INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5
Be sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. It is the responsibility of the technician to be certain that your range
is properly installed. Situations caused by 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.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of tipping the appliance by abnormal usage
or improper door loading, the appliance must be secured by properly installing
the anti-tip device packed with the appliance. To check if the device is installed
and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The anti-tip device should
engage and prevent the range from tipping over.
If this range is removed for any reason, service or cleaning etc,. it must be
replaced as outlined in the installation instructions, before placing the range back
in operation.
LEVELING A FREE
STANDING RANGE
All free-standing ranges must be level to obtain proper cooking results.
The leveling legs should be screwed into the corner brackets. Place a
level, or a pan or measuring cup partially filled with water, level on oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs until the range is level. The top of the side
panels should be level with countertop or work surface.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to keep the leg levelers. Leveling of the range is
very important.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have the dealer where you purchased your new range install or recommend a qualified installer. Installation
must conform with local codes. The range should be connected to a supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe
or a certified flexible type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing compound, which is
resistant to liquefied gases, on all threaded connections.
IMPORTANT:
Do not apply pressure directly to the range manifold pipe when tightening supply
connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the pressure regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the
pressure regulator with a wrench during the tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted
and split, causing a dangerous leak.
Note:
The installation of ranges designed for manufactured (mobile) homes must conform to specific
standards and local codes.Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to check
for gas leaks. It is possible for connections made at the factory to leak due to vibrations encountered in
transportation. Have any suspected leaks repaired before use by a qualified service personnel.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Your range is grounded with a three-conductor (three-prong plug) supply cord which
will ground the range when plugged into a similar grounded wall receptacle.
If the backgaurd of the range has a clock or light, connect the cord from the backgaurd into the special
terminal block located at the top of the main back directly under the backgaurd supply cord.The appliance
must be electrically grounded when installed in accordance with local codes.
