INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions completely and carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can result in electrical
shock,
fi
re, serious injury, or death.
•
Improper installation, ajustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this
manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a quali
fi
ed installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or
the gas supplier.
•
Never reuse old
fl
exible connectors. The use of old
fl
exible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Al-
ways use
NEW
fl
exible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
•
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer instructions.
•
Remove all packing material and literature from oven before connecting gas and electrical supply to range.
•
Do not attempt to operate the oven of this range during a power failure (Electric Ignition Models only).
•
Have your range installed by a quali
fi
ed installer.
•
Your range must be electrically grounded accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).
•
Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic
fl
oor covering, make sure the
fl
oor covering can with-
stand 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 cabinets,
fl
oor, and wall coveringsaround 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
fl
ames 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 be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance betwen the cooking
surface and the ventilation hood surface
must never be less than 24”.
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 “ betwen the cooking surface and the bot-
tom of unprotected cabinets.
•
If a 30” clearance between cooking surface and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be main-
tained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4” insulating miliboard covered
with sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Clearance between the cooking surface and protected cabinets
MUST
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24”.
•
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 the Dimensions and Clearances Illustra-
tion in this section).
