30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Starting

Tools You Will Need
For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:
Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers
5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screw Driver
Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit (5/32" Masonry Drill Bit
if installing in concrete)
For gas supply connection:
Pipe wrench
For burner flame adjustment:
Phillips head
blade-type screwdrivers
For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):
Open end wrench - 1/2"
Additional Materials You Will Need
Gas line shut-off valve
Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas
A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or 1/
2" I.D.) must be design certified by CSA International. Because
solid pipe restricts moving the range we recommend using a
new flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot length) for each new installation
and additional reinstallations.
Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x 3/4"
or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible appliance conduit
for connection of the range.

Normal Installation Steps

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and
screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket
will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an
open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result
from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip brackets
must also be moved and installed with the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement fastened
to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall, make sure that
screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or
metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do
not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
(For Models with Electric Ignition or Standing Pilot)
and
A. Locate the Bracket Using
the Template - (Bracket may
be located on either the left or
right side of the range. Use
the information below to
locate the bracket if template
is not available). Mark the
floor or wall where left or right
side of the range will be
located.
If rear of range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4" from
wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor mount
method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket
to fit flush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket
to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the
back edge of the template against the rear wall and the side
edge of template on the mark made referencing the side of the
range. Place bracket on top of template and mark location of
the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/4"
from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the floor. For
floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back edge of the
template where the rear of the range will be located. Mark the
location of the screw holes, shown in template.
B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot hole
where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be mounted
to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20° downward
angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors,
drill a 5/32" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may
be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver
or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place.
C. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the (4)
leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/
8" is required between the bottom of the range and the leveling
leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit level to check
your adjustments. Slide range back into position. Visually
check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured
by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower panel or storage
drawer. For models with a warmer drawer or broiler
compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
