Hood Placement

• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30″ to a maximum of 36″ above the range cooking surface.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering), it must be a minimum of 36″ above the cooking surface.

Check the griddle frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws under the back of the griddle frame. Start with one half turn CCW of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.

1. Insert the door hinge into the hinge pocket in the front frame. When the door is properly installed, the bottom edge will be parallel to the front of the range and the hinge will click into position and support the weight of the door.
2. Tip the door parallel to the floor to free the hinge locking pin.
3. Carefully remove the pins. The door is now free to close. Install the hold down bracket. Do not tighten screw. Retain pins for future door removal.
4. Adjust the door height so the latch lock lever and spacer gauge enters the slot in the door liner as the door is closing and the top of the door should be parallel to the bottom of the control panel. Tighten down screw on hold down bracket.
5. Oven door hinges seated and hold down bracket is located in proper locked position. Now the door opens and closes properly.
6. The toe kick panel should be mounted last to prevent damage by the door.

Burner adjustments must be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Be certain that burner caps seat properly into the alignment slots in the burner bases. Before testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and that the unit has been connected to the electrical power supply. Turn the manual gas shut-off valve to the open position. Check operation of the sealed gas burners and grill by pushing and turning each knob counterclockwise to “HI”. The burner igniters will click until the flame ignites. The two far left sealed burners feature XLO®, causing the flame to cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range. This is normal operation. EACH GAS BURNER MUST BE EVALUATED FOR CORRECT FLAME PERFORMANCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.

Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise, or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air shutter (grill only) or burner ports are not blocked or clogged. Remove any blockages that exist. If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air, increase the shutter opening to increase air inlet (grill only).

The sealed top burner flames should be approximately 1″ to 1-1/2″ high. The grill flames should be as shown in Fig. 17. NOTE: No air shutter or low flame adjustment is necessary or possible with the sealed top burners.
