Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified

electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not

sure range is properly grounded.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, At-only, 10-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. In addition to checking that the outlet is correctly grounded, the outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is wired with correct polarity.

A wiring diagram is included on the back of the range.

See "Cabinet dimensions/requirements," Page 2, for recommended location of electrical outlet.

Recommended

ground method

For personal safety, this range is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -latest edition* or CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1, -- latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

If a mating outlet is not available, it isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CGA approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed

14" water column. Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and

authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, or fire.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

This installation must conform with IocM codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with American

National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1 --latest edition* or CAN/CGA-B149 -latest edition** installation codes.

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For assistance when installingthe range at higher elevations, contact your local service company.

Type of gas: This range is design-certified by the

American Gas Association (A.G.A.) and the

Canadian Gas Association (C.G.A.) for use with

Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with h P. gas. This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. Gas conversion instructions are provided on pages 7-8. The model/serial rating plate located on the frame behind the storage drawer or broiler door has information on the type of gas that can be used. If the type of gas listed does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

Page 3

Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas must be used on pipe threads only.

Flexible metal appliance connector: If local codes permit, a new A.G.A. or C.G.A. design-certified,

1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting range to the gas supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is needed for connection to pressure regulator female pipe threads. Do Not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.

Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block access to shutoff valve.

Pressure regulator: The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

NATURAL GAS:

Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP

Maximum pressure: 14 inchesWCP

L.P. GAS:

Minimum pressure: 11 inchesWCP

Maximum pressure: 14 inchesWCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge

(14" WCP) -- The range and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge

(14" WCP) or lower- The range must be

isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3,5 kPa),

Check operation

Electronic ignition system

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a cooktop control knob is turned to the "LIGHT" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface ignitor heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas, No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burners operate.

• "PrE," and "10:00" will appear in the display.

• "HEAT" and "ON" indicators will light.

The oven burner should light in 50-60 seconds; this delay is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow.

mPush in and turn each surface unit control knob to "LIGHT" position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. Turn control knob to "HIGH" position after burner lights.

Check each cooktop burner for proper flame.

The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long.

The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting too much air, If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air. Turn surface burner control knobs to "OFF" position. Adjust air shutter if needed.

if surface burners need adjusting:

1. Remove control knobs. Do Not use a metal blade to pry off control knob; this could

damage the product• If the control knob

cannot be easily removed, tuck a cloth under the knob and pull out on the cloth with

steady, even pressure to remove the knob•

2.Open oven door and remove 3 screws from bottom of manifold panel. Pull down slightly on manifold panel and pull panel away from range.

- Push in and turn each cooktop control knob from "LIGHT" to "LOW" setting quickly. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame.

If flame needs to be adjusted, turn control knob to the "LOW" setting and remove control knob. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve screw to obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned from "HIGH" to "LOW".

Repeat for other cooktop burners as needed.

L2 screws

You can check the burner flame by removing the flame spreader or by using a mirror.

Remove flame spreader:

Remove two screws from the front tabs of the flame spreader. Lift front of the flame spreader and pull forward to remove tabs from rear of oven.

Using a mirror:

Insert mirror to one side of the burner. Look into mirror to check flame.

[] Follow the instructionsfor your type of oven controls.

3. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, adjust the air shutter for each burner as needed. Close the air shutter to decrease the amount of air to the flame. Open the air shutter to increasethe amount of air to the flame. Adjust the air shutter to the widest opening that will not cause the flame to lift or blow off of the burner.

4. Repeat the first part of Step 15 after adjusting the air shutters.

5. Replace manifold panel by tightening 3 screws

in bottom of manifold panel.
