PROXIMITY TO SIDE CABINET INSTALLATION This range may be installed directly adjacent to existing 36" high base cabinets. IMPORTANT- the top grate support MUST BE 3/8" above the adjacent base cabinet countertop. This may be accomplished by raising the unit using the adjustment spindles on the legs. (The countertops CANNOT be higher than 37 1/2"...
GAS CONNECTIONS The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This range uses a ½" I.D. NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to Lp gas. Manual Shut-off Valve: This installer supplied valve must be installed The appliance, its individual shut-off valve,...
RANGETOP CUTOUT and SPECIFICATIONS Gas Line Requirements: a. Gas pipe size should be 3/4" (½" inside diameter) b. Gas pipe should be 3" or less from floor and 6" from left to center of unit to allow for the flex line. i.e.
RANGE LEVELING Careful leveling of the range is critical not only to performance, but also to allow the alignment of oven doors and drip tray. Closely follow the When adjusted properly this space will be procedures below to ensure proper performance uniform from the top to the bottom of the and appearance of the range.
COMBUSTION OF GAS The Meaning of Combustion - When oxygen acts with a substance to produce large amounts of and for complete combustion of the gas. Size of heat rapidly (and usually light), the process is the inlet openings and flue outlets control called combustion or burning.

COMBUSTION OF GAS (CONTINUED) It is vital that an appliance venting system do its job. The importance of providing enough fresh BURNER COMPONENTS air to the room in which and appliance is located can not be stressed too strongly. Gas Orifice - An opening or hole, regulates or Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas.

NATURAL GAS TO LP/PROPANE CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS This product is manufactured and adjusted for operation with natural gas as shipped from the factory. To operate with LP/Propane gas, the following adjustments must be made. A pressure regulator is located in the left rear corner of the burner box. To gain access to the pressure regulator, remove the two left grates, two burner bowls, and the left grate support.
INFRARED BROILER ORIFICE SPUD CHANGE The orifice change is accomplished by: Turning the gas off at the shut-off valve Removing the range from the cabinets Remove the back guard from the range Locating the gas supply line at the end of the broiler venturi Remove and replace the orifice spud located at the end of the gas supply tube Reverse steps 3-2-1 Check the operation of the infrared broiler...

OVEN TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION Monitor house voltage during test. Must maintain at 117 VAC From ___________to____________ Monitor igniter (glo-coil) current during test. Must maintain 3.4 amps or greater. From____________to_____________ Monitor voltage across the thermal valve connectors. Must be between 3.03 and 3.3 volts A.C. From ___________to_____________ Check gas pressure at the manifold (burner orifice).
OVEN THERMOSTAT The oven thermostat maintains the correct oven temperatures in the bake and broil operations. In bake operation, thermostat contacts close completing the bake circuit through the bake ignitor, and bake gas valve to neutral. In broil operation, thermostat contacts close completing the broil circuit through the broil ignitor and broil gas valve to neutral.
