IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to the manufacturers instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural gas:

This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.

■ This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas

Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located behind the storage drawer on the right-hand side oven door frame has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas

specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.

Gas Supply Line

■ Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the

range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,

4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

■ A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection

to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.

■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when

moving the range.

Rigid pipe connection: The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe

fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

LP gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet

pressure.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Countertop Preparation

(for Slide-in Ranges Only)

The cooktop sides of the slide-in range fit over the cutout edge of your countertop.

■ Must include a shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Check Operation

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to “LITE.”

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is

lit it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

Three Flame Burner

To start simmer burner:

Push in and turn control knob to “LITE.” The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is

lighted it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

To start power burner:

Push in and turn control knob to “POWER BURNER HIGH.” The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is

lighted it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■ Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.

■ Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has

not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.

■ Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”

position.

■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner

bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to “OFF” and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

If the “low” flame needs to be adjusted:

1. Remove the control knob.

2. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small flat-

blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper size.

3. Replace the control knob.

4. Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”

checking the flame at each setting.

Check Operation of Oven Bake Burner

1. Remove the oven rack. Remove the bake burner cover and

place it on a protected surface.

2. Push the BAKE pad. Default temperature appears in the

temperature display.

3. Press the START pad. Depending on your model,

“PrE” and preheat time will appear in the temperature display

“PREHEATING” and “LO” (or actual temperature) will appear in the temperature display.

The oven bake burner should light within 8 seconds, under certain conditions it may take the burner up to 50 to 60 seconds to light.

Electronic igniters are used to light the bake and broil burners.

Adjust Flame Height
