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 YOU 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.
Notice: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during the self-cleaning cycle, overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine or overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds. PROPER INSTALLATION: Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-latest edition, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this owner’s guide. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. 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.
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.
Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if place too close to the flame. Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner. Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current health standards.
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.
GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units) NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS: Be sure this document is included in all gas range appliances sold to consumers in the State of Massachusetts.
• • • Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. Appliances must be connected with 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. Have the dealer where you purchase your new range install it or have him recommend a qualified installer. Installation must conform with local codes.
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. 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. (The serial plate is located on the bottom of the broiler cavity.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS Installation It is the responsibility of the installer to make certain that the range is properly adjusted at the time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or 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.
To Convert and/or Adjust 1. Convertible Pressure Regulator 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. The range should be tested by pressurizing the regulator with an inlet pressure at least 1 inch water column above the manufacturer's specified manifold pressure shown on the serial plate. The range will be equipped with one of the two types of regulators shown.
Note: What you read on the converter cap or plunger is the type of gas for which the regulator is set. If yours reads NAT, the regulator is set for natural gas. If yours reads LP, the regulator is set for LP. 2. Top Pilots (Gas) The top burner pilots can be adjusted by a screw located on the pilot filter attached on the rear face of the manifold pipe. Adjust the pilot flame until there is only a slight tip of yellow on the flame. Pilots are constant burning.
When converting the gas valves, the minimum flame adjustment screw must be adjusted through the center of the valve stem. You will need a 3/32” flat blade screw driver to make this adjustment. Hold the valve stem and turn the adjustment screw until the proper flame of approximately 1/8” is obtained.
Top Burner Height Make sure the top burners are properly positioned. The top of the burner head should be level with the surface of the main top. To check, lay a straight edge such as a 12-inch ruler across the burner bowl opening. The ruler should rest squarely on the top while in contact with the burner head. If the burner is too high (make sure the burner is cool), push it down. Supply enough force with the palm of you hand to accomplish this adjustment.
Oven Pilot The oven pilot is located along the left hand side of the oven burner. It is fastened under the flame safety probe. The flame of the oven pilot ignites main burner gas when the oven is turned on. If the pilot flame is not present, the flame safety device will not allow pilot gas or main burner gas to flow. Pilot flame size is set by the adjustment screw located along the side of the thermostat.
the knob in too far to the ignitor lighting position, the knob will not turn. Gently let up on the knob, and the thermostat shaft will release its safety key to let you rotate the control. When finished cooking, you may turn the oven control knob back to the “STANDBY” position. This will turn off the main oven burner, but will keep the oven pilot lit and ready. If desired, you may turn the knob all the way back to the “OFF” position to shut off the oven pilot ignitor.
contact a qualified serviceman. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE RANGE YOURSELF. MOISTURE: Moisture can have the same effect on the oven ignitor as the pilot flame. If sparking does not occur when the oven thermostat knob is turned on during the initial attempt to use the oven or after several days of non-use, it COULD BE the result of moisture build-up in the ceramic sleeve of the oven electrode.
broiler compartment after the pilot gas ignites. From 20 to 60 seconds after the pilot ignites, gas will flow to the oven burner and the burner will ignite. • Close the broiler door. • Set desired temperature. • When cooking is finished, turn the Oven Temperature Control to OFF. This will shut off all gas to the oven.
The air shutter should be set approximately 2/3 open for natural gas, and approximately full open on LP gas. The oven burner air shutter adjustment is the same on ranges with a gas pilot or electric ignition. OPERATION OF RANGE Using Your Range The range may have only part of the features described within this manual. If your range has some features which are not covered in this manual, these features will be covered in other enclosed literature.
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Arranging Oven Racks The oven racks should be arranged before the oven is turned "ON." Place the racks so the food is centered in the oven.. 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).
DO NOT USE THE BROILER AREA FOR STORAGE OF UTENSILS. Oven Racks The oven racks should be arranged before the oven knob is turned to an “ON” position. Place the racks so the food is centered in the oven, not the rack. When more than one utensil is used, be sure to stagger them allowing space between each one. Do not allow the utensil to touch any part of the oven, especially the glass window.
rack as this would cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom. If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser, soap-filler abrasive pads or an oven cleaner following package directions. Broiler Compartment The broiler pan is held in place by a wire broiler rack.
broiling fatty meats, the lowest broil must be used, however, we recommend the lowest positions at all times. Always broil with the oven door closed. When broiling is completed, turn the dial to OFF and remove the broil pan temporarily for cleaning. Do not use the broiler area for storage of utensils. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Heavy Spillovers–Unusual Stains The continuous cleaning oven feature will make cleanups easy.
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 away the knob markings. If the knobs become loose on the valve stem, spread the valve stem slightly with a small screwdriver.
The porcelain finish top can be cleaned with detergent and warm water. A mild glass wax can be used to shine the top. Range tops finished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spatters or soiling after each use. Clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. A light coat of oil or thin cooking oil should be applied periodically to the chrome top surface and underside.
Cleaners and Cleaning Materials Do not use harsh cleaners or degreasers on or around functional parts (valves, controls, etc., or aluminum tubing). This will damage or drastically reduce the life of the part. Use only a mild solution of soap and water on backguards, aluminum control panels and painted surfaces. Never use harsh abrasives or cleaning powders that may scratch or mar the surface.
Lift-Off Oven Door (on some models) The oven door is removable (on some models) but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. To remove the door, open it to the full open position. Raise the locking mechanism by applying force to the locking mechanism lever. Close the door until it stops against the locking mechanism. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
