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 Z223.1 latest edition.
This range has been design certified by the American Gas Association. As with any appliance using gas and generating
heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow.
You’ll find them in your Owner's Guide book. Read it carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed 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. See Grounding
Instructions on page 4.
• The installation of appliances designed for manufactured
(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 with local
codes.
• 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. This range requires fresh air for
proper burner combustion.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above
the range. They could be seriously burned climbing on the
range to reach them.
• 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 gazoline 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPER-
ATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. Resumption of electrical power when
OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET controls 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 LITE position. Use
extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burner in use when an 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.

NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS
1. PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
This range is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of
manifold pressure or on LP gas at 10" of manifold pressure.
It is shipped from the factory set for natural gas. If it is to be
used with LP gas, adjustments described on page 5 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 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 is set for 10", the inlet pressure must be at least
11".
The gas supply line into the range should be a 1/2" or
3/4" I.D. flexible metal appliance connector five feet in
length.
2. SEAL THE OPENINGS
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
floor under the range when hookups are completed.
3. CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Refer to figures 1 to 4 for recommended connections.
1. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an
easily accessible location outside of the range. Be sure you
know how and where to shut-off the gas supply to the
range.
2. Install 1/2" flare union adaptor supplied with the connector, to the 1/2" NPT internal thread on pressure regulator.

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 threeprong wall receptacle.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
5. 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 L.P. Gas, conversion of
regulator and adjustment of burner spuds is necessary before
ignition check; refer to “HOW TO CONVERT THE RANGE
FOR USE WITH LP GAS”.
SURFACE BURNER IGNITERS
To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface
burner knob to the LITE position. 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 LITE position. Try each
valve separately until all burners have been checked out.
