InSTAllATIon SAFETy

InSTRUCTIonS

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
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.

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.

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

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 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. 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 1

″

to the plane of the range sides

must not be less than 18

″

. (See the

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!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners

are properly seated and level.
lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin

burners) and remove any packing material under it.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose

during shipping.
