When installing a range under existing cabinets  
and the installation does not meet the minimum  
cabinet clearances, install a range hood above  
the cooktop to avoid burn hazards.  
Proper installation is your responsibility. A  
qualified technician must install this range. Make  
sure you have everything necessary for correct  
installation. It is the installer’s responsibility to  
comply with installation clearances specified on  
the gas information label. The gas information  
label and model/serial rating plate are located on  
the frame behind the broiler door.

Gas supply requirements  
Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"  
rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas,  
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. A  
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in  
insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas  
suppliers determine the size and materials used  
in the system.  
WARNING  
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas  
Explosion Hazard  
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped  
with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should  
be located in the same room as the range and  
should be in a location that allows ease of  
opening and closing. The valve is for turning on  
or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block  
access to shutoff valve.  
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:  
must be used on pipe threads only.  
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas  
supply line.  
Install a shut-off valve.  
Securely tighten all gas connections.  
Flexible metal appliance connector: If local codes  
permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 1/2"  
or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is  
recommended for connecting range to the gas  
supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is  
needed for connection to pressure regulator  
connection fitting. Do Not kink or damage the  
flexible metal tubing when moving the range.  
If connected to LP, have a qualified person  
make sure gas pressure does not exceed  
14" water column. Examples of a qualified  
person include licensed heating personnel,  
authorized gas company personnel, and  
authorized service personnel.  
NATURAL GAS:  
Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP  
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP  
Failure to do so can result in death,  
explosion, or fire.  
L.P. GAS:  
Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP  
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP  
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.  
This installation must conform with all local  
codes and ordinances. In the absence of local  
codes, installation must conform with American  
National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI  
Z223.1 — latest edition*.  
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure  
about the inlet pressure.  
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge  
(14" WCP) — The range and its individual  
manual shutoff valve must be disconnected  
from the gas supply piping system during any  
pressure testing of that system at test pressures  
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).  
Rigid pipe connection: Requires a  
combination of pipe fittings to obtain  
an in-line connection to the range. All  
strains must be removed from the  
supply and fuel lines so range will be  
level and in line.  
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating  
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For  
assistance when installing the range at higher  
elevations, contact your local service company.  
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge  
Type of gas: This range is design-certified by  
CSA International for use with Natural gas or,  
after proper conversion, for use with L. P. gas.  
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas.  
Gas conversion instructions are provided on  
pages 7-8. The model/serial rating plate located  
on the frame behind the broiler drawer has  
information on the type of gas that can be used.  
If the type of gas listed does not agree with the  
type of gas available, check with the local gas  
supplier. Conversion must be done by a  
qualified service technician.  
(14" WCP) or lower — The range must be  
isolated from the gas supply piping system by  
closing its individual manual shutoff valve  
during any pressure testing of that system at test  
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

first side to side; then front to back.  
If range is not level, pull range forward until  
rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip  
bracket. Use 3/8" drive ratchet and channel  
lock pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down  
until range is level. Push range back into  
position. Check that rear leveling leg is  
engaged in anti-tip bracket.

7.If installing the range in a mobile  
home, you MUST secure the range to the floor.  
Any method of securing the range is adequate as  
long as it conforms to the “Manufactured Home  
Construction and Safety Standard,” Page 2.  
5.Remove cardboard shipping base from  
under range. Open broiler door. Use a 3/8”

Push in and turn the oven control knob to  
“350˚F.” The oven pilot should now be larger  
with the flame burning against a small metal  
bulb. 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.  
Check each cooktop burner for proper flame.  
The small inner cone should have a very  
distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long.  
The outer cone is not as distinct as  
the inner cone. If the flame is noisy  
or blowing, it is getting too much  
air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is  
not getting enough air. Turn each  
surface burner control knob to  
“OFF” position. Adjust air shutter if  
needed.  
The oven burner will burn until oven  
temperature has reached 350°F. At that  
temperature, the oven pilot should get smaller.  
After 20-40 seconds, the oven burner will begin  
to cycle on and off to maintain the 350°F  
temperature.  
If pilot light does not stay lit, adjust pilot  
adjustment screw (see Step 15, Page 5).  
If surface burners need adjusting:  
Note: The manifold panel must be removed to  
access the air shutters.  
20.Check the oven burner  
for proper flame. The flame should be  
1/2" long, with inner cone of bluish-  
green, and outer mantle of dark blue,  
and should be clean and soft in  
character. No yellow tips, blowing or lifting of  
flame should occur.
