IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this range must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1—latest edition when installed in the United
States.
This range has been design certified by CSA International.
As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there
are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find
them in the Use & Care Manual, read it carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified installer or service technician.
• This range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No .70—
latest edition when installed in the United States.
See Grounding Instructions on page 5.
• Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make
sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least
90°F above room temperature without shrinking,
warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over
carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of
1/4-inch thick plywood between the range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the
oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower
front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot
while the oven is in operation. This range requires fresh
air for proper burner combustion.
Never leave children alone or unattended
in the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never
leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.
(For Models with Sealed Top Burners)

When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the
surface burners will continue to operate.
During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with
a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then slowly turn
the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.
