IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this range must conform with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel

Gas Code ANSI Z223. l--latest edition.

This range has been design certified by American Gas
Association (A.G.A.). 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

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.

* The installation of appliances designed for

manufactures (mobile) home installation must conform
with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, title 24CFR, 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
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Set ups), ANSI Z225.1 latest edition,

or local codes.

, All ranges

can tip.

* Injury to

persons
could result.

* Install anti-

tip device
packed with

range.

To reduce the dsk of tipping
of the range, the range

must be secured by properly
installed anti-tip bracket (s)
provided with the range. To
check if the bracket(s) is

installed properly, grasp the
top rear edge of the range
and carefully tilt it forward
to make sure the range is
anchored.

• Before installing the range in 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"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. This
range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion.

• 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 hazardous.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

• Remove broiler pan and other utensils and wipe up
excess spillage before self-cleaning the oven (if
equipped).

Do not make any attempt to operate

the electric ignition oven during an electrical power
failure. Resumption of electric power when OVENTEMP
and OVEN SETcontrols are in any position other than OFF
will result in automatic ignition of the oven or broiler

burner.
In case of a power outage, you can light the surface

burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then slowly turn the knob to the
LITEposition. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.

Surface burner in use when electrical power failure occurs
will continue to operate normally.

The oven burner and broil burner on your range are
lighted by electrical ignition. The oven and broiler

cannot be operated in the event of a power failure.

1. Before Installing Screws

the Range

Remove shipping material
Remove all tape, shipping and
packaging materials and the
oven rack packaging. Lift up
cooktop and remove the two
shipping screws from the
cooktop burners (see figure 2). Figure 2

2. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

This range is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of
manifold pressure or on LPgas at 10" of manifold
pressure. It is shipped from the factory set for natural
gas. If it isto be used with LPgas, adjustments must be

made.
A convertible pressure regulator is connected in series

with the manifold of the range and must remain in series
with the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP

gas is being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to

the regulator must be no more than 14" of water column
(W.C.) pressure.

For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1" water column pressure greater than the
regulator manifold outlet setting. If the regulator is set
for 4" of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at
least 5". If the regulator isset for10", the inlet pressure

must be at least 11 ".

C. Because solid pipe restricts moving the range we

recommended use of A.G.A. design certified flexible
metal appliance connector. Connect flexible

appliance to flare union.

D. Move range into approximate position and connect

flexible appliance connector to gas supply line with

proper flare union adaptor. The adaptor supplied with

the flexible connector must be used.

E. Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on the range

and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections to check for leaks in the system.

polarized branch circuit protected by a 15 amp. circuit
breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions:
Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions we strongly recommend against the use of
any extension cord. However, if you still select to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL
listed 3-Wire grounding type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equivalent to or greater than the branch
circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.

7. Check Operation

Refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with the
range for operating instructions and for care and

cleaning of your range.
Do not touch the burners. They may be hot enough to

cause burns.

1. 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.

Note: If range is to be operated on LP. gas, conversion
of regulator and adjustment of burner spuds is necessary
before ignition check; refer to ???.

A) Surface Burner Igniters

To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a

surface burner knob to the LITEposition. The surface
burner should light when gas is available to top
burner. Each burner should light within 4 seconds in
normal operation after air has been purged from
supply lines. Once the burner lights, knob should be
rotated out of the LITEposition. Try each valve
separately until all burners have been checked out.
