8.If installing the range in a mobile home, you must secure the range to the floor. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the “Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,” Page 2.

9.Place rack in oven. Place level on rack, first side to side; then front to back.

If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip bracket. Use 3/8" drive ratchet and channel lock pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until range is level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.

NOTE: Oven must be level for satisfactory baking conditions.

Gas and electrical connection

10.Assemble the flexible connector to the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator connection fitting, using the adapter fittings provided with the flexible connector. Use pipe-joint compound made for use with L.P. gas to seal all pipe thread connections.

14.Test all connections by brushing on an approved non-corrosive leak- detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. If a leak appears, shut off gas supply valve and tighten connections. Then check connections again. Clean all leak-detection solution from gas connections. Close broiler door.

15.Place burners, burner caps and grates on cooktop.

16.Plug power supply cord into grounded electrical outlet.

Check operation

Electronic ignition system.

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface ignitor heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner operates.
