Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
■This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located
on the oven frame behind the left side of the broiler door has
information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types
of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check
with the local gas supplier.
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas
Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
■Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size
can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or
¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
■A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
■Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid
pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
■Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Level Range
1. Place a standard flat rack in oven.
2. Place level on the rack and check levelness of the range, first
side to side; then front to back.
3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket.
4. Use a ³⁄₈" drive ratchet and slip-joint pliers to adjust leveling
legs up or down until the range is level.
5. Push range back into position.
6. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking
performance.
Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the
“LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the
desired setting.
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot
surface igniter heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No
sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner
operates.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
1. If control panel and knobs were removed earlier, reinstall
knobs.
2. Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to “LITE”
position. The flame should light within 4 seconds.
3. Turn control knob to “HI” position after burner lights.

4. Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner
cone should have a very distinct blue flame ¼" (0.64 cm) to
½" (0.13 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the
inner cone.
5. Turn the control knob quickly to the “LO” position after the
burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the control knob to
the “OFF” position.
6. Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low
flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame
size should be ¼" to ³⁄₈" (0.64 cm to 0.95 cm) high.
If the low flame needs adjusting:
1. Turn control knob to the “Lo” setting and remove control
knob.
2. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn
the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will
not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned
from “HI” to “Lo.” Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn
left to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop
burners as needed.
3. Replace control knob.
Check Operation of Oven/Broil Burner
Electronic oven control:
1. Open broiler door.
2. Press the “BAKE” pad.
■The “BAKE” indicator will light.

3. Press the START/ENTER pad.
■The “TEMP” and “ON” indicators will appear.
■The display will show the automatic countdown time
(10 minutes) needed to preheat the oven for selected
temperature.
■The oven burner should light in 20-40 seconds; this delay
is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it
will open and allow gas to flow. The oven burner will burn
until oven temperature has reached 350°F (177°C). After
20-40 seconds, the oven burner will begin to cycle on and
off to maintain the 350°F (177°C) temperature.
Broil burner and oven burner are the same burner. Check the broil
function as follows:
1. Press the “BROIL” pad.
■“525” will appear in the display.
■The “BROIL” indicator will light.
2. Press the START/ENTER pad.
■The “TEMP” and “ON” indicators will light.
■The oven burner should light in 20-40 seconds; this delay
is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it
will open and allow gas to flow.
To avoid damaging the hot surface igniter, do not insert any
object into the openings of the shield that surrounds the
igniter or clean that area.
3. Check the oven burner for proper flame. The flame should be
½" (0.13 cm) long, with inner cone of bluish-green. The outer
mantle should be dark blue and should be clean and soft in
character. No yellow tips (not enough air), blowing or lifting
(too much air) of flame should occur.
If the flame needs adjusting:
1. Turn the oven off. Wait for the oven burner to cool down.
2. Open oven door and remove oven racks, oven tray, flame
spreader and set aside.
3. Locate the air shutter near the rear wall of oven and loosen
the shutter screw.
4. Adjust the air shutter.
5. Turn the oven back on and check for proper flame. If the
flame is still not properly adjusted, turn the oven off, wait for
the oven burner to cool down and repeat Step 4 until flame is
properly adjusted.
6. When the flame has been properly adjusted, turn the oven off,
