FOR YOUR SAFETY:
— Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use
any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
— Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or the
gas supplier.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - GAS RANGE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Range must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—
latest edition when installed in the United States.
• When installed in a manufactured (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, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1,
or with local codes.
• As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there
are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will
find them in the Use & Care Guide, read it carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a
qualified installer or service technician.
• This range must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in their absence, with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No .70—latest edition when
installed in the United States. See Grounding Instructions
on page 8.
• 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.
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.

GAS RANGE INSTALLATION REQUIRMENTS
Tools you will need for Gas Supply Connection
(Wear safety glasses when using tools):
• Adjustable wrench and pipe wrench (Figs. a & e)
For burner flame adjustment:
• Phillips head and small flat-blade screwdrivers (Figs. b & f)
For Range Installation:
• Level (Fig. d)
Materials provided in this kit:
• Pipe joint sealant that resists action of
LP/Propane gas (Fig. h)
• Leak Detection Solution (Fig. i)
•
A new 7/8" flexible metal appliance gas line connector.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we
recommend using a new flexible conduit for each new
installation and additional re-installations. (Fig. k)
• Two Flare union adapters
(3/4" MIP x 7/8" OD Flare Union)(Fig. l)
Other Required Materals:
• Gas line manual shut-off valve (Fig. j)

GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Provide an adequate gas supply.

Please note: Operation at elevations above 2000 ft.,
appliance rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for
each 1000 ft. above sea level.
A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the manifold and MUST be connected
in series with the gas supply line. If the LP/Propane
conversion kit has been used, follow instructions provided
with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/
Propane use.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the
regulator should be no more than 14 inches of water column
pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least
1 inch greater than regulator manifold pressure.
Example: If regulator is set for natural gas 4 inch manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5 inches; if regulator
has been converted for LP/Propane gas 10 inch manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11 inches.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to
the instructions in step 4g.

Note: To prevent leaks use pipe joint sealant on all male
(outside) pipe threads. Do not allow gas pressure
regulator to turn on pipe when tightening fittings.
a. Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas
supply line in an accessible location outside of range. Be
sure you know where and how to shut off the gas supply
to the range (See Fig. 8).
b. Install 3/4” flare union adapter to gas pressure regulator
using no more than 15ft./lbs. of torque
