INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE
Read the following electrical
connection details before
connecting electricity to range.
Before servicing, disconnect electrical
supply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord.
Electric requirements:
A dedicated, properly grounded and polarized branch
circuit protected by a 15 amp. circuit breaker or time delay
fuse. See serial plate for proper voltage.
Extension cord precautions:
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
any extension cord. However, if you still choose to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL
listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit rating.
Such extension cords are obtainable through your local
service organization.
Please read carefully! For personal safe-
ty, this product must be properly grounded.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord (See Fig. 12).
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have it replaced with a properly ground-
ed three-prong wall receptacle.
Grounding instructions:
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualifi ed electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded and polarized.

Check burner cap placement.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps
and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct
locations before operating the appliance. Please note that
the burner heads are secured to the cooktop. The cook-
top is not removeable. Do not attempt to remove or lift
the cooktop.
To prevent fl are-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and
gas fl ame size.
Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use. Do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas orifi ce holder openings.
Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches
the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all
round style burner caps are correctly in place on round
burner heads.
Check and be sure that all oval style burner caps are cor-
rectly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check
and be sure that all dual or twin style burner caps are cor-
rectly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped).
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 13)
should fi t snug into the center of burner head and be level.
Refer to Figs. 14 & 15 for correct and incorrect burner cap
placement.
Once in place, you may check the fi t by gently sliding
the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 16) to be sure it
is centered and fi rmly seated. When the burner cap lip
makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will
be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the
burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner
head when sliding from side to side.
