U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Notice: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released from cooking oil, fat, margarine or overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds. PROPER INSTALLATION: Be sure a qualified technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 properly installs your appliance. Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this range.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this owner’s guide. Only a qualified technician should do all other servicing. This will reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range. Storage in or on appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the broiler section.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Operation of the Surface Burners. When the burners are operated for the first time, a small amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or manufacturing lubrication, this is not dangerous. Operate the burners for about five minutes to rid the burners of this material before cooking. Use only dry potholders.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Flexible Connectors: If the gas range/oven is connected to a gas supply with a metal flexible connector, move the range/oven with CAUTION for service or cleaning. Flexible connectors are not intended for repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners to make contact with flexible connectors.

U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Orifice Location Burner Orifice 10. Remove all LPG orifices: place in the bag and store in a safe place. 11. Take the NG orifices provided and install them as shown below See below for rating of orifice for each model NG Smallest Medium x 2 Largest Oven 0.8 mm 1.35 mm 1.50 mm 1.9 mm 12. Once all the orifices are installed, replace all burners and burner caps, then fire up the burners to check the minimum flame height. 13. Minimum flame height should be approx. ¼” tall.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G 18. Locate the burner tube and locate the retaining screw at the front of the tube. Once this screw has been removed, lift up the burner and pull away slightly to the right to expose the oven orifice. 19. With a 7mm wrench or pliers remove the orifice and replace with NG orifice. Oven Orifice Orifice Wrench 20. Replace the burner tube, then start up the oven to check oven flame, making sure it’s tight and blue.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Checking for Manifold Gas Pressure To check the manifold gas pressure, remove the burner cap and connect a manometer (water gauge) or other pressure test device to the burner orifice. Use a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately ¼” hold the end of the tube tight over the orifice. Turn the gas valve on. For a more accurate pressure check, have at least two (2) other top burners burning.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Adjusting the Top Burner and Oven Flame Top Burner Valves The top burners have orifices that are dedicated to the type of fuel to be used. These orifices are not adjustable. They must be changed completely to convert from one gas to the other. DO NOT DISCARD THE UNUSED ORIFICES. They should be saved in order to convert the range back to its original fuel. When converting the gas valves, the minimum flame adjustment screw must be adjusted.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Top Burner Height Oven Valve The oven control has a flame safety device built into the body of the thermostat. Presence of a gas ignition source (pilot) is verified by a flame safety probe. This flame safety probe actuates the internal safety device to allow gas into the oven burner when the oven is turned on. If there is a loss of gas ignition during operation, the flame safety device will close off gas flow to the oven burner and pilot.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G OPERATION OF RANGE Off High Flame/Ignition Off Burner Position Oven Push to Ignite PUSH Lighting the Top Burners 1. To obtain a flame more easily, light the burner before placing a cooking utensil on the burner grate. 2. Decide which burner you’re igniting first using the screened diagram below the burner knob. The black dot indicates the position of the burner you’re igniting. 3.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Lighting the Oven 1. Depending on how long the gas line run is, it may take a while to light the oven pilot. It is suggested that you light a top burner first to ensure the gas is at the valve. 2. Push in on oven knob and turn to the ignition position, you will hear the electronic ignition. Hold until the oven pilot lights. Once lit, count to 10 then release. It should now stay lit; if not, repeat. You can view the pilot by opening the broiler door and look towards the back. 3.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Hot Oven Restart If you turn off the oven but then decide to turn it back on before it has cooled to room temperature, the burner may not light properly. This is due to the thermostat still sensing “heated oven” and not allowing the maximum gas flow rate into the burner. After the burner lights, you may adjust the oven control to the desired temperature.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Alignments and Adjustments Oven Burner Air Shutter Adjustment The oven burner flame should be a clean, blue flame with distinct inner cones. A soft, lazy flame with indistinct cones means too much gas or not enough air. A noisy lifting flame indicates too much air. If adjustments are necessary, you must first loosen the lock screw located at the top of the air shutter at the back of the burner tube, then rotate the air shutter to the correct setting, and retighten screw.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Temperature Selection It is important to select to proper temperature setting. Imagine that the control has three sections: Warm, Bake, and Broil. Warming The broiler section of your range can function as a warming drawer to keep foods at serving temperature (175°F to 225°F). Place food on the broiler pan in the low position and set the oven control to the lowest setting. Baking Follow the recipe instructions when baking.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Removable Oven Bottom First remove the racks from the oven. The oven bottom lifts from the rear. Grasp each side of the oven bottom and lift upward from the rear until the bottom is clear, lift it to remove from the front. NOTE: If the oven bottom is replaced incorrectly, it may warp and cause undesirable baking results. The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G BROILING Preheat the broiler area and broil pan for a few minutes. No definite time can be given for broiling meats because of varying thickness, amounts of fat, and personal taste. Be careful when handling hot broiler pans; be careful of the hot grease. Serious injury can result due to spillage of hot grease. Never leave a dirty broil pan in place, always clean it and return it to the broiler assembly. Unauthorized broil pan substitutes should never be used.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G CLEANING THE RANGE Always keep cleaning materials and chemicals in a safe place and away from children. Know what you are using. Make sure all parts of the range are COOL before cleaning. Be sure to replace the parts correctly. Knobs Pull forward on the knobs to remove them. Wash in a water solution with a mild detergent mix. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or any abrasive action. Abrasive action will scratch the knobs.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G THE LIFE OF THE TOP in comparison to the general life expectancy of the range itself. It is very important that the burner be dry before replacing it in the range. A wet burner will not allow the gas to ignite properly. This could result in a build-up of gas which could result in an explosion or fire. Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler Aluminium foil when used improperly is a cause of many range fires. Make certain that vents or air openings aren’t covered by the foil.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G Repair Parts When repair parts are needed, contact the dealer from whom the range was purchased. In case your range was purchased from a source other than an appliance dealer, you may prefer to contact the manufacturer at the address shown in this manual. Moisture During the initial heat-up of your range, the heat mixing with the cooler air in the oven cavity may produce fogging of the door glass or a collection of water on the door.
U N I Q U E U G P 3 0 G DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL THIS STEP IS COMPLETE. THE HINGE OR DOOR COULD BE DAMAGED. HOW TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT Gaining access to the battery compartment: 1. Locate the kick plate at the front/bottom of the range 2.
