5.
Remove cardboard shipping base from
under range. Open broiler door. Use a 3/8”
drive ratchet to lower rear leveling legs one-
half turn. Use channel lock pliers to lower front
leveling legs one-half turn.
7.
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.
8.
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 connection D
10.
If a flexible appliance connector is
used, be certain connector is not kinked.

Check that all control knobs are in the
“OFF” position.
12.
Open the manual shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to
move through the gas line.
13.
Use a brush and liquid detergent
to test all gas connections. Bubbles around
connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears,
shut off gas valve controls and tighten
connections. Then check connections again.
Never test for gas leaks with a match or other
flame. Clean all detergent from gas connections.
Close broiler door.
15.
If pilot needs adjusting, remove
burner grates, burners and screws. Lift
cooktop.
Note: There is no cooktop support rod.

Light the burner pilots.
1. Remove burner grates.
2. Place a lit match through the small pilot
holes in the cooktop located between front
and rear burners.
3. After lighting, you must see a pilot flame
in each pilot hole.
Note: The pilot flames should be 1/2” to
5/8” inch high.

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.

Open broiler door. Hold a match to
the opening in the top of the pilot area at the
