NormalInstallationSteps
1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor 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 floor 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 floor or wall,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.
A. Locate theBracket Using theTemplate - (Bracket may
belocated on either the left or right side oftherange. Use
the information below to locate the bracket if template is
notavailable). Mark the floororwallwhere left orrightside
of the range will be located. If rear of range is against the
wallornofurther than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you
may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is
installedanddoesnotallowthebracket to fit flush against
thewall, remove moldingormountbracket to thefloor.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 oftemplateandmarklocation
of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than
1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the
floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back
edge of the template where the rear of the range will be
located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in
template.
B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be
mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20°
downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry
or ceramic floors, drill a 3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The

Do not use flame to check for gas leaks.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnecttherangeand 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,
connectmanometer (water gauge)orother pressure deviceto
thetop burnerrightrear orifice. Usingarubber hosewithinside
diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over
orifice. Turnburnervalve on.
Foranaccuratepressure check have at least two (2) other top
burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at
least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The
gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water column.
Whenproperly adjustedforNaturalGas themanifoldpressure

30"GASRANGEINSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
(For gas venturi models with electric ignition)
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 electric power.
Check Surface Burners
To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface burner knob
to the LITE position. Each burner should light within four (4)
seconds in normal operation. Once the burner lights, the knob
shouldbe rotated out of the LITE position. Try each knob separately
until all burner valves have been checked.
6. Operation of Surface Burners
7.Air adjustment
The air shutter (adjustment) for each of the four top burners is
located at the open end of the venturi tube and sets on the hood
of the valve.
Should the air shutter need adjusting, rotate the air shutter to allow
more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.
If the air is properly adjusted, the flame will be steady, relatively
quiet, and have approximately 1/2" sharp blue cone. (Usually
about the center of air shutter's ajustment.)
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. If
the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the burner, reduce
the air shutter opening size.
8. Oven Burner Adjustments
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 electric power.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as
well as an electric oven burner igniter.
These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is
set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will "glow" similar
to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature
sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will
open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time
lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON
before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven
reaches the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner
flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes "OFF."
To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue
as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven:
a) Set oven to BAKE at 300ºF. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.
b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for
proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset
controls to off.
c) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for
proper flame. Reset controls to off.
