INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE
Read the following electrical
connection details before
connecting 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 choose 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.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord (See Fig. 12).
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.
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.

Check burner cap placement.
It is
very important
to be sure that all surface burner caps
and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct
locations
before
operating the appliance. Please note that
the burner heads are secured to the cooktop.
The cooktop
is not removeable.
Do not attempt to remove or lift the
cooktop.
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products,
do not
use the cooktop without all
burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and
gas flame size.
Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use.
Do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas orifice holder openings.
Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches
the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all
round
style burner caps are correctly in place on round
burner heads.
Check and be sure that all
oval
style burner caps are
correctly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped).
Check and be sure that all
dual
or
twin
style burner caps
are correctly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if
equipped).
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 13)
should fit snug into the center of burner head and be level.
Refer to Figs. 14 & 15 for correct and incorrect burner cap
placement.
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the
burner cap from side to side (Fig. 16) to be sure it is
centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes
contact inside the center of the burner head you will be
able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the
burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner
head when sliding from side to side.
