Extinguish any open flame
Immediately call your gas supplier
FOR YOU SAFETY
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Warnings
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not use
packaging material for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can
become air-tight chambers. Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe
cuts and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
Be safety conscious. The preparation of food in an oven requires temperatures that
could cause severe burns. Before using this new appliance, carefully read and follow all
instructions.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. In addition, businesses must warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low level
exposure to some of the listed substances, including formaldehyde, benzene, soot and
carbon monoxide. This is caused primarily from the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuel. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners by
opening a window or using a ventilating hood or fan.

Notice: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory
system. Fumes released during from cooking oil, fat, margarine or overheated non-stick
cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Be sure your appliance is properly installed by a qualified
technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this range.
Be sure leveling legs are in place at the bottom corners of the range. If necessary, raise or
lower the leveling legs at the base of the range by turning clockwise or counterclockwise
to insure a level range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service.
Have the technician familiarize you with the locations of the manual gas shut off valve
and gas meter in the event it is necessary to shut off gas supply to the unit during an
emergency.
The following situations may cause serious bodily harm, death or
property damage.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE
MUST BE SECURED BY A PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP BRACKET
PROVIDED WITH THE RANGE. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICE IS
INSTALLED AND ENGAGED PROPERLY, CAREFULLY TIP THE
RANGE FORWARD. THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE SHOULD ENGAGE AND
PREVENT THE RANGE FROM TIPPING OVER. REFER TO THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THE ANTI-TIP
BRACKET FOR PROPER ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION.
Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Never
leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on
the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach the items could
be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child
on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other
injury.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow
of combustion and ventilation air.
USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this owner’s guide. All other servicing should be

UNIQUE UGP30G

done only by a qualified technician. This will reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to the range.
Storage in or on appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven,
near surface burners or in the broiler section. This includes paper, plastic and cloth
items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do
not use the oven for storage. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the range.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or
discarded.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or broiler section of this range can
result in serious injuries and cause damage to the range.
The following situations could cause bodily injury or property
damage.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface burners and oven burners may be hot even though the flame
is not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the range, surfaces facing the range, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and windows.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface burners or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
Never modify or alter the construction of the range. Do not remove leveling
legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets or any other permanent part of the
product.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if
allowed to become too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking
soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

UNIQUE UGP30G

Operation of the Surface Burners. When the burners are operated for the first
time, a small amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or
manufacturing lubrication, this is not dangerous.Operate the burners for about
five minutes to rid the burners of this material before cooking.
Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the burner flame and
may result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing. Also, proper
relationship of cookware to burner will improve efficiency.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Refer to the
cleaning section of this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.
Placement of oven racks: Always place an oven rack in the desired location while
the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved when the oven is hot, use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact hot oven
walls. Remove all cookware from the rack before moving.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed. The oven vent is located along the bottom of
the backguard. Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven is being operated
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vents. These items could melt or ignite. The range requires fresh air for proper
burner combustion. Do not block the flow of air around the base or beneath the lower
front panel of the range.
Use care when opening oven door: Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
oven door. Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or
replacing food.
Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to the full
LITE position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware.

UNIQUE UGP30G

Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking, greasy
spillovers may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.
Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame
when you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your fingers.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat or grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite.
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them from
the range. When a surface burner is first turned off, the burner and grate are hot enough
to cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease which could catch
fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan
ventilating hoods and grease filters should be clean. Do not allow fat or grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
Do not use a “cyclonic” range hood with this product. Some range hoods circulate
air by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up into the
hood. This creates a “cyclonic” air wash that is designed for electric ranges only. A
“cyclonic” hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate improperly.
Glazed cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking, due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop
use.
Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the flame.
Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner.
Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may
not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current health standards.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

UNIQUE UGP30G

Flexible Connectors: If the gas range/oven is connected to a gas supply with a
metal flexible connector, move the range/oven with CAUTION for service or
cleaning.
Flexible connectors are not intended for repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners
to make contact with flexible connectors.
The connector and its fittings are designed for use only on the original installation
and are not to be reused for another appliance or at another location. Connectors
must comply with ANSI Z21.24.
It’s good practice for each household to have an appropriate fire extinguisher for
use in the event of a house fire.

ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS
Surface Cooking
Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You’ll waste
fewer vitamins, save time and cut energy costs.
Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans
made of metals that conduct heat well.
When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking
time.
Oven Cooking
Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold
oven; then turn on the oven.
Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes energy.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables
when the meat is half-cooked, and then warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes
are cooked.
Thaw frozen foods before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking energy than
frozen food.
Make it a habit to turn the oven off before removing the cooked food.

UNIQUE UGP30G

To reduce the risk of
tipping the appliance by
abnormal usage or
improper door loading,
the appliance must be secured by properly
installing the anti-tip device packed with the
appliance. To check if the device is installed
and engaged properly, carefully tip the range
forward. The anti-tip device should engage
and prevent the range from tipping over.
If this range is removed for any reason, (eg.
service or cleaning), it must be replaced as
outlined before placing the range back in
operation.
Levelling a Free-Standing Range
All free-standing ranges must be level to
obtain proper cooking results. The leveling
legs should be screwed into the corner
brackets. Place pan or measuring cup
partially filled with water or a level on the
oven rack. Adjust the leveling legs until the
range is level. The top of the aside panels
should be level with the counter top.

GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units)
NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS:
Be sure this document is included in all gas range appliances sold to consumers in
the State of Massachusetts.
NOTICE: Massachusetts law requires the following:
Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36” maximum length)
flexible gas connector and
A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
Have the dealer where you purchase your new range install it or have him
recommend a qualified installer. Installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2
Installation Codes in Canada.
The range should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe or a
certified flexible type range connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing
compound, which is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases, on all threaded
connections.
Important: Do not apply pressure directly to the range manifold pipe when tightening
supply connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the pressure
regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench during the
tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted and split, and
cause a dangerous leak.
The installation of ranges designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation
must conform with the Manufactured Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A. Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada or, when such standards are not applicable with local codes.
The installation of ranges designed for recreational vehicle installation must conform
to state or other codes and in the absence of such codes with the standard for
recreational vehicles ANSI A119.2.2–1982 in the U.S.A. or CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada. The installation of appliances designed for recreational park trailers must
conform to recreational park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
Note: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to
check for gas leaks using a soap solution with at recommend ratio of 75% water,
25% dish washing soap. It’s possible for connections made at the factory to leak, due
to vibration encountered in transportation. Make certain you have checked them all,
and repair any connections that leak.

UNIQUE UGP30G

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ 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 less than 1/2 psig.
Installation
It is the responsibility of the installer to make certain that the range is properly
adjusted at the time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or
improper installation are not covered under the warranty. Any expenses incurred due
to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the appliance.
Connecting gas to range
This range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4” of water column on natural gas
(NG) or 10” of water column on propane gas (LPG).
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.
This range comes equipped from the factory equipped for use with LPG
(propane). This range is convertible for use on natural gas (NG) also. (natural gas

Gas line shut-off valve
To reduce the possibility of gas
leaks, apply Teflon tape or a thread
compound approved for use with
LP or Natural gases to all threaded
connections.
Connect the supplied ½” threaded
pipe to the units regulator located on
the back left of the unit. We suggest
using a ½” female to 3/8” male flare
adaptor on the end of the ½”
threaded pipe supplied.
Use a flexible appliance connector to
connect your gas supply to the
appliance. A 3 foot length is
recommended for ease of
installation but other lengths are
acceptable. Never use an old
connector when installing a new
range.
Check for leaks using a leak detector
or soapy water with a recommended
ratio of 75% water, 25% dish
washing soap.

orifices included in the packaging). When using this on NG gas, conversion must be
made by a qualified NG installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be
between 4” and 5” of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10” and 12” of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1” more than the operating -manifold- pressure as given above. The pressure
regulator located at the back of the range manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
Regulator is only good for ½ psi (14” w.c.) so test pressure must not exceed ½” psi.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old range and leave it off
until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA certified
flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-
piped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new range. If the
hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be
moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound resistant to LP or NG gases
(depending on set up) on all male -external- pipe threads.
1. In an easily accessible location, install a service manual gas shut off valve. Be
sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
2. When all connections have been made, be sure all range controls are in the
off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks by
using a soap and water solution. If a gas leak is present, shut off gas
immediately, tighten all connections, and retest for leaks.

3. Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the
appliance shall be sealed.
After installation:
1. Check ignition of cooktop burners.
2. Check ignition of oven burner.
3. Check for gas leaks at all gas connections (using a gas detector, never a flame)

Gas Range Conversion and Adjustment Guide
To Convert and/or Adjust to Natural Gas
The range is set for use with Liquefied Petroleum (LP). The factory setting is
indicated on the serial plate. When set for LP Gas operation, the pressure regulator
will regulate the gas to 10 inches water column pressure. When set for Natural Gas
operation, the pressure regulator will regulate the pressure to 4 inches water column.
LPG to NG Conversion
Convertible Pressure Regulator
The range is shipped to operate on LPG. NG orifices and a special screwdriver for
adjusting the minimum flame are shipped with the unit in a separate envelope with
the manual. The inlet pressure of the gas supply shall be in accordance with the
nominal inlet pressure of the regulator used on the range or 1/2 psig maximum. The
range should be tested by pressurizing the regulator with an inlet pressure at least 1
inch water column above the manufacturer's specified manifold pressure shown on
the serial plate.
1. Shut off gas leading to appliance
2. Unplug any electrical connections if applicable.
