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 Useand
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.
Tile installation of appliances designed for

manufactures (mobile) home installation must conform
with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly tile 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

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

installed properly, grasp tile
top rear edge ol the range
and carefully tilt it forward
to make sure tile 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 instatt
the range over carpeting unless you place an
insulating pad or sheet of 1/4"thick ptywood
between the range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range.

• Do not obstruct tile 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 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 tile 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 OVEN TEMP
and OVEN SETcontrols are in any position other than OFF
will result in automatic ignition of the oven or broiler

burner.

tn 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 tile
LITE position. Use extreme caution when tighting
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.

2. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

This range is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of
manifold pressure or on LPgas at !0" of manifold

pressure. It is shipped from the factory set for natural
gas. If it is to be used with LPgas, adjustments must be
made.

A convertible pressure regulator is connected in series
with tile 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 tile regulator is set
for 4" of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at
least5". If the regulator isset for l0", 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 tile range

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