IMWRTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Instigation of tiis range must conform titi local codes, or in the absence of local codes, titi tie National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI ~23.1, latest edition. h Canada, insMation must conform titi tie current Natural Gas InstaUation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.l or tie current Propane hstiation Code, CAN/CGA- B149.2, and titi lod codes here appfimble.

This range has been design-cert~led by the American Gas Association according to ANSI

221.1, latest edition and Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-l.l latest edition. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions in the Important Safety Instructions in the front of this book. Read them carefully.

Have your range installed by a qualtied installer or service technician.

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 tie 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°R 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° E

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 beat least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface MU~ NQWR BE’

USS ~ 24 INCHES. \ .;, ),, ~ ,, ~; ~, ;<!

. If cabinets are placed above t&e ran~e, allow a i( minimum clearance of 30” between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

E 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 NE~R BE ~SS 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 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.

WARNING

.4

Ml ranges can tip and injury could

 

 

result. To prevent accidental tipping

@of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See

L:Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this

section.) To check if the device is

@ installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The

Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and range top are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
