•Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make
sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least
90°F above room temperature without shrinking,
warping or discoloring. Do not installthe range over
carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of
1/4-inch thick plywood between the range and carpeting.
•Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the
oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower
front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot
while theoven isinoperation. This range requires fresh air
for proper burner combustion.
Never leave children alone or unattended
inthe area where an appliance is in use. As childrengrow,
teachthemtheproper,safeuse ofallappliances. Never leave
the ovendooropenwhen therangeisunattended.
Stepping, leaning orsitting on the doors or
drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and
can also cause damage to the range.
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the range. Children couldbe seriously
burnedclimbingon the rangeto reach items.
To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.
Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Normal Installation Steps
1, Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reducethe riskoftippingofthe range,the rangemustbe
securedtothefloorbyproperlyinstalled anti-tipbracketand
screws packed with the range. Failure to installthe anti-tip
bracketwillallowthe range totipover ifexcessiveweightis
placedon an open door or ifa childclimbsupon it. Serious
injurymightresultfrom spilledhot liquidsor fromthe 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 orwall. When installed to the wall,
make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are
secured in wood or metal. When fastening tothe floor or wall,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.

Locate the Bracket Using theTemplate- (Bracket may
be located on eitherthe left or rightside ofthe range. Use
the information below to locate the bracket iftemplate is
not available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right
side ofthe range willbe located. Ifrear of range isagainst
thewall or no furtherthan 1-1/4"from wall when installed,
you may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding
is installed and does not allow the bracket to fit flush
against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket tothe
floor. 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" 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 belocated. Mark the location of the screw
holes, shown in template.
B° Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
holewhere screwsare tobe located. Ifbracketisto be

range and carefully attempt to tilt itforward.
2. Provide an adequate gas supply,
This unitis pre-set to operate on 4" natural gas manifold
pressure. Aconvertible 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 regulatorto LP/Propane use.The LPkitcan befound
on the back side of the range.
Care must betaken during installation of range nottoobstruct
the flowof 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
1inch greater than regulator manifold pressure. Examples: If
regulator isset for natural gas 4 inchmanifold 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.
Leaktesting ofthe appliance shall be conducted according to
the instructions in step 4g.
The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3/4" I.D.

Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnect the range and its individualshut-off valve from
the gas supplypipingsystemduringany pressuretestingof
that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water
columnpressure (approximately1/2"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 lessthan 14"of water column pressure
(approximately 1/2" psig).
If it should be necessary to check themanifold gas pressu re,
connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device
to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with
inside diameter ofapproximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight
over orifice. 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
isat least one inch above specified range manifold pressure.
The gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water
column. When properly adjusted for Natural Gasthe manifold
pressure is 4." (For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure
is 10.")
5. Read electrical connection details below
and connect electricity to range.
Before servicing, disconnect electrical
supply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord.
Electric Reauirements: An individual, properly grounded and
polarized branch circuit protected bya 15amp. circuit breaker
or time delay fuse. See serial plate for proper voltage.
