INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR 30” EYELEVEL GAS RANGE
Before you begin, read the following instruc-
tions completely and carefully. If followed, they
will simplify the installation job.
IMPORTANT: OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING
CODES AND ORDINANCES.
Input ratings shown on the rating plate [serial tag1 are for elevations
up to 2.000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings should be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1.000 feet above sea level.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This lnstallatlon must conform with the American Natlonal Standard, Natlonal Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1-l 980 * and local codes
and ordinances.

range IS manufactured for use with NATURAL GAS.
It can be converted for use on LP GAS. The rating plate located under the main top has the InformatIon on the type
of gas this unit can be used with. When in doubt check
with your local gas supplier.
Provide a gas supply line to the unit location. We suggest
using a
result in the gas supply not being sufflclent. Pipe joint
compounds resistant to the action of LP gas must be
used.
The supply line should be equipped with a shutoff valve.
This valve should always be located in the same room as
the range and should be in a locatlon that allows ease of
opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff
valve.
If local codes permit, it is recommended that flexible
metal tubing design-certified by the American Gas Asso-
ciation, be used for connecting the appliance to the gas
supply line. [The gas valve connectlon will accept a 3%”
male pipe thread.1
If rlgld pipe
pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line connection
to the range.
The gas pressure regulator on this model
and must be used. This regulator can be used on either
NATURAL or LP gases. The pressure regulator has fixed
outlet pressure at NATURAL and LP settings and these
cannot be changed. The fixed outlet pressure on NATURAL gas setting is 4 inches W.C. On the LP gas setting

ELECTRICAL REOUIREMENTS
A 1 15 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 Ampere fused electrical supply is required [time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended]. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided. DO NOT use an extension
cord.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
00 NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

PRONG.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded.
This appliance is equipped with a power supply supply cord
have a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock
hazard, the cord must be plugged Into a mating 3-prong
grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-I 961
and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is
not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1.

To convert from NATURAL to LP gas.
a. Change pressure regulator setting from NATURAL
to LP [See To Convert Pressure Regulator.)
b. Screw the burner orifices hoods down tight against
the ortflce pins. DO NOT OVER TORQUE.
c. Remove the oven control knob and the porcelain panel
and turn the select-a-gas screw to the LP position.
This screw IS located on the oven control [thermostat).
The mid position turns the oven pilot off.
d. Top burner pilots [for models with pilot ignition only)
adjust top burner pilot to be approximately %-Inch
high. This adjustment
models and on the manifold pipe on some models.
e. UPPER OVEN PILOT ADJUSTMENT: Turn Select-a-
gas adjuster screw as outlined for the lower oven pilot.
f. Adjust the burner air shutter to the widest opentng
that will not cause the flame to lift or blow off of the
burner.
To convert the pressure regulator. Note: The type of gas
for which the regulator is set IS stamped on the alumlnum plug on the top of the regulator (either NAT. or LPI.
To change the regulator setting:
Remove the alumlnunl hex nut (plug1 with a wrench orcoln.
Turn the hex nut or plug over and screw It back Into the
regulator. Cautton: Do not over tighten.
