INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or
property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information,
consult a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas supplier.
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks
and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible 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 qualified
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). In Canada, electrical grounding
must be in accordance with the current CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or
local codes. See Electrical Connections in
this manual.
• Before installing your range on linoleum or any
other synthetic floor covering, make sure the
floor covering can withstand 180°F 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.
• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To
reduce the hazard caused by reaching over
the open flames of operating burners, install a
ventilation hood over the range that projects
forward at least 5" beyond the front of the
cabinets.
• The ventilating hood must be constructed of
sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick. Install
above the cooktop with a clearance of not less
than 1/4" between the hood and the underside
of the combustible material or metal cabinet.
The hood must be at least as wide as the
appliance and centered over the appliance.
Clearance between the cooking surface and
the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER
I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T RU C T I O N S
Read these instructions completely and carefully. Improper
BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop
shall conform to the installation instructions
packed with that appliance.
• If cabinets are placed above the range,
allow a minimum clearance of 30" between
the cooking surface and the bottom of
unprotected cabinets.
• If a 30" clearance between cooking surface
and overhead combustible material or metal
cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the
underside of the cabinets above the cooktop
with not less than 1/4" insulating millboard
covered with sheet metal not less than
0.0122" thick. Clearance between the cooking
surface and protected cabinets MUST NEVER
BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.
• The vertical distance from the plane of the
cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent
overhead cabinets extending closer than 1" to
the plane of the range sides must not be less
than 18". (See the Dimensions and Clearances
illustration in this manual.)
CAUTION:
•
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range—children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
CAUTION:
•
Do not attempt to
operate the oven of this range during a
power failure.
