Installation of this range must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54 or CAN/ACG‑B149.1 and CAN/ACG‑B149.2.

This range has been design certified by CSA international. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them in the Use and Care Guide, read it carefully.

•Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

•This range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70— latest edition in United States or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 in Canada.

•The installation of appliances designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the Federal

Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or when such standard

•Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand the heat generated by the range.

•Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least 90°F above room temperature without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼" (10,16 cm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot while the oven is in operation. This range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion.

Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and can also cause damage to the range.
