INSTALLATION 13 ENGLISH INSTALLATION Before Installing the Range Make sure your range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts •• This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. •• When using ball type gas shut-off valves, they must be the T-handle type.
14 INSTALLATION Installing the Range Unpacking and Moving the Range CAUTION •• You should use two or more people to move and install the range. (Excessive Weight Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. •• Do not use the door handles to push or pull the range during installation or when moving the range out for cleaning or service. Doing so can result in serious damage to the door of the range. Remove packing material, tape and any temporary labels from your range before using.
INSTALLATION 15 Provide proper clearance between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see Gas Pipe and Electrical Outlet Locations, page 14) may be adjusted to meet specific requirements. The range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush) at the back wall. Installation Clearances Maximum depth for cabinets above coutertops 30" (76.2 cm) 30" (76.2 cm) Minimum 13" 15" (38.1 cm) 36" (91.
16 INSTALLATION Installing the Anti-tip Device Anti-tip bracket Screw must enter wood or concrete Wall plate Providing Adequate Gas Supply Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural gas or 10" of water column on LP. Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is configured. The anti-tip bracket is packaged with an installation template. The instructions include necessary information to complete the installation.
INSTALLATION 17 Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector should be used unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. A manual valve shall be installed in an accessible location in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
18 INSTALLATION Electrical Connections Electrical Requirements 120 Volt, 60 Hz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow blow fuse. If an external electrical source is utilized, the appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Grounding IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
INSTALLATION 19 Quality of Flames The combustion quality of the burner flames needs to be confirmed visually. A Yellow flames - Call for service. CAUTION Do not operate the burners without all parts in place. B Yellow tips on outer cones - This is normal for LP gas Place the burner caps and heads on the cooktop. Make sure that the caps and heads are placed in the correct locations. There is one small, one medium, one large, and one extra large burner head and cap.
20 INSTALLATION Checking Operation of Bake / Broil Burners To check ignition of the Bake burner, follow the steps below: 1 Remove all packing from inside the oven cavity. 2 Touch Bake. 350 °F appears in the display. 3 Touch Start. Leveling the Range Level the range by adjusting the leveling legs. Extending the legs slightly may also make it easier to insert the rear leg into the anti-tip bracket. It may take between 30 and 90 seconds for the burner to start heating.
OPERATION 21 Gas Surface Burners Before Use Read all instructions before using. Make sure that all burners are properly placed. CAUTION WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS •• Open windows. •• Do not try to light any appliance. •• Do not touch any electrical switch. •• Do not use any phone in your building. •• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

This feature can only be used with the Bake, Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast modes.
OPERATION 31 CAUTION •• Replace the oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns. •• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking performance and may damage the oven bottom. •• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. Removing Racks 1 While wearing oven mitts, grasp the oven rack*. 2 Pull the rack straight out until it stops. 3 Lift up the front of the rack. 4 Pull out the rack.
32 OPERATION Bake Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 °F (80 °C) to 550 °F (285 °C). The default temperature is 350 °F (175 °C). Setting the Bake Function (example, 375 °F) 1 Touch Bake. 2 Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5. 3 Touch Start. The oven starts to preheat. As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed and rises in 5-degree increments.
OPERATION 33 The convection system uses a fan to circulate heat evenly within the oven. This improves heat distribution and allows for even cooking and excellent results, especially when using multiple racks. Convection cooking can also shorten cooking times. Convection Bake Setting the Conv. Bake Function (example: to Conv. Bake 375 °F) Convection Baking Chart If auto conversion is disabled, reduce standard recipe temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) for Convection Bake.
34 OPERATION Cookware for Convection Cooking Convection Roast Any cookware safe for use in a conventional oven will work in a convection oven. But for best results, keep the following in mind. The Convection Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
OPERATION 35 Setting the Upper oven to Broil Your oven is designed for closed-door broiling. Broil uses an intense heat radiation from the upper gas burner. The Broil function works best when broiling thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry or fish. CAUTION •• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. The oil can cause a grease fire. •• Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will cause a fire. •• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage.
36 OPERATION Recommended Broiling Guide The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling. Upper oven Food Ground Beef Well done Quantity and/or Thickness Rack First Side Position (minutes) 1 lb.
OPERATION 37 Warm This function automatically sets the upper or lower oven temperature to cook either frozen pizza with regular or rising crust, or freshly made pizza. Simply choose the type of pizza (see chart) and set the desired cook time. This function will maintain an oven temperature of 170 °F. The Warm function will keep cooked food warm for serving up to three hours after cooking has finished.
38 OPERATION Proof This feature maintains a warm oven for rising yeast leavened products before baking. Setting the Proof Function 1 Use rack position 2 or 3 for proofing. 2 Touch Warm/Proof until Proof appears in the display. 3 Touch Start. 4 Touch Clear/Off when proofing is finished. NOTE •• To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily. Check bread products early to avoid over proofing.
