GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 15. DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED CONTAINERS OR FOOD ON SURFACE BURNERS OR IN THE OVEN. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in serious personal harm 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. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the range or in vent fans.
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 “LIGHT” 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. release 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: Depress “CLOCK” button (a tone will sound). Depress “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 BROILER PAN (if equipped): After broiling, remove the broiler pan and tray after allowing them to cool. Wash in warm, soapy water. * BROILER PAN AND TRAY MUST BE IN PLACE FOR ANY COOKING OPERATION. Slide out to remove Push up under center and roll out DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL PADS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER, SILICONE OVEN SPRAYS, COARSE PADS OR COARSE BRUSHES ON THE BROILER CARRIAGE. CLEANING TOP BURNERS Burners may be wiped off without removing from the range.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PORCELAIN BACKGUARD INSTALLATION 1. Remove range main top. (See Page 11) 2. Position backguard down over flue box onto range main sides. 3. Assemble backguard to range main sides with (2) (A) bolts and (2) (C) sheet metal screws. 4. From front of range, be sure to attach backguard to flue box with (2) (C) sheet metal screws. 5. If backguard has a clock, connect plug (D) from backguard to plug (D) from back of range. 6. Replace range main top.

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- “Latest Edition” in the U.S.A. The installation of this gas range in a manufactured (mobile) home must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 HUD (Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or with local codes.

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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO LIGHT TOP PILOTS (Standing Pilot Canadian Model Ranges Only) 1. Be sure the surface burner control knobs are in the “OFF” position. 2. Remove the grates and tray inserts (if any) and remove the cook top. See Page 11. 3. Locate the pilot ports and light each of them with a match. Replace the cook top, tray inserts (if any), and grates. NOTE: PILOT SHOULD BE 3/8” HIGH. IF THE PILOT IS TOO HIGH OR LOW, YOU CAN ADJUST IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: 1. Locate the pilot adjustment screw.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM NATURAL GAS TO L.P. (PROPANE) GAS IMPORTANT: READ PRIOR TO STARTING THE CONVERSION PROCESS: Because your range 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 LP (Propane) Gas, Method A or Method B.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM NATURAL GAS TO L.P. (PROPANE) GAS STEP 2 METHOD A or METHOD B Convert Range Top Burners: 1. Each top burner must be adjusted to the LP (Propane) setting. With a 1/2” open end wrench rotate the orifice hood counter-clockwise until it is snug on the valve. The orifice hood is the brass hood on the end of top burner valve. ORIFICE HOOD Warning: Do not overtighten orifice hood onto top burner valve. TOP BURNER Fig. 3 2. Repeat this procedure for each of the remaining top burner valves.
CONVERTING RANGE FROM NATURAL GAS TO L.P. (PROPANE) GAS 5.Once the pilot is lit, locate the pilot adjustment screw on the lower left hand side of FLAME SAFETY PROBE 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CHECK SURFACE BURNER IGNITION Simultaneously push in and turn a top burner knob to the LITE or START position. On Electric Spark Ignition Models, 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ADJUST AIR SHUTTERS, IF NECESSARY AIR SHUTTER TOP BURNERS: The air shutter adjustment for each top burner is located at the Open end of the top burner venturi tube and rests on the orifice hood of the top burner valve. Should the air shutter need adjusting, slide the air shutter to allow more or less air into the burner flame as needed.
