• A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed Three (3) feet.

CAUTION:

THESE RANGES SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SUITABLE OVERHEAD VENT HOOD. Due to the high heat capacity of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood duct work installation to assure it meets local building codes.

Standard countertop installations:

A 1200 CFM hood is recommended for 48″ & 60″ ranges.

A 600 CFM hood is recommended for 30″ & 36″ ranges.

Hoods should be 24″ min. deep and at least the same width as the cooktop. FiveStar hoods may be installed from 24″ to 30″ above the cooking surface. A minimum of 28″ is required when a FiveStar Backsplash with warming shelves is used.

CAUTION:

These ranges weigh up to 510 pounds. Some disassembly will reduce the weight considerable. Due to the weight and size of the range and to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the produce and/or damage to the floor, TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.

Inspection and Unpacking

Check the range carton for visible damage. If there is damage or even creases in the carton, contact the carrier, request an inspection and file the appropriate freight claim. Do not refuse shipment. Responsibility for shipping damage is with the carrier and the dealer or end user. Cut the shipping straps, then carefully lift the carton up from the range. This will help eliminate possible damage to the backguard that is packed in the top of the range carton.

Remove, unwrap and temporarily lay aside any parts that are not attached to the range. Make sure no parts are left in the carton for accidental disposal. Carefully inspect the range for damage.

REMOVE PACKAGING

Before moving the range indoors:

• Remove outer carton and packing material from the shipping base. The range is now ready for removal from the wooden base.

Due to the weight of these ranges, use a dolly with soft wheels to move this range.

• Lift the range onto the dolly and move indoors.
• The range should be placed onto sliders to prevent damage to the floor.

To simplify handling and to reduce the weight of the range:

• Remove the grates and the burner pans.
• Remove griddle/grill and housing.
• Remove the broiler pan, racks and literature package from inside oven.

LIFT OFF DOOR

To remove oven door(s):

• Open door fully.
• Rotate the “hinge retainers” into the locked position, as shown over the hook located on the bottom side of each hinge quadrant.
• Lift the door slightly, to clear “hinge slots”, and pull straight out to clear hinge mechanism from main front opening.

This range must be supplied with 120 volt, 60 Hz. and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of shock hazard from this appliance.

If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

• Locate the electric supply within the area shown or within reach of the cooktop’s six foot power cord.
• To avoid tangling cord with items stored in the cabinet, locate the receptacle or rear wall, inside the cabinet.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL GAS RANGES:

120 volts, 60 Hz, 15 amps

CONNECTING THE RANGE TO GAS

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A.G.A. certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread with Teflon* tape all around male (external) pipe threads.

6-1. Install a manual gas shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

6-2. Install male ½” flare union adapter to the ½” NPT internal thread at inlet of the regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

6-3. Install male ½” or ³/₄” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

6-4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve or vise versa.

6-5. When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

INSTALLING THE BACKGUARD – SEALED BURNER MODELS

NOTE: PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

7-1

Remove the burner grates, griddle/grill and housing.

7-2

From the front of the range, remove the Phillip screws in the rear of each burner pan (black pan where the top burners are located).

7-3

From the rear of the range, remove two screws from the rear of the side panels, the upper most screw on each side. You will need a ⁵/₁₆” nut-driver or ⁵/₁₆” socket to remove these screws. (Tools with a magnetized tip will be helpful in replacing the backguard screws.)

7-4

From the rear of the range, locate the upper wire cover with tab slots. Remove two ⁵/₁₆” mounting screws. This cover will be reinstalled once the backguard is installed.

7-5

Screws are installed in the backguard, at the Factory for assembly to the backguard support. It is important that you locate and remove these four screws from the backguard before you attempt to install the backguard to the range backguard support.

7-6

Remove the vinyl protective covering from the front of the backguard.

7-7

The front of the backguard should fit between the back burner pans and the rear support. If the burner pan and rear support have a tight tolerance, place a thin bladed screw driver at either end, between the burner pan and rear support, to start placement of the backguard. Slide the backguard over the exhaust vent(s). Align the slots in the front of the backguard with the rear support bar locator studs.

7-8

With the backguard in position, secure the backguard to the rear backguard support using the four ⁵/₁₆” screws removed in step 7-4, re-install the screws in the edge of the side panels and replace the screws in the back of each burner pan. Re-install griddle/grill housing. Do not re-install the grates at this point.

7-9

Reinstall the upper wire cover that was removed in Step 7-4. Place the cover into position with the lower backguard panel fitting into the tab slots. Reinstall the two ⁵/₁₆” mounting cover screws.

LEVEL THE RANGE

1. Remove shipping tape from the leveling legs.

2. Carefully slide the range into position. Be careful not to damage the floor or entangle power cord and gas flexible tubing.

3. To adjust leveling legs, turn counter-clockwise to raise the range; clockwise to lower. “Channel-lock” type pliers are recommended. Avoid using a pipe wrench which can scar the legs.

IMPORTANT: The range should always be installed at countertop height or higher. DO NOT INSTALL THE RANGE LOWER THAN ADJACENT COUNTERTOP HEIGHT, DUE TO RISK OF A FIRE HAZARD

REPLACE THE OVEN DOORS

To replace the oven door(s):

• Insert hinges into front frame opening locating “hinge slots” on front frame as shown.
• Rotate “hinge retainers” back into the “open” position.
• Rotate door to make sure it functions properly.

CAUTION:

Take care when replacing the oven doors. If the hinge latch is not securely locked, the hinge may snap back and separate. If the hinge separates, you must apply pressure (possibly with your foot) to press it back together and then engage the hinge tech.

INSTALLATION OF ANTI-TIP BRACKET ON 24″, 30″ AND 36” MODELS

1. Re-check to make sure tape has been removed from leveling legs.

2. Place range in proper location with back of range against rear wall.

3. Adjust leg levelers to match counter height.

4. Remove range and install anti-tip bracket to wall. (See Note: Fig. 2)

5. Re-install range. Anti-tip bracket flange must enter slot in back to prevent tipping.

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 the installation remove the right top burner grates and pan and verify that the anti-tip device is engaged in the backguard slot.

SURFACE BURNER OPERATION

SEALED BURNERS
