INSTALLATION
UNCRATING
This range was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes
full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after
unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be damaged, save the
packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Uncrate unit carefully and place in a work-accessible area as near to its final installed
position as possible. Remove all shipping wire and wood blocking.
Before installing, check the type of gas supply (natural or propane) to make sure they agree
with the specifications on the rating plate located on the inside of the lower kick panel. If the
supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation.
Contact your dealer or company immediately.
LOCATION
The appliance must be installed under a ventilation hood.
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.
The range, when installed, must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 12"
(304 mm) at the sides and 10" (253 mm) at the rear. Clearance from non-combustible construction
is 0" at the sides and 6" (152 mm) at the rear.
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
A minimum front clearance of 40" (1016 mm) is required.
The range must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be
obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be
provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for combustion of
the gas at the burners.

Each range is factory-equipped for the type gas specified on the rating plate. The installation
gas connection is a 3/4" (19 mm) 14 FPT ANSI schedule #40 standard pipe. Connect gas
supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions. Codes require that a gas
shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range. Standard ranges are equipped
with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation. Install the gas pressure
regulator.
Before installing, ensure that regulator supplied agrees with rating plate gas supply.
The gas pressure regulator is NOT factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is
sealed within a plastic bag attached to the oven rack inside the oven cavity. This
regulator must be field installed by a qualified installer.
Natural gas regulators are preset for 5" W.C. (Water Column) (.99 kPa); propane
gas regulators for 10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa)
1. Locate 3/4" (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of range.
2. Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.
3. Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body
back (Fig. 7).
4. Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 7).
The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow. The pressure regulator
must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator
is installed in any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper
operation.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape.
Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause
regulator to malfunction.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE
FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to
remove air.
Before operation, verify thermocouple is securely seated in the safety valve. The
thermocouple should be tightened a 1/4 turn past finger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Over-tightening may damage the thermocouple or safety magnet.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig(3.45kPa) or less, the range should be isolated from
the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve until the range is
ready for start-up.
FLUE CONNECTIONS DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the
rear of the range. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the
building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum
clearance of 18" (457 mm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from
the standard for the "Removal of Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No.
96 (latest edition), available from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
OPERATION
WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE RANGE.
CONTROLS
THERMOSTAT DIAL
Allows operator to regulate oven temperature from low to 500°F (260°C)
(OPTIONAL) GRIDDLE BURNER KNOB
Regulates gas flow to the griddle. To increase heat, turn knob counterclockwise, to decrease
heat, turn knob clockwise.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Griddle Seasoning ( optional models )
CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored
or dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or
gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula
by tapping the corner edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the

10
griddle is porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is
important to“season”or“fill up”these pores with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning
gives the surface a slick, hard finish from which the food will release easily.
To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil
per square foot of surface over the griddle top section. With an insulated cloth, spread the
oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with an
insulated cloth.
Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.
LIGHTING AND SHUTTING DOWN PILOTS
All adjustment procedures associated with pilot lighting must be performed by an
authorized vender installation or service person.
Manual GRIDDLE
1. Turn main gas supply ON.
2. Wait 30 seconds and, using a long lighter, light the hot top or griddle top pilot
3. If pilot fails to light, turn main gas supply OFF. Wait 5 minutes and repeat the above
procedures.
4. Turn one hot top or griddle top burner valve ON to remove air from the gas line. Turn
burner valve OFF when gas begins to flow.
Nightly Shutdown
1. Turn burner valve OFF; pilot will remain lit.
Complete Shutdown
1. Turn burner valve OFF; pilot will remain lit.
2. Turn main gas supply OFF.
Thermostat GRIDDLE
1. Turn main gas supply ON.
2. Locate Pilot lighting door on front of unit to left of red pilot lighting button.
