Gas Supply Requirements  
Flexible metal appliance connector:  
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4-5 ft  
(122-152.4 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.  
WARNING  
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.  
Explosion Hazard  
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.  
Install a shut-off valve.  
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when  
moving the range.  
Securely tighten all gas connections.  
Rigid pipe connection:  
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure  
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water  
column.  
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.  
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.  
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.  
Must include a shutoff valve:  
IMPORTANT: 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.  
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.  
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted  
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Type of Gas  
Natural gas:  
B
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with  
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.  
A
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.

A. Gas supply line  
B. Shutoff valve “open” position  
C. To range  
LP gas conversion:  
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.  
Gas Pressure Regulator  
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.  
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:  
Gas Supply Line  
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP  
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP  
LP gas:  
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP  
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP  
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.  
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet  
pressure.  
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas  
must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)  
Burner Input Requirements  
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected  
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of  
that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for  
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).  
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower  
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a  
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level.  
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by  
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure  
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to  
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
Gas Supply Pressure Testing  
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"  
water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on  
the model/serial rating plate.

Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed  
and engaged.  
6. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.  
7. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs. Adjust  
the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can be  
loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A minimum  
of ³⁄₁₆" (0.5 cm) is needed to engage the anti-tip bracket.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death  
or serious burns to children and adults.  
NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing,  
tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to  
adjust the rear legs.  
1. Remove the anti-tip bracket from where it is attached inside  
the oven with a wire tie.  
2. Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.  
8. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or  
more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or  
hardboard.  
If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall  
mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile  
home, you must secure the range to the floor.

you replace the battery with a new 9V DC alkaline battery.  
NOTE: If any knob is turned to the LITE position and there is no

battery power is very low or completely discharged, or there is no  
battery connected to the battery case. In this event, replace the  
battery or install a new 9V DC alkaline battery.  
IMPORTANT: If the range will be unused for a long time, it is  
recommended that the battery is removed and stored out of reach  
of children. Reinstall the battery when the range will be used again.  
NOTE: Remove the battery before moving the range. Reinstall  
the battery after the range has been reconnected.

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 knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the  
system creates a spark to light the pilot. The oven bottom has a  
hole to view the pilot. If the pilot is already lit, turn the oven control  
knob counterclockwise to completely light the oven burner.  
IMPORTANT: Do not operate bake burner without the metal  
battery top installed and secured.  
7. Replace the broiler pan and grill in the broiler rack.  
8. Close the broiler door.  
The electronic ignition system requires a 9V DC alkaline battery  
to create a spark to light the burners (this battery is not included).

The oven burner should light in 20-40 seconds; this delay  
is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it

3. Turn control knob to the “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.  
To avoid damaging the oven igniter system, do not insert any  
object into the electrode system. Do not 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.
