the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI Z223.1--1atest edition when installed in the United

States,

This range has been design certified by CSA International.

As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there

are certain safety precautions you should fellow. You will find

them in the Use & Care Manual. 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 when installed in the United States.

See Grounding Instructionson page 5.

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

9O°F above room temperature without shrinking,

warping or discoloring. Do not installthe range over

carpetingunless youplace an insulatingpador sheet of

1/4-inchthickplywoodbetween the rangeandcarpeting.

•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

while the oven is in operation. This range requires fresh

air for proper burner combustion.

Never leave children alone or unattended

in the area where an appliance is in use, Aschildrengrow,

teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never

leave the oven dooropen when the range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors

or drawers of this range canresult inserious injuries and

can also cause damage to the range.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the range. Childrencouldbe seriously

burned climbingonthe 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 hazardoussituation.

Never use your range for warming or beating the

room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate

ventilation can be dangerous.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

Explosionsor fires could result.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the riskof tipping of the range, the range must be

secured to the floorby properly installedanti-tip bracket and

screws packed withthe range. Failure to installthe anti-tip

bracket will allowthe range to tipover if excessive weight is

placed on an open door or if achildclimbs upon it. Serious

injury might resultfrom spilled hot liquidsor from the range

itself.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip

brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement

fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall,

make su rethat screws completely penetrate dry wall and are

2. Provide an adequate gas supply.

This unit is pre-set to operate on 4" natural gas manifold

pressure. Aconvertible pressure regulator is connected to

the manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas

supply line. If the LP/Propane conversion kit has been used,

follow instructions provided with the kit for converting the

pressure regulator to LP/Propane use.

Care must be taken during installationof range nottoobstruct

the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the

regulator should be no more than 14 inches of water column

pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least

1 inch greater than regulator manifold pressure. Examples: If

regulator is set for natural gas 4 inch manifold pressure, inlet

pressure must be at least 5 inches; if regulator has been

converted for LP/Propane gas 10 inch manifold pressure,

inlet pressure must be at least 11 inches.

Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to

the instructions in step 4g.

The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3/4" I.D.

check for leaks in the system.

Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

Checking Manifold Gas Pressure

Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water

column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping

system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during

any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressures equal to or less than 14" of water colu mn pressure

(approximately 1/2" psig).

If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure,

connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device

to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with

inside diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight

over orifice. Turn burner valve on.

For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other

top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure

is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressu re.

The gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water

column. When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the manifold

pressure is 4." (For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure

is 10.")

5. Read electrical connection details below

and connect electricity to range.

Before servicing, disconnect electrical

supply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord,

9. Electric Ignition Burners

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.

The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system

as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is

equipped with a waist-high broil burner, it will also have an

electric burner igniter. These control systems require no

adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow

to the igniter. It will "glow" similar to a light bulb. When the

igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the

electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will

appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to

60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the

flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches

the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner

flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes

"OFF." To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle

will continue as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.

The approximate flame lengthof the oven burner is 1inch

(distinct inner, blue flame).

To determine if the oven burner flame is proper, remove the

oven bottom and burner baffle and set the oven to bake at

300°F.

To remove the oven bottom, remove oven hold down screws

at rear of oven bottom. Pull upat rear, disengage front of oven

bottom from oven front frame, and pull the oven bottom out

of the oven. Remove burner baffle so that the burner flame

can be observed.

If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening

size. (See "2" in illustration below.) If the flame is a distinct

blue, reduce the air shutter opening size.

To adjust loosen lock screw (see "3" illustration below),

reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw. Replace oven

bottom.

11. Air Shutter-Broil Burner

The approximate flame length of the broil burner is 1 inch

(distinctinner, blue flame).

To determine if the broil burner flame is proper, set the oven

to broil.

If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening

size. (See "2" in illustration above.) If the flame is a distinct

blue, reduce the air shutter opening size.

To adjust, loosen lock screw (see "3" in illustration above),

reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.

12.Make Sure Range is Level.

Level the range by placing a level horizontally on an oven

rack. Check diagonally from front to back, then level the

range by either adjusting the leveling legs or by placing shims

under the corners of the range as needed.

13.After installation is complete, make sure all

controls are left in the OFF position.

Model and Serial Number Location

For sealed burner ovens, the serial plate is located on the

right-hand surface of the oven front frame at the storage or

warmer drawer; or the lower panel area.

When ordering parts foror making inquires about your range,

always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and

a lot number or letter from the serial plate on your range.

Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners, the

type of fuel and the pressure the range was adjusted for when

it left the factory.
