Installation Safety Instructions
Warning!
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or
additional information, consult a qualifi 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. Always use NEW fl exible
connectors when installing a gas appliance.
Important
Remove all packing material and literature from
oven before connecting gas and electrical supply to
range.
• Have your range installed by a qualifi ed 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).
• Before installing your range on linoleum or
any other synthetic fl oor covering, make sure
the fl oor covering can withstand 180°F (80°C)
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 (90°C).
• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. There
must be a gap of at least 31½’’ (80cm) between
the top of the range and any combustible surface
above it.
If a ventilating hood is installed above the range
follow the installation instructions supplied with
the hood.
Caution
Items of interest to children should not be stored
above a range - children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Converting to Propane Gas
This appliance is supplied set for Natural gas.
A conversion kit for Propane gas is supplied with
the range.
If the appliance is to be converted this must be
done before installation. The conversion must be
performed by a qualifi ed LP gas installer. See the
Conversion section at the back of this installation
manual for more details.
Location guidelines
Do not locate the range where it may be subject
to strong drafts. Any openings in the fl oor 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
obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range is heavy and can settle into soft fl oor
coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
Use care when moving the range on this type of
fl ooring. It is recommended that the following
simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to
protect your fl oor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the fl oor
covering ends at the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher than the fl oor
covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your fl oor covering will
withstand 180°F (80°C). (See the Installation Safety
Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F
(90°C)) by the range. (See the Installation Safety
Instructions section.)
Dimensions and clearances
Provide adequate clearances between the
range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These
dimensions must be met for safe use of your
range. The location of the electrical outlet and
pipe opening (see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet
Locations) may be adjusted to meet specifi c
requirements.
