IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing property damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip device.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 15. DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED CONTAINERS OR FOOD ON SURFACE BURNERS OR IN THE OVEN. Buildup of pr essur e may cause the container to bur st and r esult in ser ious per sonal har m and/or damage to the range. 16. ALUMINUM FOIL WHEN USED IMPROPERLY IS A CAUSE OF MANY RANGE PROBLEMS. See the oven and broiler sections of this book for instructions for proper use. 17. GREASE IS FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY.
SURFACE COOKING BURNER LIGHTING SOURCE The burners on your range need an electrical source to ignite the burners. The electricity required to light the burners may come from an electrical outlet or from a battery power pack. Ranges without a power cord have a battery power pack located in the lower right corner of the range. In either case your new range is equipped with automatic ignition top burners. Each burner can be controlled to provide heat from the highest “full on” to the very low “keep warm”.
USING YOUR OVEN To use your oven, push and rotate the oven control counterclockwise to the “PILOT” PILOT or “LITE” position. Once in the “PILOT” or “LITE” position, push in on the knob as far as possible and hold for 10 sec. After holding the control knob in for 10 sec. re lease the oven knob. The pilot flame will remain lit. Open the oven door. When you push in and rotate the oven control knob to the desired position (temp.

OPERATING YOUR RANGE DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LIGHTING BURNERS THIS WAY LIGHTING TOP BURNERS TOP BURNER 1. Hold a lighted match to the desired burner head. 2. Push and turn the control knob to the “LITE” or “START” position. 3. After burner lights, adjust flame to desired size as required. LIGHTING OVEN BURNER Before attempting to light the oven burner, it is important to determine whether the oven in your range will operate during an electrical outage.
CLOCK AND TIMER (Optional on Some Models) ELECTRONIC CLOCK AND TIMER TO SET TIME OF DAY: Depr ess “CLOCK” button (a tone will sound). Depr ess “UP” button to set the time up, or depress “DOWN” button to set the time down. Tapping the “UP” OR “DOWN” button will increase or decrease the time by 1 minute. Holding in the “UP” or “DOWN” button will increase or decrease the time in 10 minute intervals.

CARE AND CLEANING CLEANING OVEN BOTTOM Clean using warm, sudsy water, a mild abrasive cleaner, or a soap filled abrasive pad or commercial oven cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions. The oven bottom on the 24”, 30”, and 36” models can be removed for cleaning by sliding the oven bottom towards the rear wall, lifting the front end up to clear the front frame, and gently pulling the oven bottom out and up.
CARE AND CLEANING REMOVING MAIN TOP It is not common to remove the sealed burner main top unless service is required. To remove top: 1. Pull range away from the wall and disconnect the range electrical supply and shut off range gas supply. 2. From back of range, some models require removing (2) screws 1 per side from flue box. See Fig. 1. 3. Remove top burner grates. 4. Remove the burner caps from each top burner. 5. Lift burner base off range main top.
CARE AND CLEANING CLEANING TOP BURNER GRATES Wash burner grates in warm soapy water. Dry the grates with a cloth. When replacing the grates, be sure they are properly positioned over the burners. NOTE: Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. CLEANING TOP BURNERS CAP (Dishwasher Safe) The burner ports of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and flame.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PORCELAIN BACKGUARD 1. Position backguard down over flue box onto range main sides. It will be necessary to pull back on the flue box to allow the backguard pins to clear the range main top. Push backguard pins into matching holes in range main top. 2. Assemble backguard to range main sides with (2) (A) bolts and (2) (B) nuts each side. 3. From back of range, drive (2) (C) screws through the top edge of the flue box into the range main top. 4.

VENT HOODS IMPORTANT: THIS RANGE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN CONJUCTION WITH A VENTILATION SYSTEM WITH PROVISIONS TO DIRECT AIR IN A DOWNWARD DIRECTION, TOWARD THE RANGE. THIS TYPE OF VENTILATION SYSTEM MAY CAUSE IGNITION AND COMBUSTION PROBLEMS WITH YOUR GAS COOKING APPLIANCE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR UNINTENDED OPERATIONS.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION WARNING The anti-tip bracket is installed to prevent the range from tipping forward as the result of excessive downward pressure on the open end of the oven door. All ranges are required to have an approved anti-tip bracket installed. The anti-tip bracket is packed in the oven section of the range. If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with you purchase, call 1-800-858-5844. A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
CONNECTING THE RANGE TO GAS The installation of this gas range must conform with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 “Latest Edition” in the U.S.A. or in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS TESTING RANGE FOR GAS LEAKS Before turning on the gas, be sure that all range valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn on the gas and check each joint or connection with a soap and water solution, including the inlet and outlet sides of the regulator. Never test for leaks with a lighted match or open flame.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS POWERING CORDLESS RANGES (SOME MODELS) It is not necessary to connect your range to a plug-in outlet in your home. The burner ignition comes from a DC source (battery power pack). INSTALLING THE DC POWER PACK (8) AA Alkaline Batteries Before any of the burners can be lighted, it is necessary to locate the power pack that is located in the range oven section. The power pack requires (8) AA size batteries. It is recommended that a good quality Alkaline Battery be used.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM NATURAL GAS TO PROPANE GAS IMPORTANT: READ PRIOR TO STARTING THE CONVERSION PROCESS: Because your r ange may be fitted with one of three different types of oven systems, it is necessary to determine which system the range employs in order to be successful making the range conversion. These instructions provide two different methods for converting the range from Natural Gas to Propane Gas, Method A or Method B.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM NATURAL GAS TO PROPANE GAS STEP 2 METHOD A or METHOD B Conver t top bur ner s: To convert burners from Natural Gas to Propane Gas the burner orifices must be replaced with a set of orifices packed separately with the unit. A. Remove the burner caps and burner bases. This requires no tools. B. Remove the Natural Gas orifice by reaching down into the center of the burner with a 7mm nut driver. C.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM NATURAL GAS TO PROPANE GAS FLAME SAFETY PROBE 5.Once the pilot is lit, locate the pilot adjustment screw on the lower left hand side of the oven thermostat control. See Fig. 5 Access the pilot adjustment screw through the opening behind the oven temperature control knob. With a straight blade screwdriver rotate the screw till the outer tip of the flame is just barely reaching the underside of the end of the flame safety probe. See Fig. 6. OVEN PILOT Fig.

The oven thermostat control is at the center front of the range located behind the oven control knob and control panel. Locate the brass gas conversion screw on the right side of the oven thermostat as shown in Fig. 4 This screw can be accessed through a hole in the control panel. 1. Turn the conversion screw counter-clockwise 360 degrees, one full turn. 2.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM PROPANE GAS TO NATURAL GAS STEP 4 METHOD A or B Conver t Oven Burner: The oven burner orifice is located beneath the inlet to the oven burner at the lower rear portion of the broiler section. ( See Fig. 7) Using a 1/2” wrench turn the orifice hood clockwise until it is snug. Warning: Do not over-tighten the orifice hood. PIN ORIFICE HOOD NATURAL GAS LP GAS Fig.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CHECK SURFACE BURNER IGNITION Simultaneously push in and turn a top burner knob to the LITE or START position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating the proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, the burner will light. Rotate the knob out of the LITE or START position after the burner lights. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.
