horizontally to ensure the proper preset outlet pressure. If mounted in any other direction, the outlet
pressure must be rechecked and possibly reset. A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to
allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not obstruct the limiter or the gas regulator, as obstruction
may cause the regulator to malfunction.
GAS CONNECTIONS
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action
of propane gases.
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and
water solution. Do not use an open flame.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT
obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the range. Proper venting
of flue gas is vital to the safe and efficient operation of the range. Problems arising from the intentional
obstruction of the flue will result in voiding of warranty. It is recommended that the flue gases be
ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of 18"
(457 mm) must be maintained. Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods
may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest
edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
OPERATION
The appliance and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning, or
servicing the appliance.
CONTROLS
Range Top Burner Valve
— Allows gas to flow to the top burners. To open valve, turn knob
counterclockwise. To close valve, turn knob clockwise.
Thermostat / Safety Valve
— Regulates the oven temperature and pilot safety thermostat. The
thermostat temperature range is from LOW at approximately 250°F (121°C) to HI at approximately
500°F (260°C). Turn the thermostat counterclockwise to increase temperature and clockwise to
decrease temperature. Oven temperature regulation is the most accurate between 300°F (149°C) and
500°F (260°C).
