Installation must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-O2.

This appliance requires connection to a 3-prong or 4-prong, 240VAC split-phase, 60Hz grounded electrical source. When installed, appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-02.

Directions:

• Shut off the electrical supply to the range at the breaker box or fuse box. Leave it off until the installation has been completed.
• Move appliance to access the electrical connections.
• Disconnect electrical connections and move appliance out of and away from installation space.

When installing, moving, or servicing any appliance, wear proper protective equipment, including cut resistant gloves, steel-toed shoes, and safety glasses.

The rating plate label contains appliance certification, rating, and identification information. The model and serial number from the rating plate label is needed to register the product, order replacement parts, or when contacting customer service. The rating plate label is located in the cavity front frame on either the left or right side panel.

Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all tape and packaging materials. Check for film on stainless steel parts, padding/spacers on and around door and face of oven, cardboard and plastic on and around racks, inside storage drawer, etc. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your range.

Door can be removed for easier cleaning, servicing, or installation:

1. Open door fully.

2. On each door hinge, flip down the lock mechanism so that it engages with the door when the door is rotated towards being closed.

3. Once both lock mechanisms are engaged, continue to rotate do until ~2-3 inches from being fully closed.

4. Grasp door firmly from the sides and lift door up and out from oven face. Do not lift door by door handle to reduce risk of broken door glass.

1. Holding door from the sides, align door so that hinges slip back into openings.

2. Rotate door until ~2-3 inches from being fully closed, allow door to drop into notches on hinges.

3. Rotate door out until fully open.

4. Flip the hinge locking mechanism back up and away from the door.

5. Check that door opens and closes correctly.

6. If door does not operate correctly, re-engage locking mechanisms, remove door, and reattempt installation.

To remove drawer, fully extend drawer until it can’t be pulled out and raise the drawer panel up, then pull out the drawer.

To reinstall the drawer, align the rails on the drawer with the slides on the range and push drawer in. Open and close drawer to ensure slide rails are operating properly.

Directions:

• Using the template provided with anti-tip kit, locate the preferred location for installation of the anti-tip bracket and mark the location of the screw holes. Bracket may be installed at either the back-left or back-right corner of the installation space. Only one anti-tip bracket needs installed.
• Attach anti-tip bracket to 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, L hardware is not provided for attaching the anti-tip bracket to masonry. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, attach anti-tip bracket using two 5/16″ OD sleeve anchors (with 1/4″ bolt – either hex bolt head or hex nut head) rated for minimum 300lb tension for the masonry material present at installation site.

• Thread the power cord and leads through the opening below the terminal block.

• Secure the cord by attaching the strain relief over the cord insulation jacket. (Strain relief must be placed on the “body” of the cord and not on the “leads.”) Place the strain relief such that the leads have enough slack to connect to the terminal block without any stress or tension.

• Remove the 3 screws from the supply side of the terminal block.

• Remove the copper ground link connecting the neutral connection on the terminal block to the chassis ground.

• Attach the power cord leads to the terminal block and chassis as shown:

Directions:

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

• 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.

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

– IMPORTANT: Do not move unit by pushing or pulling on the door or control panel.

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.

• Check that the gas supply line is not damaged.

• Check to make sure 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.

• 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.

• Reinstall door, drawer, and oven racks.

Check the operation of all cooktop heating elements after the range has been completely installed, assembled, and electrical connections have been completed.

Directions:

For each burner, one at a time, rotate the knob to the “HI” position, confirm that the element begins to glow and heat up.

Confirm that the hot surface indicator light illuminates correctly.

Check the operation of oven bake and broil elements after the range has been completely installed, assembled, and electrical connections have been completed.

Directions:

• Ensure door is closed, all packaging is removed, and oven is empty except for oven rack(s).
• Press the BAKE button on the oven control – the control will default to 350°F.
• Adjust temperature setting to 170°F.
• Press the START/ENTER button on the oven control.
• Listen for relays on the electronic control to “click.”
• Without touching the oven bottom, after a couple minutes, confirm that heat can be felt radiating from the oven bottom.
• Allow BAKE mode until unit has preheated to 170°F. Confirm that display shows “PRE” and that preheat signals when temperature is reached.
• Press the CLEAR/OFF button to stop the bake mode.
• Press the BROIL button on the oven control.
• Press the START/ENTER button on the oven control.
• Without touching the broil element, after a couple minutes, confirm that heat can be felt radiating from the broil element. After several minutes, the broil element can be visually seen to start glowing red.
• Press the CLEAR/OFF button to stop the broil mode.
• If anything does not operate correctly, have the operation investigated by qualified service provider.

The installation process is complete. As a final check to confirm all steps have been completed successfully, the installer must read through the following checklist and initial each item indicating the work was performed according to these instructions:

• Installation space has been confirmed to meet the Clearances and Dimensions requirements, including that airflow is unobstructed at the front of the unit.
• Anti-tip bracket has been properly installed, and the range leveling leg has been confirmed to engage correctly with anti-tip bracket.
• Electrical supply has been properly connected to the range, in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
• Conversion for LP gas and high-altitude installations has been completed, if necessary.
• Oven operation and oven controls have been verified to work correctly.
• The oven door and drawer have been installed properly and operate correctly. Oven door closes completely.
• All instructions, including this manual, conversion instructions, and anti-tip bracket instructions, have been left with the owner/resident, with directions to retain for future reference.

Possible Reason:

• Improper cookware – Only use pans with flat bottoms and that match the diameter of the cooktop heating element selected.
• Large pots and pans can lose a lot of heat from the top -cover pan with a lid to retain heat better.

Possible Reason:

• If control panel display is not lit, appliance may not be receiving power – check circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped and that cord is properly plugged in.

Possible Reason:

• This is normal – cooktop heating element will cycle off/on to maintain the power level selected at the knob. This is normal even on the highest setting.

Possible Reason:

• This is normal – cooktop heating element will begin cycling again once the heating element has cooled slightly.

Possible Reason:

• Incorrect cleaning method used – scratches cannot be removed, but further scratching can be avoided by following the cleaning instructions in this manual.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used or cookware has been slid across cooktop – scratches cannot be removed, but further scratching can be avoided by ensuring cookware is flat-bottomed, smooth, clean, and not slid across cooktop.

Possible Reason:

• Cooktop is not cleaned thoroughly – see section in this manual on care and cleaning of cooktop.

Possible Reason:

• Sugary spill has occurred on hot glass – this cannot be repaired. Service must be called to replace the cooktop glass.

Possible Reason:

• This is normal with a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Still, to be careful, you should double-check that all packaging has been removed from the appliance – check around door sides and inside drawer.

Possible Reason:

• If control panel display shows only “]” or “] [“, the control is in Sabbath Mode. Refer to that section for how to operate control and how to exit Sabbath Mode.

Possible Reason:

• Check that “CONTROL LOCK” has not been activated.

Possible Reason:

• Make sure you are using the recommended rack settings. See “Rack Positions” at the start of the “Oven Operation” section.
• Recipe may perform better at different rack position. Moving food down one rack position will cause the bottom to become darker and top to become lighter. Moving food up one rack position will cause bottom to become lighter and top to become darker.

Possible Reason:

• Oven light may be burned out. Follow instructions in “Cleaning and Maintenance” of user” manual.

Possible Reason:

• It is normal for steam to be released from the oven vent at the back of the cooktop. If the exhaust has no smell (or smells like normal baking food), do not be alarmed.
• If the exhaust smells like burning food, check that the food is not burning and that there is no spillage or splattering in the oven that may be producing the smoke.
• If the exhaust smells like any thing else is burning (plastic, wood, etc.), turn oven off and make sure smoking stops. Contact a qualified service provider for repairs.

Possible Reason:

• This is a error code. Press “CLEAR/OFF” to clear the display and stop beeping. If necessary, reset power to the oven by cycling circuit breaker off and on. If error code remains or repeats, write down error code and contact a qualified service provider for repairs.
