3. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

Instructions Important Safety Warning To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range should be secured to the oor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or 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 oor or wall. When installed to the wall, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the oor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template - (Bracket may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use the information below to locate the bracket if template is not available). Mark the oor or wall where left or right side of the range will be located. If rear of range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4" (32 mm) from wall when installed, you may use the wall or oor mount method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket to t ush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket to the oor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against the rear wall and the side edge of template on the mark made referencing the side of the range. Place bracket on top of template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/4" (32 mm) from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the oor.

4. Provide an adequate gas

supply. Please note: Operation at elevations above 2000 ft., appliance rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1000 ft. above sea level. This appliance is pre-set to operate on 4” natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible 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 installation of range not to obstruct the ow 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. Example: 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.

5. Seal wall openings.

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the oor under the range after gas supply line is installed. 6.Connect range to gas supply. Note: To prevent leaks use pipe joint sealant on all male (outside) pipe threads. Do not allow gas pressure reg- ulator to turn on pipe when tightening ttings. a. Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas supply line in an accessible location outside of range. Be sure you know where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range (See Fig. 8). b. Install 1/2” are union adapter to gas pressure regulator using no more than 15ft./lbs. of torque (Refer to Fig. 8).8

OPEN CLOSED Checking manifold gas pressure Do not use ame to check for gas leaks. 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 column 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 orice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4,” hold tubing down tight over orice. 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 specied range manifold pressure. 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”. c. Tighten the gas supply tting and/or appliance conduit to are union adaptor on the right side of the pressure regulator (refer to Fig. 10) using NO MORE THAN 15ft./lbs. of torque. Be sure to stabilize the 1/2” are union adapter with an adjustable wrench before tightening the gas supply tting and/or appliance conduit. d. Install are union adapter to external manual shut-off valve (See Fig. 8). e. Attach exible appliance conduit to are union adaptor on shut-off valve (See Fig. 8). f.

7. Read the following

electrical connection details before connecting electricity to range. Before servicing, disconnect electrical sup- ply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord. Electric requirements: A dedicated, properly grounded and polarized branch circuit protected by a 15 amp. circuit breaker or time delay fuse. See serial plate for proper voltage. Extension cord precautions: Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of any extension cord. However, if you still choose to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that 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. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service organization. Please read carefully! For personal safety, this product must be properly grounded. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord (See Fig. 12). Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly ground- ed three-prong wall receptacle.

placement. It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the appliance. Please note that the burner heads are secured to the cooktop. The cooktop is not removeable. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop. To prevent are-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas ame size. Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use. Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orice holder openings. Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all round style burner caps are correctly in place on round burner heads. Check and be sure that all oval style burner caps are cor- rectly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check and be sure that all dual or twin style burner caps are cor- rectly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped). On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 13) should t snug into the center of burner head and be level. Refer to Figs. 14 & 15 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in place, you may check the t by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 16) to be sure it is centered and rmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.10

9. Check ignition of surface

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 elec- tric power. a. To check for proper ignition, push in and turn a surface burner knob counterclockwise to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking. b. The surface burner should ignite when gas is available to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines. c. Visually check that burner has a ame. Once the burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position. d. Try each surface control knob separately until all surface burners have been checked. Each burner location is equipped with a separate electrode.

10. Adjust LOW setting of

surface burner valves (linear ow). Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted: a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites. b. Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position. c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF. d. Remove the surface burner control knob. e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 18). f. Adjust ame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the ame. Flame should be as small as possible without extinguishing. Note: Air mixture adjustments are not required on surface burners.

11. Check ignition of oven

burners. The operation of oven igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to elec- tric power. Be sure all packing materials and literature are removed from oven. The oven burner is equipped with an electric control sys- tem as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is equipped with an upper oven burner, it will also have an electric burner igniter. These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will ow to the igniter. It will “glow” similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature sufcient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open and ame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the ame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the set temperature, the glowing igniter will cycle off. The burner ame will turn off in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter turns off. To maintain any set oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the oven control is set to operate. To check oven burner ignition: a. Set oven to Bake at 300ºF. See User’s Manual for operating instructions. b. Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for proper ame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset control to OFF. c. If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler, set oven to Broil. See User’s Manual for operating instructions. d. Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for proper ame. Reset control to OFF.11
