A word about GFCI's - GFCI's ore not required or recommended for gas range receptacles. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's)are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI'sin kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker is possible. [] SEAL THE OPENINGS Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed. [] LIGHT THE PILOTS (For models equipped with standing pilots. If the range is an electric ignition model, the burners are ignited by electric ignition which eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.) The range should be installed in its permanent position before any pilots are lit or adjusted. -ACAUTION - Make sure the surface burner control knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to light the pilots. Light the Surface Burner Pilots 1. Raise the cooktop. 2. Light both pilots with a match. 3. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when closing cooktop after lighting pilots. @ NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly constructed or remodeled home or apartment that will be unoccupied for more than a month. Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to be approximately 5/16" tall. A tinge of yellow appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find pilot adjustment is necessary, follow instructions in Step B. 30
