MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you’ll find the model
and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of
the range, behind the storage drawer or kick panel.

and 6 mm (1/4″)
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED
• Gas line shut-off valve.
• Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread
tape with Teflon* that resists action of butane gas.
• Flexible metal appliance connector [1.3 cm
(1/2″) I.D.]. A 1.5 m (5′) length is recommended
for ease of installation but other lengths are
acceptable. Never use an old connector when
installing a new range.

PREPARATION
• Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the
cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)
and remove any packing material under it. Make
sure the standard twin burners are properly
seated and level.
• Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
• Check to be sure that no range parts have
come loose during shipping.
GENERAL
• See Dimensions and Clearances in this section
for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. These
dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.
The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening
(see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may
be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
• The range may be placed with 0 cm (0″)
clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls
of the range.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject
to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall
behind the range should be sealed. Make sure
the openings around the base of the range that
supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation
are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care
when moving the range on this type of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect
your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends
at the front of the range, the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with plywood to
the same level or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering
will withstand 82°C. (180°F.). (See the Important
Safety Instructions section of the Installation
Instructions.)
KITCHEN CABINETS
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated [up to
93°C. (200°F.)] by the range. (See the Important
Safety Instructions section of the Installation
Instructions.)
