Installation Instructions

For initial installation or reinstallation after service.

  1. Location: Ensure level floor with adequate clearance from combustibles.
  2. Gas Connection: Use approved flexible gas connector. Apply pipe compound to male threads only. Test for leaks.
  3. Electrical: Plug into grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not use extension cord.
  4. Anti-Tip Bracket: Must be securely fastened to floor/wall per instructions.
  5. Burner Alignment: Place grates, verify burners are centered under caps.

WARNING! Failure to install anti-tip bracket can result in range tipping, causing injury.

Disassembly Procedures

Step-by-step removal of major assemblies.

  1. Control Panel: Remove two screws at top rear of backsplash. Tilt panel forward and disconnect wiring harnesses.
  2. Cooktop: Turn off gas. Disconnect burner igniter wires. Remove screws securing cooktop to frame. Lift carefully.
  3. Oven Door: Open door fully. Engage hinge locks on both sides. Close door slightly and lift off.
  4. Oven Bottom Panel: Remove screws at front edge. Slide panel out.
  5. Back Panel: Remove all screws around perimeter. Panel may have wiring attached.

Note: Label all wires and take photos during disassembly for reassembly reference.

Electrical System

Wiring diagrams and component testing values.

Main Components: Oven Control Board (Part# WPY310991), Touchpad, Bake Igniter (3.2-3.6 Amps draw), Broil Igniter, Convection Fan Motor, Oven Light, Thermal Fuse (normally closed).

Testing: - Igniter: Measure resistance. Should be 30-110 ohms. Observe for glow when circuit energized. - Thermal Fuse: Check for continuity. Open circuit indicates blown fuse. - Gas Valve Solenoids: Check coil resistance (typically 800-1600 ohms).

Gas System

Burner pressures, orifice sizes, and leak testing.

  1. Manifold Pressure: Natural Gas: 4.0" W.C.; LP Gas: 10.0" W.C.
  2. Orifice Sizes (Natural Gas): Main Burner: #50; Simmer Burner: #54; Oven Burner: As specified on rating plate.
  3. Leak Test: Apply leak detection solution to all connections with gas on. No bubbles should form.
  4. Burner Flame: Should be steady, blue with slight yellow tips. Adjust air shutter if flame is yellow or lifting.

CAUTION! Use only factory-specified orifice kits for fuel conversion.

Control System

Operation and calibration of electronic controls.

Touchpad Calibration: Enter service mode (press BROIL and WARM for 5 seconds). Follow prompts to calibrate touch sensitivity.

Oven Temperature Calibration: In bake mode, press and hold BAKE for 6 seconds. Use +/- keys to adjust offset (-35°F to +35°F).

Control Lockout: Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to enable/disable.

Factory Reset: Disconnect power for 2 minutes to reset control board.
