SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not store or use gasoline, liquid propane cylinder or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

The installation and service of your range must be performed by a qualified installer, an approved service agency or the gas supplier.

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 fuel. When operating your range on natural gas, the flames from the burners should be blue in color. In addition, the flames should be stable, free of yellow tipping, excessive noise and lifting. However, this yellow tipping should be restricted to the primary flame kernels only. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or use of a ventilation fan or hood.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding

• The power cord is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electrical shock hazard from the range.
• All cord connected appliance shall include instructions relative to location of the wall receptacle and a warning to the user to disconnect the electrical supply before serving the appliance.
• Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power cord.

Connect Range to Gas Supply

• Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside the range in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

• Install male 12 " flare union adapter to 12 " NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. On models equipped with standard twin burners, install the male pipe thread end of the 12 " flare union adapter to the 12 " NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

• Install male 12 " or 34 " flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to secure the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

- The gas supply pressure for checking the regulator setting is 6in (Natural Gas) and 11inch LP gas connect flexible gas line connector to the regulator on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

- When all connections have been made, check that all range controls are in the "off" position and turn on the main gas supply valve.

- Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacture's instructions. Use some soap water (50% water and 50% soap) or a leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system. Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

- The appliance must be isolated from the building's gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 12 psig (3.5kPa).

RANGE HOOD INSTALLATION

Due to the high power of the top burners, we do not recommend the use of downdraft ventilation systems. A range hood with at least 450 CFM is advisable.

The bottom of the hood should be 30" min. to 36" above the counter top. This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66" to 72" above the floor. These dimensions provide safe and efficient operation of the hood.

After Installation:

Check ignition of cooktop burners.

Check the air shutter adjustment – sharp blue flame, with no yellow tipping or lifting flames.

Check ignition of oven burner.

Visually check tubular burner (oven burner) re-ignition to be sure both rows of burner ports are relighting each time.

Check for gas leaks at all gas connections (using a gas detector, never a flame).

Check oven bake and convection bake function.

Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at "Hi", it will continue to click.
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “Hi” position, all the burners will spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.

Heat Settings:

Hi	Ignites the burners.
Simmer	Melting small quantities, steaming rice, warming food, melting chocolate or butter.
Low	Melting large quantities.
Low-Medium	Low-temperature frying, simmering large quantities, heating milk, cream sauces, gravies.
Medium	Sautéing and browning, braising, pan-frying, maintaining slow boil on large quantities.
Medium -Hi	High-temperature frying, pan boiling, maintaining slow boil on large quantities.
Hi	Boiling liquid quickly, deep frying.

Simmer and Boil

• A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.
- The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling and pasta cooking.

Flame Size

• When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
  • Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
  • The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation.
