STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to at least four main substances — benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot — caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid propane fuels.
• Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by venting with an open window or by using a ventilation fan or range hood.

COOKTOP SAFETY

• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance or on the back splash of appliance.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. Do not allow children to climb, play, sit, or stand on or around any part of the appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously burned or injured.

• DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING SURFACE, BURNERS, GRATES, OR ANY AREAS NEAR THEM. Surface burners or other parts of the range may be hot even though flames are not visible.

• Areas near surface burners or throughout the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch, these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Smother grease fires with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical, or foam-type extinguisher. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  • You have a Class A, B, or C extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
  • The fire is small and contained in the area where it is started.
  • The fire department is being/has been called.
  • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use only dry potholders and oven mitts. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements, flames, or burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on this appliance can result in serious injuries and also damage the appliance.

Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating.

• Know which knob controls which surface burner. Visually check that the burner has lit.
  Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pot/pan.

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.
  Exhaust fan ventilation range hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hoods or filters. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.

• When cooking food, turn the hood fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and operation.

• Pot/pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over surface burners.
  To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the pot/pan, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Use aluminum foil only to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
  Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.

Never leave surface burners unattended. Boilovers cause smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be  done to the appliance or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
• Always use a proper flame size. Adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pot/pan. The use of undersized pots/pans will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Adjusting the flame size to appropriate levels will also improve efficiency.
• Always use proper pot/pan and cookware sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.
• Do not use stove top grills on your gas appliance. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

TIPPING SAFETY

• TIPPING RANGES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED WITH A PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICE.
• FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE INTO THE WALL COULD RESULT IN THE DEATH OF A CHILD OR ADULT.
• Install the anti-tip device to the structure and/or the range. Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged by sliding the range back toward the wall where both brackets have been secured, as outlined in the directions on “Installing The Anti-Tip Device” on page 36.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip device by safely tilting the front of the range upward slightly and moving it back to its final resting place, making sure the mounting pins slide under both brackets.
• Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged when the range is moved by following the same steps outlined above and on page 36. Re-engage the anti-tip device if the range is moved. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.
• Carefully pull on the range from the rear. If the brackets are installed correctly, the range will not tip more than 4″ (102 mm) from the wall. If it tips forward more than 4″ (102 mm), the anti-tip device has not been installed correctly.

DO NOT TIP THE RANGE MORE THAN 4″ (102 MM) FROM THE WALL ASIT COULD TIP OVER AND CAUSE INJURY.

• Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range may not be secured to the anti-tip device properly. NEVER step or sit on the door.
• The range will not tip during normal use. However, without a properly fastened anti-tip bracket, the range can tip if too much force or weight is applied to the open door.
• See installation instructions for details. Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

VENTILATION SAFETY

1. Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooking appliance (if applicable) and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilots on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

2. Because hard piping restricts movement of the appliance, the use of a CSA-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hardpiped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new appliance. If  the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe.
   To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound resistant to NG gases on all male external pipe threads.

3. Use a flexible gas line to connect to the 1/2″ regulator fitting, located on the bottom left corner underneath the appliance (when facing the rear of the range).

4. When all connections have been made, be sure all appliance controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks by using a 75% water, 25% dish washing soap solution. If a gas leak occurs, shut off gas immediately, tighten all connections, and retest for leaks.

SAFETY AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

• Please read ALL safety precautions on pages 1–10.
• NEVER use an open flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.
• Securely tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the appliance or supply line.
• Check alignment of control knob valves after connecting the appliance to the gas supply to be sure the appliance manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
• Disconnect this appliance and its individual manual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (13″ W.C.P./3.2 kPa).
• Isolate the appliance 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 1/2 psi (13″ W.C.P./3.2 kPa).
• The below figure demonstrates the proper gas hook-up flow for the SGR30 series ranges and SGR36 series ranges. The pressure regulator is located at the bottom right corner when facing the unit (bottom left corner when facing it from behind):

LIQUID PROPANE GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE (OPTIONAL)

Caution. The gas supply shall be shut off prior to disconnecting the electrical power, before proceeding with the conversion.
Caution: Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply to the appliance prior to disconnecting the electrical power.

IMPORTANT:

• If you plan to convert to propane, this procedure must be completed before installing the anti-tip device. If you are operating the range on factory-installed natural gas and do not need to convert to liquid propane, skip ahead to page 36.
• A kit for converting to liquid propane gas is supplied with your appliance. The kit is marked
  • SGR30 series ranges: “Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) Orifice Kit for SGR30 Series (SGP-LPOK30)”
  • SGR36 series ranges: ”Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) Orifice Kit for SGR36 Series (SGP-LPOK36)”

IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES

• Please make sure to read ALL safety precautions on pages 1–10.
• Failure to make the appropriate conversion after completing the gas connection process outlined on pages 24–26 may result in serious injury and property damage.
• The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the kit instructions and all local codes and requirements.
• Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• When the appliance is converted for liquid propane gas, the LPG gas supply is required to provide a minimum of 2.5 kPa/10″ W.C.P. to a maximum of 3.2 kPa/13″ W.C.P. to the appliance regulator.

WARNING
This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.

**** Disconnect electrical power to the appliance before servicing. Failing to do so may result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

ADJUSTING THE REGULATOR PRESSURE

• Shut off the gas supply to the appliance by closing the manual shut-off valve (see images below). Purge the gas line by pushing in the range knobs several times to ensure no more gas is flowing through the system.
• Unscrew the regulator access cap with a proper-sized pipe wrench (see figure below).
• Remove retainer pin by pulling it out (see figure above). NOTE: Inside the regulator is a spring; do not remove the spring or alter it in any way.
• Reverse the retainer pin and snap it back into the regulator cap (see figure below).
• Screw the regulator access cap back into the regulator and re-attach it to the nipple and flare union as shown. DO NOT over-tighten (see figures below).

CHANGING BURNER ORIFICES

• After removing the burner grates, burner caps, and burner spreads, use a 7mm nut driver or wrench to remove the existing natural gas orifices as outlined in the figure below. Carefully read and observe each orifice label for correct location.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT force or over-tighten orifices, as doing so may damage the burner base and affect the flame.
• Not indicated in the images below is the dual burner on the SGR36 series ranges. This burner includes 3 orifices — one in the middle, like below, and two on the side. Use a 7mm wrench to remove the side orifices.

Save the orifices removed from the appliance for future use. You should use the same process to re-convert to natural gas. Take extra care when handling steel parts.
Care should be taken when removing and replacing gas components. Use proper support to prevent damage to components.

ORIFICE NUMBERS
INSTALLATION TIP: To prevent any mistakes during the conversion, remove ALL existing natural gas orifices first before replacing them with the LPG orifices.
IMPORTANT: Each orifice has a number indicating its flow diameter printed on the body.
Install the proper orifices in the exact locations as noted in the illustrations and table below for SGR30 series ranges and on the next page for the SGR36 series ranges.

CHANGING OVEN ORIFICES

1. Open the oven door and remove the sliding racks. To do so, slide out the racks to their full extensions, and then lift them up and out of the sliding mechanisms. Next, remove the bottom drip pan by lifting up from each front corner and sliding out, using  care to not damage the lower burner spread in the process. Set aside.

2. Remove the upper broil burner spread screws (8 total — 2 at the front and 3 along each side) with a Phillips-head drill bit or screwdriver, as shown in the figure below.
   Carefully remove the burner vent from its connection against the back wall of the oven.
   This provides access to the orifice. **** Be careful not to scratch or damage the connection wire that will remain connected throughout this procedure.

3. Using a 7 mm socket wrench, remove the natural gas orifice as outlined in the figure below; set it aside and replace with the liquid propane gas orifice. Screw in the new orifice; use care to not overtighten. Place the burner vent back into position over the  new orifice in the AR3 slot as outlined in the figure below, then re-secure the burner spread with the screws removed in step 2.

4. For the lower burner spread, remove the 2 screws at the rear of the oven, as outlined in the left image below. Carefully lift the burner up and back into the oven cavity to access the orifice located at the front of the burner.

5. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, remove the natural gas orifice as outlined in the right image below; set aside and replace with the liquid propane gas orifice. Place the burner vent back into position before re-securing the 2 screws at the rear of the oven.

6. When finished, replace the bottom drip pan and the sliding racks in the reverse order in which they were removed in step 1.

NOTE: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Use a soap solution, 75% water, 25% dish soap. Make certain you have checked them all, and repair any connections that leak.

INSTALLING THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE

**** A child or adult can tip the range and be seriously injured or killed. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

1. After determining the final installation location within your cabinet, raise or lower the feet of the range to desired height and slide the range forward to access the back wall.
2. Secure each anti-tip bracket to the back wall by drilling 2 holes for each and fasten with the 4 provided screws, making sure the mounting side of the bracket faces toward the cabinet, as outlined in the right image below. For concrete or tile, tap 4 anchors into the drilled holes with a hammer, then fasten the bracket with the provided screws.
3. To determine proper height for each bracket, measure from the floor to the bottom of each side panel as outlined in the images below. Ensure both brackets are level.
4. Screw in the mounting pins provided with the anti-tip bracket kit into each side of the range within the bottom oven recess at left and right.
5. For reference, the width of the SGR30 series ranges oven bottom recess is 28 1/4″ (718 mm). Installing both brackets so the mounting side of the bracket faces toward the cabinet should allow both to fit comfortably within that 28 1/4″ (718 mm) oven recess. For the SGR36 series ranges, the recess width is 34 1/4″ (870 mm). However, cabinet cutouts vary by kitchen, so be sure to carefully measure before securing the brackets.
6. Slide the range back toward the wall, then safely tilt the front of the range upward slightly and move it back to its final resting place, making sure the mounting pin slides under bracket, as outlined below.

**** Carefully pull on the range from the rear. If the anti-tip device is installed correctly, the mounting pin will make contact with the bracket and the range will not tip more than 4″ (102 mm) from the wall.
