INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE WARNING Tip Over Hazard • A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. • Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation instructions. • Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the slot of the anti-tip bracket. • Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if range is moved. • Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
2. Place the bracket so that the back of the bracket is against the rear wall and the side edge of the bracket is 3/8" to 1/2" from the adjacent cabinet. NOTE: If there is no adjacent cabinet, place the bracket so that the edge of the bracket is 3/8" to 1/2" in from the range side panel. If the countertop overhangs the cabinet, offset the bracket from the cabinet by the depth of the overhang plus an additional 3/8" to 1/2". 3.
5. Install the anti-tip bracket. Wood • Using the two screws (provided) fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor or wall. NOTE: The screw must enter wood or metal.

CONVERT TO LP GAS (OPTIONAL) This range is shipped from the factory set up to use natural gas. It can be converted to use LP gas by a qualified service technician. The LP conversion kit is sold separately. The conversion to LP requires all surface burner orifices and, if applicable, gas oven orifices to be changed. In addition, the nozzle on the gas pressure regulator needs to be reversed. See "GAS CONVERSION" section for detailed instructions.
3. Remove, if any, packaging tapes securing the burners on the surface. If the cooktop burner bases and caps are not pre-installed, remove them from package containing parts, align and place the burner bases and caps accordingly. C C A. Triple Ring (X-Large) B. Auxiliary (Small) A B C. Semi Rapid (Medium) Note: Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light.
ADJUST FLAME HEIGHT Check and adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop "low" burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1/4" (6 mm) high. Propane gas flames have a slightly yellow tip. Low lame ig lame If burners do not light properly: 1. Turn burner control knob to the "OFF" position. 2. Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown. 3. Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open" position. 4.
NOTE: For burners (on some models) with safety valve, make sure that the regulation obtained is sufficient to maintain heating of the thermocouple. If it is not, increase the minimum flame. ABNORMAL OPERATION ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ANBORMAL OPERATION AND MAY REQUIRE SERVICING: • Yellow burner flames. • Sooting up of cooking utensils. • Burners not igniting properly. • Burners failing to remain lit. • Burners extinguished by oven door. • Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.
VERIFY ANTI-TIP BRACKET ENGAGEMENT 1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom of the front panel to keep the range from moving, and then grasp the back of the range, as shown. 2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward. • If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Range installation is completed. • If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the floor.
GAS CONVERSION WARNING Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line and install a shutoff valve for new installations. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure listed in the "Gas Supply Requirement" section.
