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 Z223.1ilatest 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.

packedwith

range.

To reduce the risk of tipping
of the range, the range

must be secured by properly
installed anti-tip bracket (s)

_rovided 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 1A" 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 OVEN TEMP

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.

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 is to be used with LP gas, 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 is set for 10", the inlet pressure

must be at least 11 ".
