Do not installthe range over carpeting unless a sheet of i//4"thick plywood or similar insulator is placedbetween the range and carpeting.Mobile Home - Additional InstallationRequirementsThe installation of this range must conform tothe Manufactured Home Construction and SafetyStandard, Tide 24 CFR,Part 3280 (formerly theFederal Standard for Mobile Home Constructionand Saftey, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When suchstandard is not applicable, use the Standard forManufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or with local codes.In Canada, the installation of this range mustconform with the current standards CAN/CSA-A240-1atest edition, or with local codes.When this range is installed in a mobile home, itmust be secured to the floor during transit. Anymethod of securing the range is adequate aslong as it conforms to the standards listed above.DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCESProvide adequate clearances between therange and adjacent combustible surfaces. Thesedimensions must be met for safe use of yourrange.Allow 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance betweenburners and bottom of unprotected wood ormetal cabinet, or allow a 2/4" (61 cm) minimumwhen bottom of wood or metal cabinet isprotected by no less than Z//4"(6./4am) thickflame-retardant millboard covered with no less46 1/4"18"Hinimum tocabinets oneither sideof the rangeII 30"1-_J_- 1"Hinimurclearan(rightwa1"Ninimum-}_ -clearanceto leftwallTo cabinets Ibelow cooktopland attherange back30"HinimumO"mthan No. 28 MSG sheet metal (.015" [.38 mm]thick), .015" (.38 mm) thick stainless steel, .025"(0.6/4am) aluminum or .020" (0.5 mm) copper.Installation of a listed microwave oven orcooking appliance over the cooktop shallconform to the installation instructions packedwith that appliance.For island installation, maintain 2-1/2" minimumfrom cutout to back edge of countertop and3" minimum from cutout to side edges ofcountertop.Haximumr_depthfor /cabinetsabove /countertops L_1 Front edge! of the rangeIlsidepanelI forwardfromI cabinetII_ 0"To cabinetsbelowcooktopandat therangebackDIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES (CONT.)GAS PIPE AND ELECTRICAL OUTLET LOCATIONSRecommended area for12BY outlet on rear wall andarea for through-the-waltconnection of pipe stub andshut-off valve.

If you want to convert to LPgas, the conversion must be performed by aqualified LP gas installer.The conversion orifices and instructions can befound on back of the range.Keep these instructions and all orifices in caseyou want to convert back to natural gas.Rear of RangeOrifice Strip(locationmay vary)E_ GAS SUPPLYf^ iIAltWARNI N GI Fire Hazard: Do not use aflame to check for gas leaks.[_kWARNI N GI ExplosionHazard:Donotexceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making gasline connections. Overtightening may crackthe pressure regulator resulting in fire orexplosion hazard.Gas Pressure RegulatorYou must use the gas pressure regulator suppliedwith this range. For proper operations the inletpressure to the regulator should be as follows:Natural Gas:Minimum pressure: 6" of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 15" of Water ColumnLP Gas:Minimum pressure: 11" of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 15" of Water ColumnIf you are not sure about the inlet pressurecontact local gas supplier.Shut off the main gas supply valve beforedisconnecting the old range and leave it offuntil the new hook-up has been completed.Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gasappliances when you turn the gas back on.Because hard piping restricts movement ofthe range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector isrecommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.If the hard piping method is used, you mustcarefully align the pipe; the range cannot bemoved after the connection is made.To prevent gas leaks, put pipejoint compound on,or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, allmale (external) pipe threads.A. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas linein an easily accessed location outside of therange. Make sure everyone operating therange knows where and how to shut off thegas supply to the range.B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use abackup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoiddamage.C. Install male 1/2" or 5//4" flare union adapter tothe NPT internal thread of the manual shut-offvalve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valveto keep it from turning.D. Connect flexible metal appliance connectorto the adapter on the range. Position range topermit connection at the shut-off valve.E. When all connections have been made, makesure all range controls are in the off positionand turn on the main gas supply valve.Use a liquid leak detector at alljoints andconnections to check for leaks in the system.When using pressures greater than 1/2 psigto pressure test the gas supply system of theresidence, disconnect the range and individualshut-off valve from the gas supply piping. Whenusing pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressuretest the gas supply system, simply isolate therange from the gas supply system by closing theindividual shut-off valve.When checking for proper operation of theregulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1"greater than the operating (manifold) pressure asgiven on rating label of product.*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPontCONNECTOR HOOKUPs Flow into Range ]Pressure __regulator S >2 I!!• F ex_///b_ "aap_er l_l___conneetor_// L_I (6 ft. max.)0_ AdapterFlexible _ Gas_., _ ,,cIIbq(-- shut-offOption 1/2" or _/q" __q ,l I_JGaspipe LJJ _ valves Flow into Range IEIb°w"_l]_i_-- Elbow_1_-.- Nipple_Ox_!_"-.

Remove the screws holding down rear of theoven bottom.B. Grasp the oven bottom at rear slots on eachside.C. Lift the rear of the oven bottom and slide itback until it clears the lip of the range frameat the front. Then lift bottom up and out.SlotsIII Set Bake function to 350°F. Burner shouldlight in 30 to 90 seconds.III Check Flame Quality.• Flames should have approximately 1" bluecones.• Natural gas should burn with no yellowflames.• LPgas flames have slight yellow tipsAfter warming up, the flame should not liftoff the burner.m Check broil burner using the same method asthe bake burner.OvenADJUST BAKE AND BROILAIR SHUTTER IF NECESSARYTo adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosenthe Phillips head screw and rotate the shutteras needed.A. If the flames are yellow, open shutter morethan the original setting.B. If the flames lift off the burner, close the airshutter more than the original setting.Check flames again and adjust further ifnecessary.

Plug in the unit.B. Measure the height of your countertop at therear of the opening (X).C. Adjust two rear leveling legs so that the rear ofcooktop is at the same height as the counter (Y).D. Slide unit into place.E. Install oven shelves in the oven and position therange where it will be installed.F. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level onone of the oven shelves. Take two readings-withthe level placed diagonally first in one directionand then the other.G. Adjust front leveling legs until the range is level.H. Look under the unit and verify that the rear legis fully engaged with the anti-tip device. If not,remove the unit and adjust the height of therear leg so that it is properly engaged.WHEN ALL HOOKUPS ARECOMPLETEDMake sure all controls are left in the off position.Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilationair to the range is unobstructed.Check that all packing materials and tape havebeen removed. This will include tape on metalpanel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesivetape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic.Failure to remove these materials could result indamage to the appliance once the appliance hasbeen turned on and surfaces have heated.31-i0893-1 i0-13 GE
