WARNING! INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas supplier.

Safety Instructions

Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.

IMPORTANT: Remove all packing material and literature from oven before connecting gas and electrical supply to range.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the oven of this range during a power failure (Electric Ignition models only).

■Have your range installed by a qualified installer.

■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 (ANSI/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°F. without shrinking, warping or discoloring.

Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4″ thick plywood 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°F.

■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 be at 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.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

■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 the 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.
