This product must be installed by a licensedplumber or gas fitter.!! When using ball type gas shut-off valves, theyshall be the T-handle type.II! A flexible gas connector, when used, must notexceed 3 feet.IAWARNINGIFIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDIf the information in this manual is not followedexactly, a fire or explosion may result causingproperty damage, personal injury or death.Installation must be performed by a qualifiedinstaller.Read these instructions completely and carefully.Installation of this range must conform withlocal codes, or in the absence of local codes,with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54, latest edition. In Canada, installationmust conform with the current Natural GasInstallation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the currentPropane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, andwith local codes where applicable. This rangehas been design-certified by CSA Internationalaccording to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition andCanadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-I.1 latest edition.When installing a gas appliance the use of oldflexible connectors can cause gas leaks andpersonal injury. Always use a NEW flexibleconnector.Leak testing of the appliance shall be conductedaccording to the manufacturer instructions.The range must be electrically grounded inaccordance with local codes or, in the absenceof local codes, in accordance with the NationalElectrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).In Canada, electrical grounding must be inaccordance with the current CSAC22.1 CanadianElectrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. SeeElectrical Connections in this section.Do not install this product with an air curtainhood or other range hood that operates byblowing air down on the cooktop. This airflowmay interfere with operation of the gas burnersresulting in fire or explosion hazard.FOR YOUR SAFETY:Tip-Over Hazard• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.• Install the anti-tip bracket tothe wall or floor.• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding therange back such that the foot is engaged.• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burnsto children or adults.If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with yourpurchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at nocost.

Do not installthe range over carpeting unless a sheet of i//4"thick plywood or similar insulator is placedbetween the range and carpeting.Mobile Home - Additional InstallationRequirementsThe installation of this range must conform tothe Manufactured Home Construction and SafetyStandard, Tide 24 CFR,Part 3280 (formerly theFederal Standard for Mobile Home Constructionand Saftey, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When suchstandard is not applicable, use the Standard forManufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or with local codes.In Canada, the installation of this range mustconform with the current standards CAN/CSA-A240-1atest edition, or with local codes.When this range is installed in a mobile home, itmust be secured to the floor during transit. Anymethod of securing the range is adequate aslong as it conforms to the standards listed above.DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCESProvide adequate clearances between therange and adjacent combustible surfaces. Thesedimensions must be met for safe use of yourrange.Allow 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance betweenburners and bottom of unprotected wood ormetal cabinet, or allow a 2/4" (61 cm) minimumwhen bottom of wood or metal cabinet isprotected by no less than 1//4" (6./4ram) thickflame-retardant millboard covered with no lessthan No. 28 Iv]SGsheet metal (.015" [.38 mm]thick), .015" (.38 mm) thick stainless steel, .025"(0.6/4mm) aluminum or .020" (0.5 mm) copper.Installation of a listed microwave oven orcooking appliance over the cooktop shallconform to the installation instructions packedwith that appliance.For island installation, maintain 2-1/2" minimumfrom cutout to back edge of countertop and3" minimum from cutout to side edges ofcountertop.31S 1/4"_26 7/8"w/o handle/8" \ z\handle _ _ SO"18"Minimum tocabinets oneither sideof the rangeII 30"1-_- 6"Hinimurclearan(rightwa6"Ninimum-}_ -clearanceto leftwallTo cabinets Ibelow cooktopland attherange back30"MinimummHaximum7depthfor Jcabinetsabovecountertops L_!1 Front edge! of the rangeIlsidepanelI forwardfromI cabinet1/a" -- _-- -_II0"To cabinetsbelowcooktopandat therangebackDIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES (CONT.)GAS PIPE AND ELECTRICAL OUTLET LOCATIONSRecommended area for12BY outlet on rear wall andarea for through-the-wallconnection of pipe stub andshut-off valve.

Overtightening may crackthe pressure regulator resulting in fire orexplosion hazard.Gas Pressure RegulatorYou must use the gas pressure regulator suppliedwith this range. For proper operations the inletpressure to the regulator should be as follows:Natural Gas:Minimum pressure: 6" of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 15" of Water ColumnLP Gas:Minimum pressure: ii" of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: lY' of Water ColumnIf you are not sure about the inlet pressurecontact local gas supplier.Shut off the main gas supply valve beforedisconnecting the old range and leave it offuntil the new hook-up has been completed.Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gasappliances when you turn the gas back on.Because hard piping restricts movement ofthe range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector isrecommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.If the hard piping method is used, you mustcarefully align the pipe; the range cannot bemoved after the connection is made.To prevent gas leaks, put pipejoint compound on,or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, allmale (external) pipe threads.A. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas linein an easily accessed location outside of therange. Make sure everyone operating therange knows where and how to shut off thegas supply to the range.B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use abackup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoiddamage.C. Install male 1/2" or 3//4" flare union adapter tothe NPT internal thread of the manual shut-offvalve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valveto keep it from turning.D. Connect flexible metal appliance connectorto the adapter on the range. Position range topermit connection at the shut-off valve.E. When all connections have been made, makesure all range controls are in the off positionand turn on the main gas supply valve.Use a liquid leak detector at alljoints andconnections to check for leaks in the system.When using pressures greater than 1/2 psigto pressure test the gas supply system of theresidence, disconnect the range and individualshut-off valve from the gas supply piping. Whenusing pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressuretest the gas supply system, simply isolate therange from the gas supply system by closing theindividual shut-off valve.When checking for proper operation of theregulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1"greater than the operating (manifold) pressure asgiven on rating label of product.*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPontCONNECTOR HOOKUPs Flow into Range ]Pressure __regulator S s2 I!!"_/%_ J/2/_V_. _ , ]ii Flex(_Z_._ Aaapter l _l.,_l connector_// L_I (6 ft. max.)0_ AdapterFlexible _ Gas_,, _ ',_llb_--shut-offOption 1/2" or _J_"___] ,_uJGaspipe LJJ _ valves Flow into Range IEIb°w"_l]_i_- E_bow_11-.- NipplelO_!_"-.

Position the range in front of the cabinet opening. Measure from the floor tothe top of the countertop at the rear of the cabinet near the anti-tip bracket. Ifnecessary, adjust the unit by carefully screwing in or out the leveling legs untilthe cooktop overhang matches the countertop height at the rear (There will notbe access to the rear leveling legs once installed).B. Push while lifting the range into the opening until the range is within 2" (5.1 cm) ofengaging the anti-tip bracket.C. Plug the range cord into the receptacle. Locate theflexible gas line in back of the range in a mannerthat it will not touch or be moved by the drawer (ifprovided). Carefully push the range into the openinguntil the unit is fully seated in to the cabinet. Therewill be approximately a ¼" gap between the unit andback wall.D. Carefully screw in the front two leveling legs until thecooktop overhand touches the countertop.E. Look under the unit and verify that the rear leg isfully engaged with the anti-tip device. If not, removethe unit and adjust the height of the rear leg so that itis properly engaged.Positiongas line sothat there is nointerferencewith the storagedrawer/S////I///(/,I///ll///,I///ll!/////(I/U//!/r//I/Side ViewRear_1, _:p!.....//////_/I,WHEN ALL HOOKUPS ARECOMPLETEDMake sure all controls are left in the off position.Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilationair to the range is unobstructed.Check that all packing materials and tape havebeen removed.
