packing material and accessories from oven interior.
DO NOT LIFT RANGE BY THE FRONT RAIL.
IF RANGE IS EQUIPPED WITH A FRYTOP SECTION, REMOVE WOOD
SHIPPING STRIPS LOCATED BELOW THE GREASE TROUGH.
Then assemble as follows:
Floor Mounted Range:
1. Screw the adjustable feet of the legs in all the way. Then tightly screw the
complete leg assembly into mounting holes at each corner of the range. If the
unit is intended for curb installation, no legs are provided. The curb must be
non-combustible material.
2. Install door handle by placing threaded ends of handle through
pre-punched holes on exterior door panel (see diagram for correct orientation).
Secure handle with screws that are mounted through pre- punched holes of in-
terior liner.
3. Lift high shelf above the range and slide channels into position. Secure

INSTALLATION
Counter Ranges:
Set unit in desired position and secure to counter using holes provided at rear and bracket at front.
All Ranges:
1. Install Open Top sections by aligning cut-outs of open top grate ( A )
with pattern of the burner head ( B ). Grate should have even spacing around
the body of the burner head ( C ).
2. Install top burner valve handles and thermostat knob(s). If top burner
valve handles fit loose on valve shaft, spread slot on end of shaft slightly with
screwdriver blade so that handle will fit snug.
3. When range is in permanent position, level unit by placing carpenter’s
level on oven bottom and level from front to back and side to side.
ADJUST AS FOLLOWS:
FLOOR & COUNTER INSTALLATION ON LEGS: The foot of the leg
should be adjusted all the way in before attempting to level the unit. To increase
the height of the leg, rotate the adjustable foot clockwise until desired height is
achieved. Repeat this procedure with all legs. Use a level to ensure that all legs
have been adjusted correctly.
CURB INSTALLATION: Level range from front to rear and side to side us-
ing a carpenter’s level. Place shim under low side.
(A) (B) (C)
2

INSTALLATION
FRY TOP RANGES:
Leveling bolts are at the rear of the range under the Fry Top
plate. Adjust leveling bolts so that the plate is pitched to the
front to provide for grease runoff and proper ventilation. The
heat from the plate should rise to the rear of the unit to
prevent damage to valves and other components. Be sure
wooden strips have been removed from below grease trough.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
THIS RANGE IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH A GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR.
THE REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH THIS UNIT MUST BE USED.
FOR NATURAL GAS: This gas pressure regulator is factory adjusted for 6.0‖ W.C. manifold
pressure. The rated inlet pressure to the regulator should be 8 to 14 W.C.‖
FOR PROPANE GAS: This gas pressure regulator is factory adjusted for 10.0‖ W.C.
manifold pressure. The rated inlet pressure to the regulator should be 12 to 14‖ W.C.
Unless otherwise specified, the range is equipped with fixed orifices for use
with a manifold pressure of 6.0” water column for natural gas and 10.0” water
column for propane gas.
GAS CONNECTION:
Before connecting the range to the gas supply line, be sure that all new piping has been cleaned
and purged to prevent any foreign matter from being carried into the controls by the gas. In some
cases, filters or drops are recommended. A separate Gas Shut Off Valve must be installed upstream
from the gas pressure regulator adjacent to the range and be located in an accessible area.
It is important that adequately sized piping be run directly to the point of connection at the
range, with as few elbows and tees as possible. Consult local gas company for proper piping size
and gas pressure.
3

INSTALLATION
PIPE JOINT COMPOUND OR THREAD SEALANT THAT IS USED SHOULD BE
RESISTANT TO ACTION OF LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GASES.
Install the gas pressure regulator with gas flowing as indicated by the arrow on the regulator. Use
pipe compound or thread sealant and carefully thread regulator to pipe so that there is no cross
threading, etc., which could cause leakage.
Apply wrench only to the flat areas around the pipe tapping at the end being threaded to the pipe
to avoid possible damage to the regulator body which could result in leakage.
Connect the gas supply line from the Service Gas Shut Off valve to the inlet side of the gas
pressure regulator using 3/4‖ pipe. If flexible or semi-flexible connectors are used, an AGA listed
flexible connector with a minimum I.D. equal to 3/4‖ pipe must be used. Line sizing should be based
on the BTU rating or requirement of the unit installed. DO NOT USE A DOMESTIC APPLIANCE
TYPE GAS FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR. Avoid kinks or sharp bends that could restrict gas flow.
Turn Gas Shut Off Valve ―ON‖ and immediately check carefully for gas leaks. Do this before
attempting to operate the range.
TEST ALL PIPE JOINTS FOR LEAKS BEFORE OPERATING RANGE.
THIS INCLUDES ALL GAS CONNECTIONS THAT MAY HAVE LOOSENED DURING
SHIPMENT. USE A RICH SOAP SOLUTION (OR OTHER ACCEPTED LEAK
TESTER) AROUND ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS AND ALL OTHER JOINTS.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. ABSOLUTELY NO LEAKAGE SHOULD OCCUR,
OTHERWISE THERE IS A DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION DEPENDING UPON
CONDITIONS. NEVER USE IF LEAKAGE IS DETECTED.

INSTALLATION
BURNER ADJUSTMENT:
The efficiency of the range depends on a delicate balance between the supply of air and the
volume of gas so that complete combustion is achieved. Whenever this balance is disturbed, poor
operating characteristics occur.
The air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner. The air shutter openings
should be increased until the flame on the burner begins to ―lift‖. The air shutter should then be
closed slightly and locked in place. A yellow streaming flame indicates insufficient air. This condition
can be corrected by increasing the air shutter opening
.ADJUSTMENT
SCREW
FRY TOP AND OVEN THERMOSTATS:
The by-pass (minimum burner flame) has been adjusted at the factory and should require no
further adjustment.
THE BY-PASS FLAME MUST BE RECHECKED WHEN PERFORMING
CHECKOUT OF RANGE PRIOR TO PLACING EQUIPMENT IN
SERVICE. THE BY-PASS MUST BE SET CAREFULLY AND
ACCURATELY. REFER TO SERVICE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL FOR
PROPER PROCEDURE.

SUGGESTIONS
 There is not need to preheat an Open Top burner. Use full flame to start foods cooking quickly;
reduce the flame to simmer foods. Regulate the burner so that flame tips just touch the bottom
of the utensil. Use lids on pots to keep heat in. Turn burner off when not in use.
 Preheat Fry Top 10-15 minutes prior to use. Usually, medium to low flame is adequate for light
frying. If Fry Top has a thermostat, use it to avoid wasting gas and for best results. During slack
periods, turn the burner down.
10

MAINTENANCE
CARE AND CLEANING:
The complete range should be given a periodic general cleaning. Lint and grease suspended in
the air tend to collect in air passages. Therefore, all flueways, air passages and openings, burner
ports, primary air openings, etc., should be periodically cleaned to prevent clogging.
EXTERIOR:
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE: To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from
stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or
cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
To remove grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment,
apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the
polished lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the polished
lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil
and burned deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by
rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT
USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the
appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT
STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred collect dirt
more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive
attack.
TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces
where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by
thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally
be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous
scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS
scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not
applying or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
OPEN TOP SECTION:
DAILY: After grates are cooled, soak in solution of sal soda or other grease solvent.
Thoroughly wash open top section with a damp cloth using a mild detergent soap. Rinse with clean,
damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Remove and clean drip tray(s) under burners.
11

MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY: Brush burner head with a stiff wire brush and clean clogged ports with a stiff wire
or ice pick.
Excessive grease build up may be removed from burners by soaking in a solution of washing
soda or any good grease solvent. Dry burners by inverting on oven rack in a low temperature oven.
FRY TOP SECTION:
DAILY: Use flat edge of spatula or metal scraper to keep surface free of encrusted material
during use, wipe frequently with heavy absorbent cloth. After griddle is cooled, polish with soft
griddle stone or a good grade grill pad. DO NOT SCRATCH. The griddle may be washed with warm
water and a cleanser. Water will not crack this griddle plate.
Empty grease container as often as necessary.
To oil the griddle, use a hydrogenated shortening. Never use salad oils, margarine or butter, as
these shortenings cannot withstand temperatures greater than 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
HOT TOP SECTION:
DAILY: Wipe top with heavy burlap or steel wool. Rub briskly until clean. The Hot Top plate
may be washed with warm water and a cleanser. Water will not crack this Hot Top Plate.
OVEN INTERIOR:
Aluminum Steel - Top, Sides, and Back:
Porcelain Enamel - Bottom and Door Liner:
Wipe up spillovers while oven is hot. Wait until oven is cool for complete cleaning. Spray type
oven cleansers may be used. A mild abrasive nylon cleaning pad can be used for stubborn
spillovers or stains After cleaning, rinse well with 1/4 cup of vinegar to 1 quart water solution to
neutralize any caustic residue of cleaning compound. Wipe dry.
CAUTION
Do not use wire brushes, steel wool or caustic solutions such as spray type cleansers, ammonia,
lye or soda ash. Damage to the aluminum coating will result. USE ONLY CLEANERS THAT ARE
RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON ALUMINUM.
12

SERVICE
WHEN SERVICE IS NEEDED, CONTACT A LOCAL SERVICE COMPANY,
DEALER, OR FACTORY TO PERFORM MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIRS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY COMPETENT
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE DOING ANY SERVICE WORK. EACH SECTION
HAS SEPARATE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTION. TURN OFF GAS
SUPPLY WHEN SERVICING GAS CONTROL SYSTEM.
PILOT SAFETY VALVE
The Baso Pilot Safety is an automatic 100% safety pilot which
provides complete gas shut off in event of pilot failure. The safety
valve is held closed by spring pressure. When red button is
pushed by hand, gas flows to pilot. Pilot heats thermocouple
creating a very small amount of electricity. This energizes a
magnetic coil under the red button and holds the valve open,
permitting gas to flow to main burner and pilot without holding
pressure on red button. In the event of pilot failure, the flow of
electricity will stop and spring will stop flow of gas to both pilot and
oven burner.
PIEZO IGNITER
The PIEZO IGNITER creates an ignition spark at the pilot burner
when the red button is depressed until it clicks. The spark is gen-
erated at the tip of the OVEN ELECTRODE, which is positioned
inside of the pilot burner hood. The spark jumps from the OVEN
ELECTRODE to the pilot burner hood, across the pilot gas exit.
13

SERVICE
OVEN PILOT BURNER:
Pilot Service In The Event Of Pilot Failure:
1. If pilot flame burns yellow, clean pilot orifice and pilot burner to insure a steady blue flame. The
orifice can be cleaned by washing in a solvent and/or blowing out with air.
2. Flame must surround the thermocouple tip for approximately 1/2 Inch.
3. Thermocouple lead connections must be tight, clean and free of grease. The thermocouple nut
should be started and turned all the way by hand. An additional quarter turn with a small wrench
will then be sufficient.
4. Correct gas pressure is critical for maintaining proper pilot flame size.
CAUTION
OVERTIGHTENING MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE THERMOCOUPLE OR
MAGNET AND IS UNNECESSARY SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRIC CONNECTION.
DO NOT GRASP HEAD WITH TOOLS WHILE CHANGING COMPONENT.
