5. Reconnect Gas and Electrical Supply to
Range.
Leaktesting of the appliance shall beconducted according
to the Installation instructions provided with the Range.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
If it should he necessary to check the manifold gas pressure,
remove the burner cap, choke, and connect a manometer
(water gauge) or other pressure device to the top right rear
burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of
approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Turn burner valve on. For an accurate pressure check, have
at least two (2) other surface 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. When properly
adjusted the manifold water column pressure is 1O" for LP/
Propane gas or 4" for Natural gas.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
a. 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).
b. 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).
6. Adjust the "LOW" Setting for Linear Flow
Surface Burner Valves:
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. Turn counterclockwise to increase flame size.
Turn clockwise to decrease flame size.
Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to
LOWEST POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame
should be as small as possible without going out.
7. Air Shutter-Oven Burner
The air shutter for the oven burner may need adjustment,
especially if the unit has been converted for use with LP/
Propane gas. The approximate flame length of the oven
burner is 1 inch (distinct inner, blue flame).

To determine if the oven burner flame is proper:
a. To access the air shutter you must remove the warmer
drawer, see instructions on page 2.
b. Remove the oven bottom by removing the screws at
rear of oven bottom. Lift up the rear of oven bottom
and slide toward back of range to disengage from front
of oven front frame.
c. Remove burner baffle by removing nut located on top
of baffle and two screws from front edge of oven front
frame. Lift baffle straight up and out of the oven.
d. Settheoventobakeat350°Fandobservetheflame. If
the flame is yellow in color, increase air shurter opening
size. Ifthe flame is adistinct blue color, but lifting away
from the burner; reduce the air shutter opening size.
e. Turn off oven and allow to cool before adjusting air
shutter. To adjust loosen lock-screw (See Figure 10),
reposition air shutter, and tighten lock-screw.
*For operation at elevations above 2000 ft., appliance
rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each
1000 ft. above sea level.

b, If adjustment to the air shutter is necessary, locate the
broiler burner air shutter, loosen shutter set screw, and
adjust to obtain optimum flame. This will normally be
completely open for LP/Propane gas. If the flame is
yellow in color, increase the air shutter opening size. If
the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the
burner, reduce the air shutter opening size. Tighten
the shutter set screw.

9. Replace Kick Panel, Storage Drawer or
Warmer Drawer:
(instructions for warmer drawer)
a. Pull the bearing glides to the front of the chassis glide
(see picture below).
b. Align the glide on each side of the drawer with the
glide slots on the range.
c. Push the drawer into the range until levers "click"
(approximately 2"). Pull the drawer open again to seat
bearing glides into position. If you do not hear the
levers "click" or the bearing glides do not feel seated
remove the drawer and repeat steps "a" through "c".
This will minimize possible damage to the bearing
glides.

CONVERSION TO NATURAL GAS
If it becomes necessary to convert the range back to natural
gas:
a. Disconnect gas and electrical supply from range.
b. Convert pressure regulator (seestep 1), turn cap over so
the solid end of cap faces outward. Place the hollow
end of the cap into the loop end of the dust protector,
c. For small burner: Remove screw and choke in center of
burner. Replace 0.72 mm LP/Propane gas orifice with
1.16 mm Natural gas orifice. Replace choke and screw.
(See step 2 for small burner.)
d. For medium burner: Remove screw "B" and restrictor.
Remove screw "A" and choke. Replace 0.89 mm LP/
Propane gas orifice with 1.60 mm Natural gas orifice.
(See step 2 for medium burner,)
e. For large burner: Remove screw "A" and choke.
Replace 1.00 mm LP/Propane gas orifice with 1.73 mm
Natural gas orifice. (See step 2 for large burner.)
f. Convert Oven Burner Orifice for Natural Gas byloosening
