TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

Safety Instructions

Phillips and flat-blade (3/16or smaller) screwdrivers

Pencil and ruler

Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)

Open-end or adjustable wrench

Level

Drill, awl or nail

Pliers

5/16Nut driver

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 natural and LP gases

Flexible metal appliance connector (1/2 I.D.) A 5-foot length is recommended for ease of installation but other lengths are acceptable. Never use an old connector when installing a new range.

Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply line (3/4 or 1/2 NPT x 1/2 I.D.)

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.

Installation 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.
