IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
InstaUation
of this range must conform with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
2223.1, latest edition. In Canada, initiation
must conform with the current Natural Gas
Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.l or the
current Propane Initiation Code,
CAN/CGA-
B149.2,
and with
lod
codes where applicable.
This
range has been design-certified 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
guide. Read them carefully.
● Have your range installed by a qualfled
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 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°E
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.
● 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
MUST
NE~R
BE
mSS
THAN 24 INCHES.
EXCEPTION:
Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed
with that appliance.
● If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a
minimum clearance of 30” between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
● If 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.
c
Clearance between the cooking surface and
protected cabinets
MUST
NEWR
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.)
●
CA~ON:
Items of interest to children should
not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the
backsplash of a
rang=hildren
climbing on the
range to reach items could
be seriously injured.

WARNING
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
cooktop 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.
