Provisions shall be incorporated in the design of the kitchen, to ensure adequate supply of fresh air and
adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber, for proper combustion, and ventilation. For
proper operation of the appliance, do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, to the national fuel gas code,
ANSI Z223.1 (or latest addenda). The Appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system in excess of ½ PSI (3.45Kpa).
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 ½ PSI
(3.45Kpa).
The gas supply line must be at least the same size as the gas inlet of the appliance.
FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS, CONNECTORS AND CASTERS
For an appliance equipped with casters the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances,
CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick
–disconnect device that complies with the standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI
Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CANI-6.9. Adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or
its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
Restraining devices may be attached to the back frame/panel of the unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Before lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION.
Putting an open flame beside a new gas connection is extremely dangerous.
LIGHTING Initial pilot lighting:
CAUTION: When lighting pilots and checking for leaks, do not Stand with your face close to the combustion
chamber.
All Sierra appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory, effectively matching them to sea level
conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure proper operation may be necessary on installation to meet
local conditions; low gas characteristics, to correct possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration
during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. These adjustments are the
responsibility of the customer and/or dealer and are not covered by our warranty. Before lighting any pilots,
make sure that burner valves and thermostats are turned “off”.

5 to 11
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Never use ammonia in an oven that is warmer than room temperature and always have direct
ventilation!
If the appliance is on casters and is connected to the supply piping by means of a connector for movable
appliances, there is a restraining device at the rear of the unit. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary,
reconnect the restraint after the appliance has been returned to its originally installed position.
CLEANING
DAILY: Clean top grate(s) with warm water, mild cleaner and wire brush. Clean and brush off debris from and
around the burner area. Empty and clean grease pan. Griddle plates should be cleaned with warm water and
scrubbed with cleaning abrasive such as a griddle brick of fine grit type. Top surface can also be ‘bleached’
with vinegar, pickle juice or club soda when the plate is warm to give the plate a ‘new’ look.
Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water and replace after the rest of the oven is cleaned. Remove
the oven bottom by lifting it out from the front then sliding forward, out of the oven. Scrape off any food
particles with a nylon griddle scraper. Be very careful about scratching the porcelain finish on the oven liner
panels. Wash all the above with hot soapy water, then reassemble. Baked on spills may be loosened and
stubborn stains removed with ordinary household ammonia and scrubbing with a nylon pad in a cold oven
only. Do not allow spray type oven cleaners to come into contact with the temperature probe in the oven.
After cleaning the oven, rinse well with 1/4 cup of vinegar to one quart of clear water solution to neutralize
any caustic residue of the cleaning compound. Wipe dry. To increase the life of the motor, follow these
instructions: Never run oven with motor off. After you finish cooking and the oven is not to be use for more
than ½ hour. Place the switch to the “COOL” position and open the door. When oven temperature is equal to
room temperature turn unit off.
PERIODIC: Remove open burners and clean with warm water and wire brush. Make sure the ports are not
clogged. Check valves and lubricate, if necessary. Consult your service agency or local Gas Company.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
Do not use steel wool, abrasive clothes, cleansers or powders to clean stainless steel surfaces. All stainless
steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and a stainless steel liquid cleaner at
the end of the day. To remove encrusted materials, soak in hot water to loosen the material, and then use a
wood or nylon scraper.
Contact the factory, factory representative or a local service company to perform maintenance and repairs
