withstand heat at least 90°F/32°C 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" (6.4 mm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

• 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.

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.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the

door 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 units, cabinet storage space above the units 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.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn the Surface Control knob to Lite. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a programmable timing operation.

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

spillage. Follow the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the

cooktop.

Special Instructions for appliances installed in the State of Massachusetts: This appliance can only be installed in the State of Massachusetts by a Massachusetts licensed plumber or gas fitter. When using a flexible gas connector, it must not exceed 3 feet (36 inches) in length. A "T" handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.

SECTION A - DUAL FUEL RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4. Range Placement

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from

reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

Center Line of Range

Follow instructions for

the type of installation you have

Figure 7

If range will be installed with a cabinet on both sides, draw a center line on the floor between the cabinets (see figure 8). If back of range will not be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not

allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket Installation", page 10).

If range will be installed with a cabinet on one side only, move the range into final position. Draw a line on

the floor along the side of the range that is not against the cabinet. If back of range will not be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket Installation", page 10).

5. Gas Supply Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. The regulator is located as shown on figure 2 and it is accessible from front of the range.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of water column pressure (3.5 kPa).

The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm) water column (1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for 10"(25,4 cm) water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must be at least 11"(27,9 cm) water column (2.75 kPa).

The supply line should be equipped with an approved shutoff valve (see Figure 11). This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./C.G.A.approved flexible metallic union-connected piping where local codes permit use.

The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the left cabinet. The left side cabinet is an ideal location for the main shutoff valve, if the range is installed within cabinet storage space

Connection to Pressure Regulator

The regulator is already installed on the appliance.

If range will not be installed against a cabinet,

move range into final position. Draw a line on the floor along both sides of the range. If back of range will not be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned against the wall), draw a line on the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Now install anti-tip bracket (see "Anti-Tip Bracket Installation", page 10).

Do not make the connection too tight.

The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

The user must know the location of the main shutoff valve and have easy access to it.

When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for cleaning or servicing.

NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched between the wall and the range.

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.

to appliance

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be installed must be sealed.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35,56 cm) water column).

Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system

by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35,56 cm) water column).

6. LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or joints.

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate

conversion can result in personal injury and property damage.

7. Moving the Appliance for

Servicing and Cleaning

Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when replacing the unit into the cut-out opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical power and gas to the range.

3. Check the Igniters

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 electric power. To check for proper lighting: a. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the

LITE position. All electronic surface ignitors will

spark at the same time. However, only the

burner you are turning on will ignite.

b. The surface burner should light once the flow of

gas reached the surface burner. Each burner

should light within four (4) seconds in normal

operation after air has been purged from supply

lines. Visually check that burner has lit.

c. Once the burner lights, the control knob should

be rotated out of the LITE position.

There are separate ignition devices for each burner. Try each knob separately until all burner valves have been checked.

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by the properly installed anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. These parts are located in a plastic bag in the oven. 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.

Follow the instructions below to install the anti-tip bracket.

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

Tools Required:

5/16" (8 mm) Nut driver or Flat Head Screwdriver Adjustable Wrench Electric Drill 3/16" (4.8 mm) Diameter Drill Bit 3/16" (4.8 mm) Diameter Masonry Drill Bit (if installing in concrete)

4. Mark on the floor the location of the 2 mounting holes shown on the template (right or left position). For easier installation, 3/16" (4.8 mm) diameter pilot holes 1/2" (1.3 cm) deep can be drilled into the floor.

5. Remove template and place bracket on floor (see figure 14). Line up holes in bracket with marks on floor and attach the bracket using the 2 screws provided. Bracket must be secured to solid floor. If attaching to concrete floor, first drill 3/16" (4.8 mm) dia. pilot holes using a masonry drill bit.

6. Level range if necessary, by adjusting the 4 leveling legs with an adjustable wrench. Loosen the screw which fixes the decorative leg and lift it to reach the leveling leg. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise the range or clockwise to lower the range (see Figure 15).

7. Before sliding the range to its final position; take note of the serial and model numbers for future reference. Slide range into place making sure rear leg is trapped by the bracket. Range may need to be shifted slightly to one side as it is being pushed back to allow rear leg to align with bracket.

8. After installation, visually verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

1. The anti-tip bracket can be install on the right or left side at back of the range.

2. The anti-tip bracket support is attached to the floor at the back. When fastening to the floor, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood or concrete.

3. Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor with the back and side edges positioned exactly where the back and sides of range will be located when installed. (Use the diagram in figure 14 to locate bracket if template is not available.)
