AWARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehgde and soot, caused primarilg bg the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Prapeflg adjusted buraers, indicated by a bluish rather than a gellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized bg venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show gou the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessarg.
_ Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
_ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
i_}Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
_, Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
i_ Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating it
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
w, Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
WARNING: These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
_ After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
_ Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
_ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
_CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
range or on the backsplash of a range-
children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
i_}Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
i_}Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range drawer or near a cooktop.
!:,_iDonot store or usecombustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
_ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
_ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaminggrease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available,by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer
can be smothered completely by closing the
oven door or drawer and turning the control
to off or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher
!:,_iLet the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
¢_;_Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range under the lower oven
drawer.
!:,_iLarge scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size--ovoid pans that ore unstable or easilg tipped. Select cool<wore having fiat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To ovoid spillovers, make sure cool<wore is large enough
to contain the food properlg. This will bath save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heav_l spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that con
be eosilg grasped and remain cool
!:;_iAlways use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
!:;_iNever leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
_ Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
_ Use only dry pot holders- moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
i!:_When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
!:;_iTo minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
_ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
_ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
_ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
i!:_If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
i_:_Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
!:;_iDo not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
!:;_iDo not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner grate and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
_ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
i_ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryen Wait until the fat is cool.
i_ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
!:;_iKeep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
_To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove them.
_ If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
_ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
i_ Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
!:;_iDo not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
lead to damage and improper operation of
the range.
_; When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the
range is turned on

[] Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe.Cooklonger if necessarg.
[] Touchthe CLEAR/OFFpad when
cooking is complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe callsfor it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessarg
when convection baking and for good results
when baking cakes,cookies,pastrg and
breads.
For ovenswithout opreheat indicator light
or tone,preheat 7 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pansshould not touch each other or the
walls of the oven. If gou need to use two
shelves,stagger the pans so one is not
directlg above the other,and leave
approximatelg 1W' between pans, from
the front, back and sidesof the wall.
Aluminum Fail
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil mag be used to catch a
spillover bg placing it on a lower shelfseveral
inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As gour oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven mag cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
Thesedroplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Using the probe.
For mang foods, especially roasts and poultr_l, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness.
The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact aloneness you want.
The temperature probe has o
skewer like probe at one end and
o plug at the other end that goes
into the outlet in the oven
Use of probes other than the one provided
with this product mag result in damage to
the probe.
Usethe handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food
and outlet.
_!_Toavoid damaging gour probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
_!¢Toovoid breakingthe probe, make sure food
is completely defrostedbefore inserting.
i;I Toprevent possibleburns, do not unplug
the probe from the outlet until the oven
has cooled.
_Never leave gour probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaningcycle.
;_ Do not store the probe in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a
trivet or on a broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completelg into the meat.
It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in
ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishessuch
as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallelto the leg
of a whole turkeg.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleove the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
In o convection oven, Ofort
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food This circulating
hot air is evenlg distributed
throughout the oven cavity As a
result, foods are evenlg cooked and
browned-often in less time than
with regular heat
NOTE:Tomaximize cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to
rotate in both directions with o
pause in between Thisis normal
To help gnu understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
i_ Preheat the oven.Seethe Usingthe Oven-
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
_!Ideal for foodscooked on multiple shelves.
_!Goodfor large quantities of baked foods.
i_ Goodresults with cookies,biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes,creampuffs, sweet
rolls, angd food cake and bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenlg over and around the food.
Convection Roast
_Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Heat and
poultry are browned on all sidesas if theg
were cooked on a rotisserie.Heated air will
be circulated over,under and around the
food being roasted. The heated air sealsin
juices quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior
Roastsor poultry should be cooked on shelf
position (A).
When gou are convection roasting, it is
important that gou use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results.Thepan
is used to catch grease spillsand the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters.
_!_Placethe shelfin shelfposition (A).
Auto Recipe" Conversion
Youcan use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When using CONVECTIONBAKE,the oven
will automatically convert the oven
temperature from regular baking to
Convection Bake temperatures.
[] Using the number pads, enter
the temperature recommended
in the recipe.
[] Touch the STARTpad.
The displag will show the temperature
gou entered from gour recipe.The
oven will automaticallg convert it to
the convection cooking temperature.
[] Touch the CLEAR/OFFpad when
baking is finished.
_!_Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
_1Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles,main dishesor baked goods
have been developed using commercial
convection ovens. For best results in this
oven,preheat the oven and use the
temperature, for regular baking, on the
package.

Cookwore for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,check
to see if your cookware leavesroom for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them.
Also,be sure the pans do not touch each
other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However,metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
_Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
_;Glossor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies,you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

Thisis normal.
Whenconvectionbaking with only
1.shelf,follow theshdf positions
recommendedin the Usingthe
Ovensection
20
Multi-Shelf Baking
The number of shelvesprovided depends on
your model.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent results using multiple shelves.
Hulti-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies,muffins, biscuitsand
other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
To cook food on more than one shelf in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
When baking larger foods on 5 shelves,place
one shelf in the 2nd (A)position,one on the
4th (C}position and the third shelf in the 6th (E}
position.
When baking cookies,place the shelvesin the

Adjust the upper oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
You mag find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-80 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained
in memory after a power failure.

NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking

Thetypeof margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with ahigher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat bg weight. Low fat spreads,on the
other hand, contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with Four old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (onsomemodels)
Protecting
STAINLESSSTEELhas a reputation for
withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a
key reason why it is so popular with the food
service industry.
However,stainlesssteel appliances can have
surface imperfections, discolorations or
blemishesthat consumers with a critical eye
notice and find unattractive in the home.
Thesediscolorations or blemishes can be
caused by something as simple as leaving
fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel
surface overnight.
For stainlesssteel appliances where
blemishes are prone to show on the surface,
we recommend APPLYINGACOATOFCERAHA
BRYTE®StainlessSteel Cleaning Polish&
Conditioner (purchased separately-follow
instructions).
Thiswill help you to maintain the brightness
and appearance of your stainlesssteel
appliance.
Cleaning
Do not use asteel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
r_!_In order to avoid any discolorations and/or
grease stains,we recommend cleaning
and removing any spills,spots and grease
from the range after use.
i_1It is important to use a soft cloth or paper
towel every time the range is cleaned to
avoid any scratches.
Readcarefully the instructions on the back
of the Brightener (includedwith your range)
for better results.
[] Apply Cerama Bryte ®Stainless Steel
Brightener (follow instructions).
[] Repeatsteps 2-4 as many times
as needed.
[] Put grates back in place.

Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heovg.
Youmog need helpremoving and replacing
the doo_
To remove the door, open it a few inches
to the specialstop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift
the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Becareful not to place hands between
the hinge and the oven door frame as the
hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the specialstop position. Positionthe
slots in the bottom of the door squarely over
the hinges.Then lower the door slowl9 and
evenly over both hinges at the same time. If
the hinges snap back against the oven frame,
pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket-it has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion
If gou notice the gasket becoming
worn, fraged or damaged in ang
wag or if it has become displaced
on the door, gou should have it
replaced
Do not allow excesswater to run into
any holes or slots in the doon
_'s!Becausethe area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self clean cycle, gou do
not need to clean this by hand. Any soap
left on the liner causes additional stains
when the oven is heated.
;'s!The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled plastic
scouring pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
i_ Usesoap and water to thoroughlg clean
the top, sidesand front of the oven doon
Rinsewell. You mag also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
i_ Spillageof marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool,clean and rinse.
%_Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the doon
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel
finish.To make cleaning easier,protect the
oven bottom from excessivespillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the
shelf you are cooking on. Thisis particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic
(suchas tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces
with vinegar or lemonjuice) may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don't recommend using aluminum foil on
the oven bottom. Itcan affect air flow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers,use soap and water, an
abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad.
Rinsewell to remove any soap before self-
cleaning.
Oven Shelves and Drawer Racks
The gray porcelain-coated shelvesmay be
cleaned in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.
Theg may also be cleaned bg using an
abrasive cleansenAfter cleaning, rinse the
shelveswith clean water and dry with a
clean cloth. Ifthe shelvesever become hard
to slide,wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf
supports with vegetable oil.

this section.) To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, carefully
tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range from
tipping over.
If gou pull the range out from the wall for
ang reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when gou push the range back
against the wall.
For gour safet 9, never use gour range for warming or
heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not
designed to heat gour kitchen. Top burners should
not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such
abuse could result in fire and damage to gout range
and will void gout warrantg.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinitg of this or ang other appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in the oven can ignite.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to
strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supplg fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like mang other household items, is
heavg and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vingl or carpeting. Use care when moving the
range on this tgpe of flooring. It is recommended that
the following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect gour floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plgwood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the
front of the range, the area that the range will rest on
should be built up with plgwood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure gour floor covering will
withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around gour range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) bg the

Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of S" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
{propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Hake sure gou are supplging gour range with the tgpe of
gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If gou decide to use this range on LPgas,
conversion must be made bg a qualified LPinstaller
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 5" and 13"
of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10"
and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold} pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supplg line regardless of
whether natural or LPgas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supplg line should have an I.D.of 1/2"
and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors
no longer than 6 feet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut offthe main gas supplg valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to
relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you
turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, gou must carefullg
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the
connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male {external}
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easilg accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure evergone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supplg to the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the
90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking
care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from
turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E.When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supplg valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks in the sgstem.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supplg sgstem of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supplg piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supplg sgstem, simplg isolate
the range from the gas supplg sgstem bg closing the
individual shut-off valve.

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properlg grounded dedicated circuit
protected bg a 1S-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time
delag fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safetg hazards associated
with certain conditions, we stronglg recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if gou still elect to
use an extension cord, it is absolutelg necessarg that it
be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-tgpe appliance extension
cord and that the current carrging rating of the cord
in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the
circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefullg)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibilitg of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properlg grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properlg grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVETHE THIRD (GROUND)PRONG FROM
THE POWERCORD.
Aword about GFCI's - GFCI's are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's)are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and
automaticallg switch off power when a threshold leakage
level is detected. These devices must be manuallg reset
bg the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCI'sin kitchen receptacles installed to serve
countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not
be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit
but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker
is passible.
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Infrequentlg.
An adapter mag be used onlg on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
mag be made to a properlg grounded two-prong wall
receptacle bg the use of a ULdisted adapter, available
at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle
to provide proper polaritg in the connection of the
power cord.
Temporarg Method
(Adapterplugsnot permitted in Canada(
Align large prongs/slots
Ensure proper
ground and firm
connection before
use
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properlg grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
alwags hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is verg likelg to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.

Installation Instructions
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part 5280
(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 Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups),
ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,
mobile horne installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
Electric Disconnect
