~- Iis range has been design-certified by the
.herican Gas Association according to WSI
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 book. Read them caretilly.
~ 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 (~SI/NFPA 70, latest edition).
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 114-
inch 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°R
i ~Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To
reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the
open flames of operating burners, install a
IVentilationhood over the range that projects
forward at least 5 inches beyond the front of the
cabinets.
~ The ventilating hood must be constructed of
sheet metal not less than 0.0122 inch thick (No.
2S U.S. Standard gauge). lnstill above the
cooking top with a clearance of not less than 1/4
inch between the hood and the underside of the
combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood
nlust be at least as wide as the appliance and
centered over the appliance. Clearance between
the cooki~lg surface and the ventilation hood
surface ~ti~~ NRWR BE LESS MV 24
INCHES.
~ If cabinets are placed above t-l~erange, allow
a milliml.]nl clearance of 30 inches between
the cool<ing surface and the bottom of
un]~rotec~ed cabinets.
* Ha 30-inch clearance between cooking surface
and overhead combustible matetial or metal
cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the
underside of the cabinets above the cooking top
with not less than l/4-inch insulating millboard
covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122inch
thick (No. 28 U.S. Standard gauge).
@Clearance between the cooking surface and
protected cabinets MUST NmR BE USS
m 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from
the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of
adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than
I inch to the plane ofthe range sides must not be
less than 18 inches. (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.
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 Installing the Anti-’lp
Device in this section.) To
check ifthe deviceis
installed and engaged
properly, carefullytip the
range forward. The Anti~~Ip
device should engage and
prevent the range from
tipping over.
Ifyou pullthe range out from the wallfor any
reason, make sure the Anti-T~pdeviceis engaged
when you push the range back against the wall.
