IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRU S

Installation of this range must conform with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANS! Z223. I/NFPA .54qatest edition.

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 Use and Care
Guide, read it carefully.

• Be sure your range is installed and grounded

property by a quaIified installer or service
technician.

This range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,

with the National Electrica! Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--latest edition. See Grounding Instructions.

• 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 _/4"(I 0,16 cm) thick plywood between the

range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand the heat generated by the range.

the risk of tipping of the
range, the range must be
secured by properly
installed anti4ip bracket
provided with the range.

To check if the bracket is
installed properly, grasp

the top rear edge of the
range and carefully tilt it

forward to make sure the
range is anchored.

• 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 [n the area where an appliance [s [n 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

doors or drawers of this range can result in serious
injuries and can a[so 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 eJiminate 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 (:an 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 controts 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 Use

and Care Guide.

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

Cabinet Construction

To eliminate the risk of cabinet burns and

fire, do not have cabinet storage space above the range.
If there is cabinet storage space above range, reduce risk
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (!2.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the

cabinet.

Countertop Preparation

• Tile cooktop sides of tile range fit over tile cutout edge
of your countertop.

• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay
directly on edge of countertop.
Formed front-edged countertops must have molded
edge shaved flat 3/4" (1.9 cm) from each front comer
of opening (Figure 2).

• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 2).

Provide an adequate Gas Supply

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(!0,!6 cm) water column (I .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. If LP/
Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions
provided with tile kit for converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct tile flow of combustion and ventilation air.

For praper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to tile
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 I " (.25 kPa) greater than
the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples: If
regulator is set for natural gas 4"(10,16 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm); if
regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas

10"(25,4 cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be

at least 11 "(27,9 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted

according to the instructions in step 4.
The gas supply line should be _/2" or ;A" I.D. (Interior

Diameter)

Countertop must be level. Place a level on the
countertop, first sideto side, then front to back. If the
countertop is not level, the range will not be level. The
oven must be level for satisfactory baking results.

11.5 Operation of Oven Burners and Oven

Adjustments

1!.5.1 Etectric ignition 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
electric power.

The oven burner is equipped with an electric control
system aswell asan electric oven burner igniter. If your
model is equipped with a waist-high broil burner igniter, 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 thermostat is turned ON before the flame
appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the

display setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner
flame will go "'out"' in 20 to 30 seconds after igniter goes

"'OFF"'.To maintain any given oven temperature, this

cycle will continue as long as the display is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from

the oven:
a) Set the oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Use & Care Guide

for operating instructions.

b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.

Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle
once. Reset controls to off.

c) If your model isequipped with ahigh-waist broiler, set

oven to broil. See Use & Care Guide for operating

instructions.

d) Within 60 seconds tile broil burner should ignite. Check

for proper flame. Resetcontrols to off.

disengage front of oven bottom from oven front
frame, and pull tile oven bottom out of tile oven.

Remove burner baffle so that burner flame can be
observed.

If the flame is yellow, increase air shutter opening size
(see "2" in Figure 14). If the entire flame is blue,
reduce the air shutter opening size.

To adjust frame loosen lock screw (see "'3"' in Figure

14), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.
