1, 2 or 3
grooves on one side, denoting the location on the
range where it is to be installed.

To prevent leakage, make sure the orifice spuds
are securely screwed into the gas inlet tubes_ Use a
small wrench to hold the inlet tube hex to prevent it
from twisting..

Put old orifice spuds back in the bag to save for
possible future conversion,.

NOTE: If an orifice spud is
accidentally dropped, the
cooktop can be raised by
disengaging the 2 front

clips with a large flat blade
screwdriver.

DO NOT attempt to raise the cooktop without
removing all 4 burner bases.

if wires were disconnected to remove the cooktop,
feed wires through the burner holes in the cooktop.
Attach to each burner electrode terminal carefully,
making sure not to bend the terminal. Then lower
cooktop until it snaps over the clips_

7. Carefully insert burner bases straight down with the
tube over the orifice spud,. Replace the screws,
making sure the tall screw is opposite the burn-

er electrode in each burner base.
