Failure to properly convert the range for high altitude installations can result in increased risk carbon monoxide. The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-tions and all local codes and requirements. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• Units must be converted for proper operation at elevations in excess of 6,000 feet. Contact a Sharp dealer to request a High Altitude Conversion Kit. High altitude conversion requires all cooktop and oven burner orifices to be changed. Follow detailed instructions included with the conversion kit. The regulator must be set according to the fuel type in use at the installation site.

ANTI-TIP BRACKET
WARNING TIP OVER HAZARD

• A child or adult can tip the range and be injured or killed. Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged per installation instructions. Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged when the range is moved.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged. Failure to follow this precaution can result in death or serious burns to children or adults. Do not remove the leveling legs. Doing so will prevent the range from being secured by the anti-tip device.
  To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by the 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 child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

TO INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKET

1. Using the template provided with the Anti-Tip Bracket, locate the installation area of the Anti-Tip Bracket. The Anti-Tip Bracket may be installed at either the back-left or back-right corner of the installation space, and only one Anti-Tip Bracket is necessary.
2. Mark the location of the screws for the Anti-Tip Bracket.
3. Attach the Anti-Tip Bracket to the floor or wall.

Wood Construction Installation: 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. Screw must enter wood.
Masonry Construction Installation: Due to the variety of masonry materials that may be present at installation site, hardware is not provided for attaching the Anti-Tip Bracket to masonry. If the bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, attach using two 5/16″ OD sleeve anchors (with 1/4″ bolt, either hex bolt head or hex nut head) rated for minimum 300 lb tension for the masonry material present at installation site.

REAR TRIM KIT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
If there is no counter surface around the back edge of the installa-tion space, or if the countertop cutout is greater than 25″ deep, this may prevent the range from being installed flush to the back wall. If this occurs, a trim kit can be installed to cover a gap up to 1″ in width. See Figure 4.

TO INSTALL REAR TRIM

1. Align filler trim to mounting holes.
2. Attach with screws provided as shown in Figure 5.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54.
• Do not overtighten the connection to the regulator. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.
• Do not use a flame to check for leaks.
• The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the quality of work performed, including checking for leaks and ensuring installation meets code requirements.

TO CONNECT TO GAS SUPPLY

1. Shut off the main gas supply valve.

2. Because the range must be pulled away from the installation space to provide access to the gas regulator connections, and because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the range can only be installed using a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector. Contact Sharp Customer Service if local codes require a hardpiped connection. Never use an old connector when installing a new range.

3.  To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipethread tape with Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads.

4. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessible location outside of the range. Instruct the consumer on the location and operation of the shut-off valve.

5. As shown in Figure 6 below, install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″ NPT internal thread at the regulator inlet using no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

6. As shown in Figure 6 below, install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve using no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque, taking care to back up the shutoff valve to keep it from turning.

7. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range.

8. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

9. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the shut-off valve.

10. When all connections have been made, leave the range pulled out from installation space. Ensure the shut-off valve is open and all range controls are in the off position.

11. Turn on the main gas supply valve and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system.

12.  Form the gas flexible connector as shown. This will prevent the flexible connector from pinching or blocking the unit when the unit is pushed into its final position.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING ELECTICAL SHOCK HAZARD

•  Installation must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
• Do not use an extension cord with this product.
• The power supply cord and plug should not be modified. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before begin-ning installation.
• Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor con-nection to an electric range.
• The appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified service provider.
  This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and be connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located in the storage drawer. After installation, instruct the consumer where the main range electrical disconnect is located and how to operate it.

PLACING UNIT

IMPORTANT All ranges are heavy. Sliding the range can damage the floor. Use care when moving the range. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging the floor, or use cardboard, plywood or stiff plastic to avoid damaging the floor while sliding the range.
Getting the unit properly placed in the installation space and level may require multiple attempts. It is recommended to measure and adjust leveling legs carefully before placing into the installation space, as the leveling legs may be difficult to adjust once the range is in its final position.

TO PLACE UNIT

1. Use tape measure to measure from the floor to the top of the counter top at all four corners of the installation space.

2. While range is still positioned outside the installation space, adjust the leveling leg at each corner so that the distance from the floor to the underside of the cooktop edge matches the dimensions measured in the installation space.

3. Using two people, move range into its final installation location, being careful not to damage countertops, floor or appliance.
   NOTES:

   • Do not move unit by pushing or pulling on the door or control panel. Do not lift by the cooktop edges. Push, pull or lift only on the body or structural areas, such as oven, oven face or back corners of range.
   • Be careful not to pinch or kink the gas or electrical connections. If unit does not move in smoothly, check for obstructions Do not attempt to force the unit into position.
   • Dampening the countertop where the cooktop overhangs with soapy water may allow the range to slide into position more smoothly.
   • The metal flange under each side of the cooktop MUST be placed over the cabinet countertop for proper unit support. The cooktop should NOT rest directly on the countertop or else it could cause damage to the cooktop voiding the warranty. See Figure 7.

4. Ensure the gas supply line is not damaged.

5. Ensure the back leg of the range has engaged properly into the Anti-Tip Bracket. If visual inspection is not possible:

   • Slide range forward.
   • Confirm Anti-Tip Bracket is securely attached to floor or wall in correct position according to installation instructions.
   • Fully slide the range back against the wall so that leveling leg engages with Anti-Tip Bracket.

6. To ensure baked goods, such as breads and cakes, come out even and level, confirm that the range is level by placing on the center rack position. Check level both front-to-back and side-to-side. Use adjustable pliers to adjust leveling legs as necessary to level the range.
   IMPORTANT: The weight of the product is to be supported by the leveling legs. When adjusting leveling legs, do not adjust so far that the weight of the product is supported by the cooktop resting on the countertop. If countertops are not level, leveling the range may cause one or more corners of the cooktop to not contact the countertop surface. If this occurs, the range can be installed unleveled to allow the cooktop to contact the entire perimeter. Be advised that this may affect performance for some baked goods. In these cases, foam tape rated for 194 °F minimum can be placed around countertop edge to fill the gap caused by leveling. Do not use caulking or other adhesives that would bind the cooktop to the counter.

7. Reinstall door, drawer and oven racks.

SURFACE BURNER ASSEMBLY AND PLACEMENT

• Position surface burner heads on top of the burner caps as shown. Ensure the surface burner heads are flat and parallel with the cooktop. Place the matching size caps on top of each surface burner head. See Figure 8.

• Orient the burner grates by finding the raised labels on the underside of each grate. All grates are stamped with REAR on the underside at the end of the grate that must be installed near the vents and with L indicating the left grate, M indicating the middle grate and R indicating the right grate. Place the grates on the cooktop with ends marked L REAR, M REAR and R REAR the correct positions. Grates are not interchangeable and must be placed correctly. See Figure 9.

CONFIRM OPERATION

After the range has been installed and assembled, gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks and the electrical power cord has been connected, confirm the operation of all cooktop burners. To purge any air that may remain inside the range gas tubing, it is recommended to confirm operation of the cooktop burners before confirming operation of the oven.

TO CONFIRM COOKTOP OPERATION

1. For each burner, testing one at a time, rotate the knob to the Lite position. Confirm that clicking is heard and visually observe the electrode sparking properly to the burner cap.
2. Allow a few seconds for the burner to ignite and observe flame quality. Light all surface burners and set to the highest setting.
   • Soft blue flames indicate normal operation for natural gas.
   • Blue flames with yellow tips on the outer cones indicate normal operation for LP gas.
   • Yellow flames indicate abnormal operation for any gas. Call for service.
3. For each burner, compare flame height at the highest and lowest setting and confirm Lo heat is sufficiently low for the size of burner being tested.
4. For each burner, rotate the knob quickly to the lowest setting and confirm the flame is not extinguished.
5. Turn off all but one burner. With one burner still at the lowest setting, quickly open and close the oven door and confirm the flame is not extinguished.
6. If burner flame is extinguished during any of the above tests, or if flames are unacceptably large at the lowest setting, adjust the low flame setting.

TO ADJUST LOW FLAME SETTING

1. Light all surface burners. Set all burners at the highest setting except the one being adjusted. Set the burner being adjusted to the lowest setting.

2.  Remove the knob by pulling firmly straight out.

3.  Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the valve shaft. Fit tip of screwdriver into small screw head at base of valve shaft. See Figure 10.

4. Holding the valve shaft with one hand to prevent it from turning, turn the screwdriver to adjust flame height (counter-clockwise increases flow; clockwise decreases flow).

5. Repeat for any burners requiring calibration at the lowest setting.

6. When adjustment is complete, repeat the full burner operation testing described above.

TO CONFIRM OVEN OPERATION

1. Ensure all packaging is removed and oven is empty except for oven racks. Close oven door.
2. Touch Bake pad on the control panel. The default temperature is 350 °F. Use the numeric keypad to adjust the temperature setting to 170 °F. Touch START/ENTER pad.
3. Listen for a clicking sound from the spark igniter followed by a whoosh sound of ignition. If the oven does not ignite immediately, the spark igniter will only activate for a few seconds. If this happens, the oven control will turn off the gas flow to the burner, wait 10-15 seconds, and re-attempt ignition. It will make a total of 3 attempts before generating an error. The entire process should take less than 1 minute.
4. It is normal for the oven control to attempt igniting 2 or 3 times immediately after the unit is first installed due to residual air in the gas lines inside the range. If the oven takes multiple attempts to ignite, cancel the bake mode and restart to confirm the oven ignites on the first attempt. Once all air has been purged from the gas lines, the oven should ignite immediately on first attempt. If oven continues to require multiple attempts to ignite, contact a qualified service provider for investigation and repairs.
5. Allow Bake mode to operate until the oven has preheated to 170 °F. Confirm the display indicates the temperature increasing and signals when the temperature is reached. Touch CLEAR/ OFF pad to stop the Bake mode.
6. Touch Broil pad on the control panel. Touch START/ENTER pad.
7. Listen for a clicking sound from the spark igniter followed by a whoosh sound of ignition. If the broil burner does not ignite immediately, see step 3 above.
8. Observe the broil flame quality through the oven door window. If flames do not carry all the way around the broil burner, this may indicate air in the gas lines. Allow the burners to operate for a 1–2 minutes to purge the lines of any remaining air.
9. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to stop Broil mode. If anything does not operate correctly or if broil flames appear abnormal, call for service.
