Mobile Home Installation

Mobile Home Installation

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR. Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280); or when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Homes Installations 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI A225.1q/NFPA 501A* or with local codes.

The installation of this range must conform with the current standards CAN/CSA-Z240–latest edition*** or with local codes. When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards listed above.

Note: The metal chassis of the range MUST be earth- grounded in order for the control panel and burner spark ignition to work. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the metal chassis of range is earth-grounded.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

Flame Size: Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive flame is hazardous.

Use of High Flame: When using a high flame, never leave any pans unattended on this heat setting for long periods. Hot oil is particularly hazardous since it can become hot enough to ignite.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the range.

Any openings in the wall, behind the range or the floor under the range must be sealed.

Venting

Never block the vents (air openings of the range). They provide the air inlet and outlet which is necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. The oven vent is located at the rear of the main top.

Type of Gas

Natural and LP Gas (propane). Ranges are factory assembled for natural gas unless otherwise specified and cannot be used with LP Gas without some adjustments. Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified serviceman or installer for the type of gas on which it is to be used. (See Conversion, page 12).

NOTE: In this manual, propane is referred to as LP (liquid petroleum).

Floor Covering

Never install a range over inferior kitchen carpeting, vinyl tile or linoleum. These should be able to withstand at least 175°F without shrinking, warping or discoloring.

Curtains

If your range is near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Do not use long curtains which could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

If You Smell Gas

If this is a new range installation, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Connections can loosen in transportation. If the range connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell.

FINDING A GAS LEAK IS USUALLY NOT A

“DO IT YOURSELF” PROCEDURE.

Some leaks can only be found with the controls in the “on” position exposing the user to serious burns. Never use a match or flame to locate a leak. Turn off the gas to

the range and call a qualified serviceman.

INSTALLING YOUR RANGE

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local building codes.

Power cord installation

The new U.S. revised electrical code states that all new construction must use a FOUR WIRE range power cord. Existing construction may use a three wire range power cord. NOTE: The difference is, a four wire cord has a separate ground. A three wire cord is grounded through the neutral.

Installation, adjustment and service of this range must be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or electrical serviceman. This is necessary to insure proper operation of the range and to avoid the possibility of damage to the range or injury to the users.

WARNING: Be careful when reaching into storage cabinets above range while it is in operation. One might accidentally contact a hot burner when using a hand for support or have one’s clothing come in contact with top burner flame.
