• 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.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for

use in combination with each other.

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.

Never leave children alone or

unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. Teach children the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or

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

• 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.

• Unlike some gas ranges, the cooktop is not removable. Do not attempt to remove the cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING!

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by properly installed an- ti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. Fail- ure 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 bracket 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 met- al. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

Anti-tip bracket installation instructions

Locate the bracket using the template - (Bracket

may be positioned on either the left or right side of the range. Refer to Figs. 4, 5, & 7 to position 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 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 wall, remove molding or mount bracket to floor.

For wall mount (Fig. 4), locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against 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 wall when installed, attach bracket to the floor (See Fig. 5).

g. Check for gas leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the

range and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system.

Checking manifold gas pressure

Do not use flame to check for gas leaks.

Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on.

For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the manifold pressure is 4". For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure is 10".

Read the following electrical connection details before

connecting electricity to range.

Before servicing, disconnect electrical

supply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord.

Electric requirements:

A dedicated, properly grounded and polarized branch circuit protected by a 15 amp. circuit breaker or time delay fuse. See serial plate for proper voltage.

Extension cord precautions:

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of any extension cord. However, if you still choose to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service organization.

Please read carefully! For personal safe-

ty, this product must be properly grounded. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(ground) prong from the power cord (See Fig. 12). Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly ground- ed three-prong wall receptacle.

Check burner cap placement.

It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the appliance. Please note that the burner heads are secured to the cooktop. The cook- top is not removeable. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of

harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.

Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use. Do not allow

spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice holder openings.

Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all

round style burner caps are correctly in place on round burner heads.

Check and be sure that all oval style burner caps are cor- rectly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check and be sure that all dual or twin style burner caps are cor- rectly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped).

On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 13) should fit snug into the center of burner head and be level. Refer to Figs. 14 & 15for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 16) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

Check ignition of surface burners.

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to elec- tric power.

a. To check for proper ignition, push in and turn a

surface burner knob counterclockwise to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking.

b. The surface burner should ignite when gas is available

to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines.

c. Visually check that burner has a flame. Once the

burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.

d. Try each surface control knob separately until all

surface burners have been checked. Each burner location is equipped with a separate electrode.

Adjust LOW setting of surface burner valves (linear flow).

Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted: a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.

b. Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position. c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.

d. Remove the surface burner control knob. e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve

stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the

screw (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 18).

f. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from

LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without extinguishing.

Note: Air mixture adjustments are not required on surface

bumers.

Check ignition of oven burners.

The operation of oven igniters should be checked after

range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power. Be sure all packing materials and litera-

ture are removed from oven.

The oven burner is equipped with an electric control sys- tem as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model

is equipped with an upper oven burner, it will also have an electric burner igniter. These control systems require

no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will "glow" similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to

ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time

lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the set temperature, the glowing igniter will cycle off. The burner flame will turn off in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter turns off. To maintain any set oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the oven control is set to operate.

To check oven burner ignition: a. Set oven to Bake at 300°F. See User's Manual for

operating instructions.

b. Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.

Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset control to OFF.

If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler,

set oven to Broil. See User's Manual for operating

instructions.

Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for proper flame. Reset control to OFF.
