30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For Gas Venturi models with Electric Ignition)
5
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
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).
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.")
5. Read electrical connection details below and connect
electricity to range.
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 elect 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.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! For personal
safety, this product must be properly grounded.
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.
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.
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.
Check Surface Burners
To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface burner knob
to the LITE position. Each burner should light within four (4)
seconds in normal operation. Once the burner lights, the knob
should be rotated out of the LITE position. Try each knob separately
until all burner valves have been checked.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE
THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

Air adjustment
The air shutter (adjustment) for each of the four top burners is
located at the open end of the venturi tube and sets on the hood
of the valve.
Should the air shutter need adjusting, rotate the air shutter to allow
more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.
If the air is properly adjusted, the flame will be steady, relatively
quiet, and have approximately 1/2" sharp blue cone. (Usually
about the center of air shutter's ajustment.)
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. If
the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the burner, reduce
the air shutter opening size.
8. Oven Burner Adjustments
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.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as
well as an electric oven 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 dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner
flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes "OFF."
To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue
as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven:
a)
Set oven to BAKE at 300ºF. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.
b)
Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for
proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset
controls to off.
c)
Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for
proper flame. Reset controls to off.
