Thisrange has been design-certied by the AmericanGasAssociationaccordingto ANSI221.1, latest edition and Canadian Gas Association according to CANICGA-1.Ilatest edition. As with any applianceusing gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow.Youwillfind these precautions in the Important Safety Instructions in the front of this book. Read them carefully.

~Have your range installed by a qua~ed installer or service technician.

~Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°R without shrinking, warpiiig 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.

sMake sure the wall coverings around the range can withstid heat generated by the range up to 200°R

~Avoidplacing 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 Wbeyondthe tiont ofthe 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 114”between the hood and the underside of the combustiblematerial or metal cabinet. The hood must beat least as wide as the appfianceand centered over the appliance. Clearance between the coohg surface and the ventilationhood stice
