Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range should 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.
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 1-13/16″ (45.6 mm) 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 1-13/16” (45.6 mm) 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” (3 mm) 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 3/16” (4.8 mm) pilot hole 1-3/4” (44 mm) deep.
The screws provided may be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16” (8 mm) 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 : Aminimum clearance of 1/8” (3 mm) 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 carefully attempt to tilt it forward.

Provide an adequate gas supply

Please note: Operation at elevations above 2000 ft., appliance rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1000 ft. above sea level.
This appliance is pre-set to operate on 4” natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. If the LP/Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions provided with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/ Propane use.
Care must be taken during installation of range not to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14 inches of water column pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1 inch greater than regulator manifold pressure. Example: If regulator is set for natural gas 4 inch manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5 inches; if regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas 10 inch manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11 inches.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the instructions in step 4g.
The gas supply line should be 1/2” or 3/4” I.D.

Seal wall openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range after gas supply line is installed.

Connect range to gas supply

Note : To prevent leaks use pipe joint sealant on all male (outside) pipe threads. Do not allow gas pressure regulator to turn on pipe when tightening fittings.
a. Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas supply line in an accessible location outside of range.
Be sure you know where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range (See Fig. 8).
b. Install 1/2” flare union adapter to gas pressure regulator using no more than 15ft./lbs. of torque (Refer to Fig. 8).

Be sure to stabilize the gas pressure regulator before tightening ANY fittings to the pressure regulator. Do not allow pressure regulator to turn on pipe when tightening fittings (Refer to Fig. 9).c. Tighten the gas supply fitting and/or appliance conduit to flare union adaptor on the right side of the pressure regulator (refer to Fig. 10) using NO MORE THAN 15ft./lbs. of torque. Be sure to stabilize the 1/2” flare union adapter with an adjustable wrench before tightening the gas supply fitting and/or appliance conduit.d. Install flare union adapter to external manual shut-off valve (See Fig. 8).
e. Attach flexible appliance conduit to flare union adaptor on shut-off valve (See Fig. 8).
f. Make sure the service shut-off valve on pressure regulator is set to the ON position (See Fig. 11).
g. Check for gas leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system.

Checking manifold gas pressure
WARNING Do not use flame to check for gas leaks.
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14” of water column pressure (approximately 1/2” psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14” of water column pressure (approximately 1/2” psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately 1/4,” hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2) other top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over 14” water column. When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the manifold pressure is 4”. For LP/Propane Gas the manifold pressure is 10”.

Read the following electrical connection details before connecting electricity to range

WARNING 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.
WARNING Please read carefully! For personal safety, 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 grounded 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 qualified 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. The cooktop is not removeable. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

WARNING To prevent flare-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 flame 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 orifice 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 correctly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check and be sure that all dual or twin style burner caps are correctly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped).
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 13) should fit 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 fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 16) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

Check ignition of surface burners

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
a. To check for proper ignition, push in and turn a surface burner knob counterclockwise to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking.
b. The surface burner should ignite when gas is available to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines.
c. Visually check that burner has a flame. Once the burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.
d. Try each surface control knob separately until all surface burners have been checked. Each burner location is equipped with a separate electrode.

Adjust LOW setting of surface burner valves (linear flow).
Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted:

a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b. Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position.
c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
d. Remove the surface burner control knob.
e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 18).
WARNING DO NOT remove the adjustment screw from the valve stem.
f. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without extinguishing.
Note : Air mixture adjustments are not required on surface burners. Check ignition of oven burners

The operation of oven igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power. Be sure all packing materials and literature are removed from oven.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is equipped with an upper oven burner, it will also have an electric burner igniter.
These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will “glow” similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the set temperature, the glowing igniter will cycle off.
The burner flame will turn off in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter turns off.  To maintain any set oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the oven control is set to operate.
To check oven burner ignition:
a. Set oven to Bake at 300ºF. See User’s Manual for operating instructions.
b. Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset control to OFF.
c. If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler, set oven to Broil. See User’s Manual for operating instructions.
d. Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame. Reset control to OFF.

Make sure range is level

Level the range by placing a level horizontally on an oven rack. Check diagonally from front to back, then level the range by either adjusting the leveling legs or by placing shims under the corners of the range as needed. Note: After installation is complete, make sure all controls are left in the off position.

Care, Cleaning and Maintenance

Refer to the Use & Care Manual for cleaning instructions.
If removing the range is necessary for cleaning or maintenance, shut off gas supply. Disconnect the gas and electrical supply. If the gas or electrical supply is inaccessible, lift the range slightly at the front and pull out away from the wall. Pull out only as far as necessary to disconnect the gas and electrical supply. Finish removing the range for servicing and cleaning. Reinstall in reverse order making sure to level the range and check gas connections for leaks. Be sure to read and follow step 1 for proper Anti-tip installation.

Model and Serial Number Location

The serial plate is located on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame at the storage or warmer drawer; or the lower panel area.
When ordering parts for or making inquires about your range, always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate on your range.
Your serial plate also tells you the Kilowatt rating (power requirements) and Voltage ratings.
