INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Ventilation requirement
It is recommended that these ranges be installed in
conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood.
•
Install a hood with at least 1200 CFM above a 48”
wide range.
Due to the high heat capacity of this unit, particular
attention should be paid to the hood and ductwork
installation to assure it meets local building code.
WArnInG
Do not install this product with an air curtain hood
or other range hood that operates by blowing air
down on the cooktop. This airflow may interfere
with operation of the gas burners resulting in fire
or explosion hazard.
See below for the minimum clearance from the
cooking surface to any horizontal surface above
the range. Failure to observe this clearance may
result in a fire hazard.
•
Installations without a hood require a 48"
minimum distance to any overhead combustible
surface.
•
Installations with custom hoods containing
exposed horizontal combustible surfaces
require a hood with at least 1200 CFM at least
36" above the cooking surface.
•
For other hood installations, refer to the
installation instructions included with the hood
for specific clearances.
Proper Location
•
The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be
placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown
in “Install Clearance” are required. The same
clearances apply to island installations, except for
overhead cabinets, which must have a space wide
enough to accept the flared island hood.
•
The range should not be recessed into the cabinets
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven. (see
“Product Dimensions and Clearances”)
•
The maximum depth of overhead cabinets
installed on either side of the hood is 13”(330 mm).
Wall cabinets must be 18” (457 mm) above the
countertop.
•
There is a 36'' (914 mm) minimum clearance
required between the top of the cooking surface
and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 30''
(762 mm) clearance can be used when the bottom
of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not
less than 1/4'' (6 mm) of a flame retardant material
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015'' (0.38 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024'' (0.61
mm) aluminum, or 0.02'' (0.51 mm) thick copper.
•
Non-combustible surfaces: as defined in 'National
Fuel Gas Code'(ANSI Z223.1, Current Edition).
Clearances from non-combustible materials are not
part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified
by CSA. Clearances of less than 36 inches (914.4
mm) must be approved by the local codes and/or
by the local authority having jurisdiction.
CAUTIOn
•
Avoid placing cabinets above the range.
To
minimize the hazard caused by reaching over
the open flames of operating burners, install a
ventilation hood over the range that projects
forward at least five inches beyond the front of
the cabinets.
•
Do not locate your range where it may be
subject to strong drafts.
Any openings in the
floor or wall behind the range should be sealed.
Make sure the openings around the base of
the range that supply fresh air for combustion
and ventilation are not blocked by carpeting or
woodwork.
•
This range is for indoor, household use
only.
•
If the range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains or paper blinds on that
window.
•
Make sure wall covering, countertop and
cabinets around the range can withstand
the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the
range.
Discoloration, delamination or melting
may occur. This range has been designed to
comply with the maximum allowable wood
cabinet temperature of 194 °F.
•
Before installing the range in an area
covered with linoleum or other synthetic
floor covering, make sure the floor covering
can withstand temperatures of at least
160 °F.
•
Use an insulated pad or
1
/
4
in. (640 mm)
plywood under the range if installing the
range over carpeting.
When the floor covering ends at the front of the
range, the area that the range will be installed on
should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the
range to be moved for cleaning and servicing, as well
as provide proper air flow to the range.
