READ ALL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. IF YOU SMELL GAS • Open windows • Don’t touch electrical switches • Extinguish any open flame • Immediately call your gas supplier FOR YOUR SAFETY • Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. WARNINGS Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not use packaging material for play.
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. Be sure leveling legs are in place at the bottom corners of the range. If necessary, raise or lower the leveling legs at the base of the range by turning clockwise or counter clockwise to insure a level range.
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. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable liquids.
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.
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. Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking, greasy spill-overs may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.
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. The connector and its fittings are designed for use only on the original installation and are not to be reused for another appliance or at another location. Connectors must comply with ANSI Z21.24.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING Carbon Monoxide is a possible danger when using any gas powered appliance. All gas appliances MUST be installed by a licensed professional who is familiar with the Carbon Monoxide levels appropriate for each appliance. The American Gas Association publishes CO emissions for appliances and heating equipment through the ANSI Std. Z21.1 The EPA reports that a maximum CO (Carbon Monoxide) level of 9 PPM over a 24 hour period is the residential interior ambient level standard.
ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS Surface Cooking Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You’ll waste fewer vitamins, save time and cut energy costs. Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans made of metals that conduct heat well. When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking time.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Be sure appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. It is the responsibility of the technician to make certain that your range is properly installed. Situations caused by improper installation are not covered under the warranty. Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the appliance. WARNING A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Install the anti-tip device to the structure and/or the range.
HOW TO INSTALL THE BACKSPLASH 1. Align the backsplash to the rear part of the cooktop as shown in the diagram. 2. Secure the backsplash to the cooktop from the back using the 2 Phillips head screws provided as shown in the diagram.
GAS CONNECTIONS NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS: Be sure this document is included in all gas range appliances sold to consumers in the State of Massachusetts. NOTICE: Massachusetts law requires the following: • Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. • Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36” maximum length) flexible gas connector and • A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
GAS CONNECTIONS (continued) The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
GAS CONNECTIONS (continued) For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be between 4” and 5” of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10” and 12” of water column. When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” more than the operating -manifold- pressure as given above.
WALL CLEARANCES All units must be installed in accordance to minimum rear and side wall clearance and clearances extended vertically above cooking top which are stated on the serial plate located at the back of the range. ANY OPENINGS IN THE WALL BEHIND THE UNIT AND IN THE FLOOR UNDER THE UNIT MUST BE SEALED. Note. Due to potential hazards it is recommended that storage cabinets NOT be installed above the cooking surface.
WALL CLEARANCES (continued) Anti-Tip Bracket Location 20
GAS RANGE CONVERSION To Convert and/or Adjust to Natural Gas The range is set for use with Liquefied Petroleum (LP). The factory setting is indicated on the serial plate. When set for LP Gas operation, the pressure regulator will regulate the gas to 10 inches water column pressure. When set for Natural Gas operation, the pressure regulator will regulate the pressure to 4 inches water column. Liquid Propane Gas Conversion to Natural Gas The conversion kit must be installed by qualified service agency.
GAS RANGE CONVERSION (continued) Convertible Pressure Regulator The range is shipped to operate on LPG. NG orifices and a special screwdriver for adjusting the minimum flame are shipped with the unit in a separate envelope with the manual. The inlet pressure of the gas supply shall be in accordance with the nominal inlet pressure of the regulator used on the range or 1/2 psig maximum.
GAS RANGE CONVERSION (continued) 10. Take the NG orifices provided and install them as shown below See below for rating of orifice for each model Natural Gas Orifices BTU 13,000 10,000 3,200 10,000 BURNER Triple Burner Semi-Rapid Burner Simmer Burner Rapid Burner Oven Burner POSITION Front Right Rear Left Rear Right Front Left ORIFICE 0.68 1.50 0.90 1.50 1.28 x2 13,000 1.
GAS RANGE CONVERSION (continued) 18. With a 7 mm wrench or pliers remove the orifice and replace with NG orifice. OVEN ORIFICE ORIFICE WRENCH 19. Replace the burner tube, then start up the oven to check oven flame, making sure the back of the burner tube to achieve this. Once you have the bottom pan and oven door closed, and with the broiler drawer pulled down, you will be able to see how the flame should look by viewing the flame through the broiler door area.
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. Be sure that the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above the specified manifold pressure.
ADJUSTING THE TOP BURNER AND OVEN FLAME WARNING Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of air that is necessary for combustion and ventilation. 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.
ADJUSTING THE TOP BURNER AND OVEN FLAME (continued) Top Burner Height INCORRECT AND GOOD FLAME PATTERNS QUALITY OF FLAMES The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be confirmed visually. A. Yellow flames — Call for service B. Yellow tips on outer cones — It is normal for LP gas Incorrect: flame lifting off the burner Good flame: Well-defined blue flame with slight yellow tipping C. Soft blue flames — It is normal for natural gas If burner flames look like A, call for service.
OPERATION OF RANGE OFF OFF HIGH FLAME / IGNITION BURNER POSITION OVEN PUSH TO IGNITE OVEN 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. To light a burner, press the burner knob in and turn counter clockwise to high flame/ ignition position.
OPERATION OF RANGE (continued) 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.
OPERATION OF RANGE (continued) 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.
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.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS (continued) Baking Follow the recipe instructions when baking. Use correct ingredients, measure them carefully, and use the correct type and size of cookware suggested in the recipe. Remember to preheat properly. Avoid opening of the oven door as much as possible when baking. When baking cakes in glass baking dishes, lower the oven temperature to 250°F to prevent browning of the bottom and sides before the top becomes brown.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS (continued) 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.
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.
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 (or use light string to place behind the knob and pull away from the unit). 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.
CLEANING THE RANGE (continued) Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric conditions can create an oxidation reaction on the underside of the top. This will appear as rust or in the form of a reddish brown deposit. This will NOT AFFECT 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.
CLEANING THE RANGE (continued) 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. To prevent this, open the oven door for the first few seconds of initial oven heat-up. This will allow the moist air within the oven to escape, without the forming of visible moisture on the range.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE (continued) REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR FOR CLEANING To facilitate oven cleaning, it is possible to remove the door. Please follow the instructions carefully. The oven door is heavy - you may need help removing and replacing the door. To remove the door: • Open the door to fully. • Lift the left and right hooks on the hinge figure (A,B). • Hold the door as shown in figure (C) on a 45 degree angle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE (continued) REMOVING THE KICKPLATE FOR CLEANING It is possible to remove the magnetic kickplate at the bottom of the range to aid in cleaning underneath the range. 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. The kick plate is clipped into place - simply lift up slightly and pull outwards. 3. Pull away the kick plate.
