LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong
drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range
should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and
ventilation are not blocked by carpeting or woodwork.
The range, like many other household units, is heavy and
can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this
type of flooring.
Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging
the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard or plywood to
avoid damaging the floor covering.
This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation
system that blows air downward toward the range.
This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
When the floor covering ends at the front of the range,
the area that the range will be installed on should be built
up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor
covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
and servicing, as well as proper air flow to the range.
Also, make sure the floor covering can resist 180°F (82°C).
See the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" (included in
this manual).
Make sure the wall coverings around the range can resist
the heat generated (up to 200°F/93°C) by the range. See
the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" (included in this
manual).

WARNING
PROVIDING ADEQUATE GAS
SUPPLY
The range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5” of
water column on natural gas or 10” of water column on
L P.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is configured.
This range is convertible for use on natural or LP gas. When
using this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by
a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the
range.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 5” and 13” of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be
between 10” and 13” of water column. When checking for
correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be
at least 1” more than the operating (manifold) pressure as
given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range must
remain in the supply line regardless of which type of gas is
being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 5/8”
and a max of 5ft. In Canada, flexible connectors must be
single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.

INSTALLING THE RANGE 9
ENGLISH
CONNECTING THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing the
old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been
completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
NEVER reuse an old connector when installing a new range.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint
sealant on all external threads.
1. Install male 1/2" or 3/4v flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
2. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a
backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to
prevent damage.
Make sure the gas pressure regulator valve is open. If it is
shut, remove the rubber O-ring and rotate the lever on the
valve to open it.
Lever’s open
position
Lever’s closed
position
The regulator valve is open when shipped. If the range
does not work, make sure the regulator valve is still
open.
NOTE
3. Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
4. When all connections have been made, be sure all
range controls are in the OFF position and the pressure
regulator valve is open before turning on the main gas
supply valve. Gas leaks may occur in your system and
result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be
detected by smell alone.
Check all gas connection joints and fittings for leaks
with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, then wipe off.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL
approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance
with the installation instructions.
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
WARNING
Isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2" psig (3.5 kPa).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow blow
fuse.
If an external electrical source is used, the appliance, when
installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
GROUNDING
IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
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
grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of
GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop
surfaces.
Performance of the range will not be affected if operated
on a GFCI-protected circuit but the occasional resetting of
the circuit can become an annoyance.
PREFERRED
METHOD
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
CAUTION
DO NOT use an adapter plug. Disconnecting the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile
home installation must conform with the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile
Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280)
or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI
A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile
home installation must be in accordance with the current
CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE
SERVICING THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

UBICACIÓN
No coloque su estufa donde pueda estar expuesta a
fuertes corrientes de aire. Cualquier abertura en el piso
o pared detrás de la estufa debe sellarse. Asegúrese
que las aberturas alrededor de la base de la estufa que
suministran aire fresco para combustión y ventilación no
estén bloqueadas por alfombras o estructuras de madera.
Su estufa, como muchos otros aparatos del hogar, es pesada
y puede instalarse sobre revestimientos de piso suaves como
por ejemplo vinilo acojinado o alfombra. Tenga cuidado al
momento de mover la estufa en este tipo de pisos.
Utilice una correa al mover la estufa, para evitar dañar el
piso. O deslice la estufa sobre un cartón o madera enchapada
para evitar dañar el revestimiento del piso.
Este equipo no se debe de instalar con un sistema de
ventilación que circule aire hacia la parte baja trasera de
la estufa. Este tipo de sistema de ventilación puede causar
problemas de ignición y combustión en el equipo de gas,
pudiendo resultar en lesiones y funcionamiento inadecuado.
Cuando el revestimiento de piso termina al frente de la estufa,
el área donde la estufa va a ser instalada debe estar hecha
de madera laminada al mismo nivel o más arriba que el
revestimiento de piso. Esto permitirá mover la estufa para
limpieza y servicio, así como para un flujo de aire apropiado
para la estufa.
También, asegúrese que el revestimiento de pared
sea resistente a 82˚C (180˚F). Ver “INSTRUCCIONES DE
SEGURIDAD DE LA INSTALACIÓN” (incluidas en este manual).
Asegúrese que los revestimientos de pared alrededor de su
estufa resistan el calor generado (hasta 93˚C/200˚F)por
la estufa. Ver “INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD DE LA
INSTALACIÓN” (incluidas en este manual).
