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 formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas

or LPfuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off volve and how to shut it off if necessory.

Have your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

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 o qualified technician.

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 o properly grounded,

three-prong outlet in accordance with

the National Electrical Code. Do not use

on extension cord with this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air

circulation.

Be sure all packaging materials are removed

from the range before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage should the packaging

material ignite.

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: Theseadjustments

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, storage drawer, warming

drawer or cooktop. They could damage the

range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

CAUTION:Itemsofinterest

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.

AWARNING: 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.

Neverwear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while usingthe appliance. Becareful when

reachingfor items stored in cabinets over the

range.Flammable material could be ignited

if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfacesand may cause severeburns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer, a warming drawer

or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible 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.

Flaming grease 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 oven or warming drawer can

be smothered completely by closing the oven

door and turning the control to off or by using

a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

Let 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 warming

drawer, kick panel or storage drawer.

Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can

lead to broken or shattered glass.

AWARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough

to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations

of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can

be easily grasped and remain cool

Always use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

hove ignited.

Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flume 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

cookwure. Excessive flume 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 flumes when lifting cookwure. Do not use

u towel or other bulky cloth in place of u pot

holder.

When using glass cookwure, make sure

it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and spillage,

turn cookwure handles toward the side or

back of the range without extending over

adjacent burners.

Carefully watch foods being fried at u high

flume 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.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowly.

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.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Do 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.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Keep 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.

Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner

models. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation

of the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of l60°F and poultry

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of l80°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape

can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.

Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Place the oven racks in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest

position is not designed to slide.

Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

AWARNING: NEVERcover

any slots, holes or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire rack with

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing

so blocks air flow through the oven and

may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Aluminum foil linings may also trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in

the oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage

to the range.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.

Always remove any broiler pan from range

as soon asyou finish broiling. Greaseleft in

the pan can catch fire if oven is usedwithout

removing the greasefrom the broiler pan.

When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,

the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups.

Makesure any broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibilityof greasefires.

Ifyou should have a grease fire in a broiler

pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

it burns out.

For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door

closed.

ELECTRICWARMING DRAWER Ionsome models)

The purpose of the worming drawer

is to hold hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food;

cold food cannot be heated or cooked

in the worming drawer.

Do not use the worming drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they con catch

on fire.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the worming drawer when not

in use.

Never leave jars or cons of fat drippings

in or near your worming drawer.

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and conned food o safe distance away from

your worming drawer.

Do not worm food in the worming drawer

for more than two hours.

iDo not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the warming drawer.

Using the gas surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

Drip pans are supplied with your range;

they should be used at all times.

Hake sure all burners are in place.

Hake sure all grates on the range are

properly placed before using any burner.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

Do not operate the burner for an extended

period of time without cookware on the

grate. The finish on the grate may chip

without cookware to absorb the heat.

Besure the burners and grates are cool

before you place your hand, a pot holder,

cleaning cloths or other materials

on them.

to the LITE position.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Hake sure all the surface burners are placed

intheir respective positions.

Pushthe control knob in and turn it

to the LITE position.

Youwill hear alittle clicking noise-

the sound of the electric spark igniting

the burner.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Ifthe knob stays at LITE, it will continue

to click.

When one burner is turned to LITE,

all the burners spark. Do not attempt to

disassemble or clean around any burner

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has four sealed

gas burners.They offer convenience

and flexibility to be used in a wide range

of cooking applications.

The smallest burner inthe right rear position

isthe simmer burner. Thisburner can be

turned down to a very low simmer setting.

It provides precise cooking performance for

delicate foods such as sauces or foods that

require low heat for a long cooking time.

The medium (leftrear and, on some models,

left front) and the large (right front and, on

some models, left front) burners are the

primary burners for most cooking.These

general-purpose burners can be turned down

from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking

needs.

NOTE:On some models, the burners are all

the same sizeand power.

8

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the

flames extend up the sidesof the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob,as you reduce

heat. When fast heating is desired,the flame

size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the

cookware will not result infaster heating

of the cookware and could be hazardous.

GEAppliances.com

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware

is recommended because it heats quickly

and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in

an aluminum skillet. Usesaucepans with

tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum

amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly,most skillets

will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions,

the enamel of some cookwure may melt.

Follow cookware manufacturer's

recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass

cookware-those for oven use only and those

for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee

and teapots).Glassconducts heat very slowly.

HeatproofGlass-Ceramic: Can be used for

either surface or oven cooking. It conducts

heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check

cookware manufacturer's directions to be

sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor

heating properties and is usually combined

with copper,aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination

metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily

if they are used with medium heat

as the manufacturer recommends.

Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas

burners. If you use the stove top grill on the

sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete

combustion and can result in exposure to

carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable

current standards.

Thiscan behazardous to your health.

i ! ii

Usea flat-bottomed wok.

Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you use a 14" or smaller

flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom

sits flat on the grate. They are available at your

local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support

ring. Placingthe ring over the burner or grate

may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove

allowable standards. Thiscould be dangerous

to your health.

In Case of Power Failure

In caseof a power failure,you can light

the gas surface burners on your range with

a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,

then push in and turn the control knob

to the LITEposition. Useextreme caution

when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical

power failure occurs will continue to operate

normally.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin...

The racks have stop-locks, so that when

placed correctly on the rack supports

(Athrough E),they will stop before coming

completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the rack out to the bump on the

rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you,

tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack

(stop-locks)on the support, tilt up the

front and push the rack in.

NOTE:Therack is not designedto slideout

at the speciallow rock (R)position.

The ovenhas 5 rack positions.

It also hasa special low rack position(R)

for extra largeitems, suchas a large

turkey.

Plastic items on the cooktop may melt

if left too close to the vent.

Ventappearanceand locationvary.

Oven Vent

Youroven is vented through ducts at the rear

of the range. Do not block these ducts when

cooking in the oven-it is important that the

flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air

to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid

touching the vent openings or nearby

surfaces during oven or broiler operation-

they may become hot.

Handlesof pots and pans on the cooktop

may become hot if left too closeto the vent.

Do not leaveplastic or flammable items on

the cooktop-they may melt or ignite if left

too closeto the vent.

Do not leaveclosedcontainers on the

cooktop. Thepressurein closedcontainers

may increase,which may causethem

to burst.

Metal items will become very hot if they are

left on the cooktop, and could cause bums.

Power Outage

CAUTION: notmakeany

attempt to operate the electric ignition oven

during an electrical power failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during

a power failure. Gaswill not flow unless

the glow bar is hot.

Ifthe oven is in use when a power failure

occurs,the oven burner shuts off and cannot

be relit until power is restored. Thisis because

the flow of gas is automatically stopped

and will not resume when power is restored

until the glow bar has reached operating

temperature.

Oven Light (on some models)

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe callsfor it.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. Preheating is necessary

when convection baking and for good

results when baking cakes,cookies,

pastry and breads.

Baking results will be better if foods are

centered in the oven as much as possible.

Pans should not touch each other or the

walls of the oven.

For best resultswhen baking four cake layers

at a time, use racks Band D.Placethe lower

pans at the back of the rack and the upper

pans at the front of the rack as shown so that

one pan is not directly above another leaving

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch

a spilloverby placing it on a lower rack

several inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

Asyour oven heats up, the temperature

change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

Thesedroplets are harmless and will

evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).

Ifyou decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-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 by 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 resultswith your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%

vegetable oil. 21

Using the self-cleaning oven.

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

The oven door must be closed and oil controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

'Before aClean Cycle

Wipe up heavysoil onthe ovenbottom.

For the first self-clean cycle,we recommend

venting your kitchen with an open window or

using a ventilation fan or hood.

Remove the racks,any broiler pan, broiler

grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from

the oven.

The oven racks can be self-cleaned,

but they will darken, lose their luster

and become hard to slide.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven

protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus

the high clean cycle temperatures may

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

AWARNING: _fyourrangeisremovedforcleaning,se_icingoranyreason,be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure

to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Gratesshould bewashed

regularly and, of course, after spillovers.Wash

them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean

water. When replacing the grates, be sure

they are positioned securely over

the burners.

On models with professional-style double

grates, the grates are position-specific. For

maximum stability, these grates should only

be used in their proper position; they cannot

be interchanged left to right or front to back.

For convenience,the undersides of the left

and right grates are marked "LEFTFRONT"

and "RIGHTFRONT."

Do not operate a burner for an extended

period of time without cookware on the grate.

The finish on the grate may chip without

cookware to absorb the heat.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates

in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia

and let them soak several hours or overnight.

Wash, rinse well and dry.

Although they are durable, the grates

will gradually losetheir shine,regardless

of the best care you can give them. This

is due to their continual exposure to high

temperatures. Youwill notice this sooner

with lighter color grates.

NOTE:Do not clean the gratesina self-cleaning

oven.

Drip Pons (ifsoequipped)

Removethe grates and lift out the drip pans.

Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher

[] Removethe grates.

r_ Grasp the two front burner wells

and lift up.

Vent appearance and location vary.

Oven Air Vents

Neverblock 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 warming drawer, storage drawer

or kick panel (dependingon the model).

29

Care and cleaning of the range.

Lift the door straight up and off

the hinges.

Thegasket isdesignedwith a gap

at the bottomto allow for proper

air circulation.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.

Youmay need help removing and replacing

the door.

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 since

the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges

1 are inthe special stop position. Position

the slots in the bottom of the door squarely

over the hinges.Then lower the door slowly

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:

Do not allow excesswater to run into

any holes or slots in the door.

Becausethe area insidethe gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle,you

do not need to clean this by hand. Any

soup left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

iii,The area outside the gasket can be

cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.

To clean the outside of the door:

iii, Usesoap and water to thoroughly clean

the top, sides and front of the oven door.

Rinsewell.Youmay also use a glass

cleaner to clean the glass on the outside

of the door.

iii,Spillageof marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and busting materials containing

acids may cause discoloration and should

be wiped up immediately. When the

surface is cool, clean and rinse.

iii_Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

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 rack below the

rack 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 lemon juice) 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. It can affect airflow if the

holes are blockedand 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.

WARNING! ANTI-TIP DEVICE

• All ranges can tip.

• BURNS or other SERIOUS

INJURIES can result.

• INSTALL and CHECKthe

ANTI-TIP bracket following

the instructions supplied

with the bracket.

To reduce the riskof tipping the range, the range must

be securedby a properly installedanti-tip bracket. See

installation instructions shipped with the bracket for

complete detailsbefore attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installedand engagedproperly,

carefully tip the range forward. Thebracket should stop the

range within 4inches.If it does not, the bracket must be

reinstalled.If the range is pulled from the wall for any

reason,always repeat this procedure to verify the range

is properly securedby the anti-tip bracket.

For free-standing or slide-in ranges,never completely remove

the levelinglegs or the range will not be secured

to the anti-tip deviceproperly.

Ifyou did not receivean anti-tip bracket with your purchase,

call 1.800.626.8774to receiveone at no

cost (in Canada,call 1.800.561.3344).For installation

instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com

(inCanada,GEAppliances.ca).

For your safety, never use your range for warming

or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not

designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not

be operated without cookwore on the grate. Such abuse

could result in fire and damage to your range and will

void your warranty.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

Do not use oven for o storage area. Items stored

in the oven can ignite.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials

accumulate in or near the range.

36

Installation Instructions

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to

strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind

the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings

around the base of the range that supply fresh air for

combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by

carpeting or woodwork.

Yourrange, like many other household items, is heavy and

can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl

or carpeting. Usecare when moving the range on this type

of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and

inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(orsimilar 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 plywood to the same level

or higher than the floor covering.

Thiswill allow the range to be moved for cleaning

or servicing.Also,make sure your floor covering will

withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

Hake sure the wall coverings around your range can

withstand the heat generated (upto 200°F)by the range.

(Seethe Installation SafetyInstructions section.)

ITI PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

This range is designed for an operating manifold

pressure of 4" or S" water column (W.C.) on natural gas

(see rating label on product) or 10" W.C. on LP gas.

Thisrange comes from the factory setfor use on natural

gas, but it is convertible for use on LPgas. If you decide to

use this range on LPgas,conversion must be made by a

qualified LPinstaller before attempting to operate the

range.

Forproper operation, the inlet pressureto the regulator

should be at least 1" W.C.above the operating manifold

pressure but must not exceed 14"W.C.

The pressure regulator located atthe inlet of the range

manifold must remain in the supply line regardlessof

whether natural or LPgas is being used. When checking for

proper operation of the regulator,the inlet pressure must be

at least 1" greater than the operating manifold pressure.

Aflexible metal appliance connector used to connect the

range to the gas supply lineshould have an I.D.of 1/2"and

be 5feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,

flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no

longer than 6feet in length.

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut offthe main gas supply valve before disconnecting

the old range and leave it off until the new hookup 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 CSAInternational-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,you must carefully 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 lineshut-off valve in the gas line

in an easilyaccessed location outside of the range.

Hake sure everyone operating the range knows where

and how to shut offthe gas supply to the range.

B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT

internal thread at inlet of regulator. Usea 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 supply valve. Usea liquid leak detector

at alljoints and connections to check for leaks in

the system.

WARNING: DO NOT USEA FLAME

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2

psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate

the range from the gas supply system by closing the

individual shut-off valve.

Extension Cord Cautions

Becauseof potential safety hazards associated with certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of

an extension cord. However if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessarythat it be a

UL-listed,3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord

and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes

be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

IMPORTANT--(Pleoseread carefully)

FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCEMUST

BEPROPERLYGROUNDED.

PreferredMethod

Ensure proper ground

e2:ists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding)plug which mates with a standard

3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the

possibilityof electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,

it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the

customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-

prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE

THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word obout GFCIs- GFCIsore not required or

recommended for gos ronge receptocles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)are devicesthat

senseleakage of current in a circuit and automatically

switch off power when a threshold leakage level isdetected.

Thesedevices must be manually reset by the consumer.

The National ElectricalCode requiresthe use of GFCIsin

kitchen receptacles installedto servecountertop surfaces.

Performanceof the rangewill not be affected if operated

on a GFCI-protectedcircuit but occasional nuisancetripping

of the GFCIbreaker is possible.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will

Be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.

Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local

codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay be

made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by

the use of a UL-listedadapter, 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 polarity in the connection of the power cord.

TemporaryMethod

^_ CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground

terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not

ground the appliance unlessthe cover screw is metal,

and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded

through the house wiring. The customer should have

the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make

sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,

always hold the adapter with one hand. Ifthis is not done,

the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with

repeated use.Shouldthis happen, DO NOTUSE the

appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

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 2-prong

wall receptacle replaced with a B-prong (grounding)

receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the

appliance.
