IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this range must conform with

local codes, or in the absence of local codes,

with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

2223.1, latest edition. In Canada, installation

must

conform with the current Natural Gas

Installation Code,

CAN/CGA-B149.l

or the

current Propane Installation Code,

CAN/CGA-

B149.2, and with local codes where applicable.

Ilis

range has been design-certified by the

American Gas Association according to ANSI

Z21.1,

latest edition and Canadian Gas Association

according

t.o

CAN/CGA-l.l

latest edition. As with

any appliance using gas and generating heat,

there are certain safety precautions you should

follow. You will find these precautions in the

Important Safety Instructions in the front of this

book. Read them carefully.

●

Have your range installed by a qualified

installer or service technician.

. Your range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence

of local codes, in accordance with the National

Electrical Code

(NSI/NFPA

70, latest edition).

In Canada, electrical grounding must be in

accordance with the current CSA

C22.1

Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See

Electrical Connections in this section.

. Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

the floor covering can withstand 180” I? without

shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install

the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4”

thick

plywoocl

or similar insulator is placed

between the range and carpeting.

● Make sure the wall coverings around the

range can withstand heat generated by the

range up to 200°

●

Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To

reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the

open flames of operating burners, install a

ventilation hood over the range that projects

forward at least

5“ beyond the front of the cabinets.

. The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Install

above the cooktop with a clearance of not less

than 1/4” between the hood and the underside

of the combustible material or metal cabinet.

The hood must beat least as wide as the

appliance and centered over the appliance.

Clearance between the cooking surface and the

ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE

LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

● If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a

minimum clearance of 30” between the cooking

surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

● If a 30” clearance between cooking surface

and overhead combustible material or metal

cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the

underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with

not less than 1/4” insulating

millboard

covered

with sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick.

● Clearance between the cooking surface and

protected cabinets

MUST NEVER BE LESS

THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from

the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of

adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than

1“ to the plane of the range sides must not be

less than 18”. (See Dimensions and Clearances

illustration in this section.)

● Caution: Items of interest to children should

not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the

backsplash of a range-children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING

;.4

All ranges can tip and injury could

result. To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach an approved

Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See

;.4

Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this

section.) To check if the device is

installed and engaged properly,

carefully tip the range forward. The

Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the

range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged

when you push the range back against the wall.

● For your safety, never use your range for

warming or heating the room. Your oven and

range top are not designed to heat your kitchen.

Top burners should not be operated without

cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result

in fire and damage to your range and will void

your warranty.

● Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

● Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.
