30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For Models with Electric Ignition or Standing Pilot)

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

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 when installed in the United
States. When installed in Canada, installation must conform
with CAN/CGA-B149.1 and CAN/CGA-B149.2.

This range has been design certified by CSA International. As
with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are
certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find
them in the

• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly

by a qualified installer or service technician.

• This range must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in their absence, with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No .70—latest edition
when installed in the United States. When installed in

Canada, this range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1. (Read the Grounding Instructions on pages
5 and 6).

• The installation of appliances designed for manufactured
(mobile) home installation must conform with Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, title 24CFR,
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 Installation 1982 (Manufcatured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-ups), ANSI Z225.1/
NFPA 501A—latest edition, or with local codes when
installed in the United States. When installed in Canada,
installation must conform with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

• Before installing the range in an area covered with

linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make
sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least
90°F above room temperature without shrinking,
warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over

carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of
1/4-inch thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can

withstand the heat generated by the range.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the oven
vent nor around the base or beneath the lower front
panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent openings or

nearby surfaces as they may become hot while the oven
is in operation. This range requires fresh air for proper
burner combustion.

drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and
can also cause damage to the range.

Owner's Guide, read it carefully.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or

Never leave children alone or unattended in

the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow,

teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never leave
the oven door open when the range is unattended.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously
burned climbing on the range to reach items.

• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.

• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive

flame is hazardous.

• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates
a potentially hazardous situation.

• Never use your range for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a

programmable timing operation.

FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:

• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before
self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow

the precleaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.

Before Proceeding:

Your range has been preset at the factory for use with Natural
or LP/Propane gas. The factory orifice setting is indicated on
the serial plate. Be sure the range is adjusted for proper type
gas before continuing. See instructions for "Gas Conversion"
if adjustments are necessary.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO

OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN
ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL OVEN
CONTROLS TO "OFF" IN THE EVENT OF A POWER
FAILURE.

The electric ignitor will automatically re-ignite the oven
burner when power resumes if the oven thermostat control
was left in the "ON" position.

When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the
surface burners will continue to operate.

During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with
a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then slowly turn
the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.

Note: On pilot models only, the surface and oven burners
will operate normally during a power outage.

(For Models with Electric Ignition or Standing Pilot)

Before Starting

Tools You Will Need

For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:

• Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers

• 5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screw Driver

• Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit (5/32" Masonry Drill Bit
if installing in concrete)

For gas supply connection:

• Pipe wrench

For burner flame adjustment:

• Phillips head and
blade-type screwdrivers

For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):

• Open end wrench - 1/2"

Additional Materials You Will Need

• Gas line shut-off valve

• Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas

• A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or 1/
2" I.D.) must be design certified by CSA International. Because
solid pipe restricts moving the range we recommend using a
new flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot length) for each new installation
and additional reinstallations.

A. Locate the Bracket Using

the Template - (Bracket may

be located on either the left or
right side of the range. Use
the information below to
locate the bracket if template
is not available). Mark the
floor or wall where left or right
side of the range will be

located.
If rear of range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4" from
wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor mount
method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket
to fit flush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket
to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the
back edge of the template against the rear wall and the side
edge of template on the mark made referencing the side of the
range. Place bracket on top of template and mark location of
the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/4"
from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the floor. For
floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back edge of the
template where the rear of the range will be located. Mark the

location of the screw holes, shown in template.

B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot hole

where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be mounted
to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20° downward
angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors,
drill a 5/32" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may
be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver

• Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x 3/4"
or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible appliance conduit
for connection of the range.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and
screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket
will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an
open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result
from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip brackets
must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement fastened
to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall, make sure that
screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or
metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do
not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place.

C. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the (4)

leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/
8" is required between the bottom of the range and the leveling
leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit level to check
your adjustments. Slide range back into position. Visually
check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured
by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower panel or storage
drawer. For models with a warmer drawer or broiler
compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
