LOCATION
• Thedistance from the floor to the top of the counter must
be at least 35 7/8". The maximum counter height is 38".
• You should not put the range near an outside door or
where a draft may affect use.
Cabinet space directly over the range should not be used.
You could be seriously injured when reaching over the
range for items stored in such cabinets. This hazard can
be reduced by installing a range hood that projects a
minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabi-
nets installed above the range may be no deeper than 13".
indoor-outdoor carpeting, soften at fairly low tempera-
tures. If you are unsure of the heat resistance of a
material, put a protective covering under the range to
prevent possible heat damage during range use.
Recommended location for the gas inlet pipe and electri-
cal outlet are shown in Figure 1.
• Seal all openings in the wall behind and the floor below
the range, before you slide the range into place.
This range is designedto be installed in a30"wide opening.
See next page for dimensions. The counter opening must
be 25" deep and may be notched on each side when the
backguard is used. If the filler is used instead of the
backguard, see the following page for more information.
CLEARANCES
There must be at least 30" between the cooktop and any
overhead cabinets for an area equal to the width and
depth of the range (30" by 28").
You must keep a clearance of at least 2" between the
range sides and any material that could catch fire, from
the cooktop upward, to a height of at least 18".
Refer to Figures 1-7 for all rough-in and minimum clear-
ance dimensions.

PREPARING THE COUNTER
Ifyou have an existing 30" wide cutout that goes all the way
to the wall you may want to buy a Main Top Filler Kit No,
80279 or a 4" Backguard Kit No. 80509. These will fill in the
space between the back of the range and the wall. The kits
are available from Sears general catalog and may be or-
dered at any Sears catalog outlet or the catalog desk at any
Sears Retail Store. If this existing cutout is in a counter that
has a backsplash (postformed top) we recommend that you
use the 4'* Backguard.
From the illustrations below determine the dimensions of
your cutout. Mark the cutout on the counter. Dimensions
given are from front of counter, not from cabinet face. To
minimize chipping, you may want to apply masking tape to
the counter and mark the cut on top of the tape. Use a hand
or saber saw to make the cut. For best appearance it is
important that the cut be smooth and straight.

If you have a standard 25" countertop and you wish to set the
range further back into the counter, you may notch the front
of the counter up to a maximum depth of 1/2'" as shown in
Figure 6. Cutout should then be 23 3/16" deep from back of
notch.
Ifyou have a countertop deeper than 25", such as in an island
installation with a countertop of at least 26" and you wish to
set the range further back into the counter, you may notch the
front of the counter up to 1" deep, but never deeper than to
the front of the cabinet face and maintaining at least 24 1/2"
from the back of the notch to the inside of the rear wall of the
counter. See Fig. 5.

LEVEL
For proper baking results, the range must be leveled.
The height of the range must also be adjusted to the
height of the counter, To do this:
1. Use a 13/8" open end or adjustable wrench to equally
back out the four leg levelers until the flanges (rims)
below the sides of the maintop are above the top of the
counter.
2. Install the oven racks in the oven (see the Cleaning and
Care section inthe manual for instructions for additional
information).
3. Place the range where it will be installed, then put a spirit
level, or a glass measuring cup partially filled with water,
on one of the oven racks to check for levelness. It using
a spirit level, take two readings with the level placed
diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
4. Usethewrenchtoadjusttheleglevelers. Youmayhave
to pull the range away from the wall to reach the rear leg
levelers. The range should rest on the floor and not hang
from the counter.

An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be used to
operate the electrical parts of your range.
The range cord has a three prong plug and must be usedwith
a properly grounded three hole outlet with a standard 120
volt 60 hertz AC household current. Improper grounding can
affect ignition on spark ignition models.
The preferred method of electrical hook-up is shown in Fig.
8. If you do not have a grounded (three hole) outlet, have a
qualified electrician change your old outlet or install a new
one.
Agrounding adapter plug may be used to convert a two hole
outletto a three hole outlet until the grounded outlet can be
installed. (See Fig.9). This shouldbedone onlytemporarily
and only it the two hole outlet is properly polarized.
Do not under any circumstances
cut or remove the grounding pro ng
from the range cord. Failure to
provide proper polarization may
cause shock and fire hazard.

MAKING BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
If you are using LP. (bottled) gas, all the
adjustments described below muSt be
made before you make any burner ad-
justments or use the range.
All ranges are factory adjusted forusewiththe most common
type of natural gas. The gas used in some parts of the
country may be different. Inorder to assure safe and energy
efficient operation of this appliance, you should check all
adjustments described below and onthe next page. Ifyou
are using L.P. gas, all the adjustments must be made.
Step 1 : Check Oven Shut-off Valve
Raise the cooktop and check the oven shut-off valve in the
right front corner of the burner box, If should be in the open
position as shown in Fig. A5.

Step 2: Adjust Air Shutters
Turn all burners full on and checkthe flames. Burner flames
should not flutter or blow away from the burner. They should
be blue in color with no trace of yellow. Foreign particles in
the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will
soon disappear.
If the flames are yellow or flutter, open the air shutter more.
if the flames blow away from the burner, close the shutter
more.
Check burner flames frequently and make adjustments
when needed.
To adjust air shutters:
Cooktop burners, Fig. A6 -use pliers to adjust the air shutter.
Be sure to keep the gap in the air shutter facing straight up.
Be very careful not to bend the air shutter when using
pliers to make adjustments.
Oven/broiler burners, Figs. A7 and A8 - use a screwdriver to
loosen the air shutter screw. Adjust air shutter. Retighten
the air shutter screw.

pulled as tight as possible and that there is no excess slack in the
chain after chain is attached to the bracket.
* Excess slack in the chain could allow the range to
tip over excessively.
6) Slide the range all the way back into the counter. Once the
range ispushed back in place, there will be a small amount of slack
in the chain. This is normal.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RANGES USED WITH COUNTERTOP
HEIGHTS UP TO 38"
The height of the range must be adjusted tothe countertop height.
For countertop heights greater than 37", additional measurements
may need to be taken as detailed below.
WRen the range isetevated to the maximum height, there is a Iarge
space between the bottom of the range and the floor, referred to as
the toe space. This may be visually objectionable. The legs should
not be extended any further than to provide a maximum of 3" toe
space. See Fig. 1.
The range is designed to provide a minimum of 1" air gap at the
bottom of the range. See Fig. 2. (Example: When legs are screwed
all the way into the base rail.)
Fig. 1
This gap is very important to the proper ventilation of the range and
must be maintained when treating the appearance of the toe space.
The following is a suggested method of making a filler for the toe
space when the legs are extended as mentioned before.
After the range is installed with the longer legs and isin position and
level, measu refrom the bottom of the bodyside to the floor. This will
bethe required height of the toe space filler. See Fig. 1, This height
may range from 2-1/16" to 3". Any height less than 2-1/16" may not
be visually objectionable and not need the filler.
B_.:,=,d',hefiiier as shown inFig. 3. Make sure to provide the 3/4" gap
at the top and the 5/16" gap at the bottom. These gaps will provide
the proper ventilation as mentioned before.
Ifyou wish to attach the filler to the floor Dr adjacent cabinets, use
screws or other removable fasteners, so that the range can be
readily removed if necessary.
