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/NFPA .54-latest edition.
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 and Care
Guide, 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. See Grounding Instructions.
• The installation of appliances designed for manufactures
(mobile) home installation must conform with
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the Federal Standard
for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD
(part 280)] or when such standard is not applicable,
the Standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set ups),
ANSI Z225.1 latest edition, or local codes.
• Air curtain or other overhead hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall
not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
• All ranges can
tip.
• Injury to
persons could
result.
• Install anti-tip
device packed
with range.
To reduce the risk of tipping of
the range, the range must be

range is anchored.
tested and listen by an independent test laboratory
for use in combination with each other.
• 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 ¼"
(10,16 cm) 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.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the
doors or drawers of this range can result in serious
injuries and can also cause damage to the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above the range. Children could be
seriously burned climbing on the range to reach items.
• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This
creates a potentially hazardous situation.
• Never use your range for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
Do not make any attempt to operate
the electric ignition oven during an electrical power
failure. Resumption of electric power when OVEN TEMP
and OVEN SET controls are in any position other than
OFF will result in automatic ignition of the oven or broiler
burner. The oven burner and broil burner on your
range are lighted by electrical ignition. The oven
and broiler cannot be operated in the event of a
power failure.
