IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the imperfect combustion

of natural or LP gas. Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize imperfect combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Warning

••This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

••Never use your range as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

••Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items placed in cabinets over the range. Flammable materials could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

••Do not place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

••Do not place flammable materials in the oven or near the cooktop.

••Do not allow cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the range.

••Do not use water on grease fires. Never touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a wellfitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

A grease fire can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the upper oven or lower oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

••Do not use the oven or the drawer for storage.

••Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them.

••Never block the vents (air holes) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.

••Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the burner and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

••Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

••Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

••Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

••Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ENGLISH

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

••Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in a serious hazard. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the gas detector manufacturer’s instructions.

Warning

••Make sure your range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

••Make sure your range is properly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the installation instructions.

••These adjustments must be done by a qualified service technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing these adjustments assumes responsibility for the conversion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7

Warning

••Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the appliance.

••Never use the appliance door as a step stool or seat, as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious injuries.

••This product should not be installed below ventilation type hood systems that direct air in a downward direction.

Doing so may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas burners resulting in personal injury and may affect the cooking performance of the unit.

••Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this range.

••To prevent fire hazard or electrical shock, do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

••To prevent poor air circulation, place the range out of the kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations.

••Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically mentioned in this manual. All other services should be referred to a qualified technician.

••Make sure that all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

••In an emergency situation or if you want to shut off the gas supply, close the regulator valve by positioning the lever as shown in the figure below.

ENGLISH

Lever’s open position

Lever’s closed position

••After using your range for an extended period of time high floor temperatures may result. Many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

••Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE BURNERS

Warning

••Even if the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the Off position. If you smell gas, immediately open a window and ventilate the area for five minutes prior to using the burner. Do not leave the burners on unattended.

••Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or that can be easily tipped. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure the cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

CAUTION

••Be sure that all surface controls are set in the Off position prior to supplying gas to the range.

••Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers may cause smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

••Always turn the knobs to the Lite position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

••Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

••Only use dry pot holdersmoist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use towels or other bulky cloth items. Use a pot holder.

••If using glass cookware, make sure the cookware is designed for range-top cooking.

••To prevent burns from ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending them over adjacent burners.

••Never leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

••Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

••Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

••If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together before heating.

••Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent overheating fat from heating beyond the smoking point.

••Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

••Do not cook foods directly on an open flame on the cooktop.

••Do not use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. It may also cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause carbon monoxide levels which are higher than what is allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

••Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and spill over the sides of the pan.

••Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

••Do not place plastic items on the cooktopthey may melt if left too close to the vent.

••Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 9

CAUTION

••To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are in the Off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

••If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

••Always turn the knobs to the Off position before removing cookware.

••Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the range.

••If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and catch on fire.

••Use care when cleaning the cooktop. The pointed metal ends on the electrodes could cause injury.

ENGLISH

BROILER

Always use a broiler pan and a grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.

Warning

When using your broiler, the temperature inside the oven will be extremely high. Take caution to avoid possible burns by:

••Keeping the door closed when broiling (refer to Broil section of the manual)

••Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing food items

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 °F, poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 165 °F and beef, pork, veal & lamb steaks & chops to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 145 °F.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN (For Model : LDG4315 / LDG4313)

Make sure to wipe off excess spillage before operating the Self Clean function.

CAUTION

••Do not leave food, broiler trays, cooking utensils, racks, etc. in the oven during the self clean cycle.

••Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self clean cycle is used.

••Remove oven racks and other items from both upper and lower ovens before starting the self clean cycle.

••Only clean the parts listed in this manual.

••Do not manually clean the door gasket. The door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

••If the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the range off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

••It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a Self Clean cycle.

••Avoid touching the door, window or oven vent area during a Self Clean cycle.

10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN

When opening the door of a hot oven, stand away from the range. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Warning

••Never block any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

••Do not heat food in closed containers. Pressure inside the container could increase and cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

••Do not line oven walls or bottom with aluminum foil or allow them to contact exposed heating elements in the oven. Doing so could create a fire hazard or cause damage to the range.

••Do not use the oven for storage. Items stored in the oven can catch on fire.

••Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

••Insert the oven racks in the desired position while the oven is cool.

••To prevent burns when removing food, slide racks out until the stop engages, then remove food items. This may also protect you from getting burnt by touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

••When placing or removing a griddle, always wear oven mitts.

••When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

••Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.

••Always remove the broiler pan from the range after you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if the oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

••If meat is too close to the flame while broiling, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

••Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to minimize the possibility of grease fires.

••If you have a grease fire in the broiler pan, touch Upper Clear/Off or Lower Clear/Off and keep the oven door closed to contain the fire until it burns out.

••For safety and better cooking performance, always bake and broil with the oven door closed. Open door baking or broiling can cause damage to the knobs or valves.

Do not leave the oven door open during cooking or while the oven is cooling down.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 11

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

••Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same cooking temperature together in one oven.

••For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 31 for proper rack and pan placements.

••Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.

••Use cookware with flat bottoms to provide the best contact with the cooktop surface when cooking on the glass-ceramic cooktop.

••Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. Using a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the element is a burn or fire hazard.

••Reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the EasyClean® feature instead of self-clean. (For Model : LDG4315 / LDG4313)

••Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

14 INSTALLATION

Installing the Range

Unpacking and Moving the Range

CAUTION

•• You should use two or more people to move and install the range. (Excessive Weight Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

•• Do not use the door handles to push or pull the range during installation or when moving the range out for cleaning or service. Doing so can result in serious damage to the door of the range.

Remove packing material, tape and any temporary labels from your range before using. Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of the range.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your range.

Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.

Choosing the Proper Location

Do not locate your range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not blocked by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household units, is heavy and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring.

This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will be installed on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the

range to be moved for cleaning and servicing, as well as provide proper air flow to the range.

Also, make sure the floor covering can resist temperatures of at least 167 °F (75 °C). See the Installation Safety Instructions included in this manual.

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can resist the heat generated up to 194 °F (90 °C) by the range. See the Installation Safety Instructions included in this manual.

The anti-tip bracket is packaged with an installation template. The instructions include necessary information to complete the installation. Read and follow the range installation instruction sheet.

Warning

•• Range must be secured with an approved antitip device.

•• The range could be tipped by standing, sitting or leaning on an open door if the range or antitip device is not properly installed.

•• After installing the anti-tip device, verify that it is in place by carefully attempting to tilt the range forward.

•• This range has been designed to meet all recognized industry tip standards for all normal conditions.

•• The installation of the anti-tip device must meet all local codes for securing the appliance.

•• The use of this device does not preclude tipping of the range when not properly installed.

Providing Adequate Gas

Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural gas or 10" of water column on LP.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is configured.

This range is convertible for use on natural or LP gas. When using this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be between 10" and 13" of water column. When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" more than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range must remain in the supply line regardless of which type of gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 5/8" and a maximum length of 5 feet. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.

INSTALLATION 17

Connecting the Range to Gas

Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector should be used unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

A manual valve shall be installed in an accessible location in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Never reuse an old connector when installing a new range.

To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint sealant on all external threads.

1	Install a male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
	NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
	taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep
	it from turning.
2	Install a male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"

NPT internal thread at the inlet of the pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to prevent damage.

In an emergency situation or if you want to shut off the gas supply, close the regulator valve by positioning the lever as shown in the figure below.

Warning

•• Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

all range controls are in the Off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Gas leaks may occur in your system and create a hazard. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

Check all gas connection joints and fittings for leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, then wipe off.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the installation instructions.

18 INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

Electrical Requirements

120 Volt, 60 Hz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow blow fuse.

If an external electrical source is utilized, the appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Grounding

IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

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 grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must

be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.

Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but the

occasional resetting of the circuit can become an annoyance.

Do not use an adapter plug. Disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, 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

Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.

Sealing the Openings

Seal any openings in the wall and floor after electrical and gas supplies are completed.

Preferred

Method

Ensure proper ground exists before use

CAUTION

Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of the burner flames needs to be confirmed visually.

A Yellow flames - Call for service.

B Yellow tips on outer cones - This is normal for LP gas

C Soft blue flames - This is normal for natural gas

NOTE

•• With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

Adjusting the Surface Burner to the Low Flame (Simmer) Setting

1	Light all surface burners.
2	Turn the knob on the burner being adjusted to
	Lo.
3	Remove the knob.
4	Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the
	valve shaft.

Checking Ignition of the Surface Burners

Electric Ignition

Select a surface burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to the Lite position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module.

Once the air has been purged from the supply lines the burner should ignite within 4 seconds. After the burner ignites, rotate the knob out of the Lite position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

NOTE

Hold the valve shaft with one hand while turning the screw to adjust with the other.

5 Replace the knob.

6 Test the flame stability.

Test 1: Turn the knob from Hi to Lo quickly. If the flame goes out, increase the flame size and test again.

Test 2: With the burner on a Lo setting, open and close the oven door quickly. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and test again.

7 Repeat steps 1-6 for each surface burner.
