CAUTION:
THESE RANGES MUST BE INSTALLED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A SUITABLE OVER-
HEAD VENT HOOD. Due to the high heat
capacity of this unit, particular attention
should be paid to the hood and duct work
installation to assure it meets local building
codes.
Standard installations:
48" Ranges require a 800 to 1200 CFM Hood.
36" Ranges require 600 to 800 CFM Hood.
Hoods should be 24" min. deep and the same
width as the cooktop.
Island installations:
48" Ranges require a 800 to 1200 CFM Hood.
36" Ranges require 600 to 1200 CFM Hood.
Hoods should be 30" min. deep and 36" wide
at the bottom.
Note: When installing a range that includes a
grill, select a blower on the high end of CFM
recommendation.
Check local building codes for the proper
method of gas range installation. Local codes
vary. Installation, electrical connections and
grounding must comply with applicable codes.
In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop
should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 223.1-1990 and
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
CAUTION:
These ranges weigh up to 600 pounds. Some
disassembly will reduce the weight consider-
ably. Due to the weight and size of the range
and to reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the product, TWO PEOPLE ARE

regulator is required at the L.P. source to
provide a maximum of 14" water pressure to the
range regulator.
•These gas ranges are supplied with 1/2" NPT
female gas connection located at the left rear
corner.
•A minimum 5/8" dia. metal flexible line is
required.

back wall as illustrated.
— Use 5-foot, 5/8" long flexible gas supply line.
•For rigid connection, locate the pipe stub as
illustrated.
•Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line, in
an easily accessible location.
Electric Supply:
These ranges must be supplied with 208/240
volt, 60 Hz., and connected to a individual,

Screws
The range is secured to the skid with 2 bolts in
the front and 2 “L” brackets on the bottom
flange of the range back. Remove bolts and
“L” brackets.
To simplify handling and to reduce the weight
of the range:
•Remove the grates and drawers below the
knobs.
•Remove grill and griddle covers. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A GRILL OR
GRIDDLE ASSEMBLY.
•Remove the broiler pans/literature package
from inside oven(s). •Remove the panel from the rear of the
shipping pack. Lay the panel on the floor
directly in front of the installation location.
The range should be placed on this panel to
prevent damage to the floor.
•Remove the two strips from the oven
interior. Place the strips on the floor at the
left and right sides of the installation
location. These strips provide a surface for
sliding the range into the final position and
will prevent damage to the floor. The
leveling legs must rest permanently on these
runner strips.

•Carefully, slide the range into position.
Be careful not to entange power cord and
gas flexible tubing.
•Check to be sure the front of the range is
level. Adjust front leveling legs accordingly.
•Replace the front kick panel by reversing the
proceedure described in Step 1.
To replace the oven doors:
•Slide the hinges into the openings. The
hinge should rest in the center of each
hinge roller.
•Open the door fully and unlock hinge
latches.
CAUTION: Take care when replacing the
oven doors. If the hinge latch is not securely
locked, the hinge may snap back and sepa-
rate. If the hinge separates, you must apply
pressure (possibly with your foot) to press it
back together and then engage the brass
hinge latch.

Burners
•Replace the burner bowls and burner caps.
•Adjustments should not be required, unless
vibration during transit or variations in local
gas supply make minor adjustments neces-
sary.
CAUTION: Burner adjustments must be made
by a qualified technician at the time of installa-
tion. Extreme care should be used if adjust-
ments are made after installation.
•Burner flames should be blue and stable with
no yellow or yellow tips, excessive noise or
lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of
these conditions exist, check that the air
shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If
one of these conditions continues, adjust the
air shutter as required.
–If the flame is too yellow, there is insufficient
air flow, adjust the shutter counterclockwise
to increase air inlet.
–If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away
from the burner, there is too much air. Turn
the shutter clockwise to reduce air.
The open top burners and grill valves have an
adjustable low setting. Each valve is individu-
ally tested and adjusted before it is shipped.
Minor adjustments may be required due to
fluctuations in local gas pressure. Adjustments
to increase or decrease gas flow may be
necessary.
•Turn knob counter-clockwise to the LITE
position.
•Once lit, turn the know back to the “LOW”
position.
•Remove the knob.
•Insert a thin-blade flat screwdriver into the
