Installation safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
•
Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a
qualified installer
, in accordance
with the installation instructions. Any
adjustment and service should be performed
only by qualified gas range installers or service
technicians.
• Do not attempt
to service, modify, or replace your range or any part of your
range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
•
Always use new flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
Do not use
old flexible connectors.
• Make sure
the Anti-Tip device is properly installed on the range. See the
installation instructions for more information.
•
Due to the size and weight of the range, have
two or more people
move the
range.
• Remove
all tape and packaging materials.
• Remove
all accessories from the cooktop, oven, and/or lower drawer. Grates and
griddles are heavy. Use caution when handling them.
• Make sure
no parts came loose during shipping. Do not install in an area exposed
to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
• Make sure
your range is correctly installed and adjusted by a qualified service
technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) you will use. For your
range to utilize LP gas, the installer must replace the 5 surface burner orifices
and 2 oven orifices with the provided LP orifice set, and reverse the GPR adapter.
These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. The qualified agency performing this work assumes
the gas conversion responsibility.

Location safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
•
This range is for indoor, household use only.
Do not install
the range in areas exposed to the
weather and/or water.
• Do not install
the range in a place which is
exposed to a strong draft.
•
Select a level, well-constructed floor that can
support the range’s weight. Synthetic flooring,
such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C)
temperatures without shrinking, warping, or
discoloring.
Do not install
the range directly
over interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of
¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator is placed
between the range and carpeting.
•
Select a location where a grounded, 3-prong outlet is easily accessible.
•
If the range is located near a window,
do not hang
long curtains or paper blinds
on that window.
• Do not block or cover
the vents (air openings) located at the rear of the range
and at the top and bottom of the door. The vents allow for air circulation that is
necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Blocking
or covering the vents may cause incorrect combustion which could result in gas
leaks and fire.
