• The ventilating hood must be constructed of
sheet metal not less than 0.0122² thick. Install
above the cooktop with a clearance of not less
than 1/4² between the hood and the underside
of the combustible material or metal cabinet.
The hood must be at least as wide as the
appliance and centered over the appliance.
Clearance between the cooking surface and the
ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE
LESS 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 30² between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
• If a 30² 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 1/4² insulating millboard covered
with sheet metal not less than 0.0122² thick.
• Clearance between the cooking surface and
protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS
THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from
the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of
adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than
1² to the plane of the range sides must not be
less than 18². (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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this range must conform with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, latest edition. In Canada, installation
must conform with the current Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the
current Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-
B149.2, and with local codes where applicable.
This range has been design-certified by the
American Gas Association according to ANSI
Z21.1, 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 qualified
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°F. without
shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install
the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4²
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 5² beyond the front of the cabinets.
