Important Safety Instructions - Kenmore 30" DUAL FUEL RANGE Installation Instructions Manual

Important Note to the Consumer
• Keep these instructions with your Use & Care Guide for future reference.
• As when using any appliance generating heat, there are certain safety
precautions you should follow. These are listed in the Use & Care Guide,
read it carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer
or service technician.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand the heat
generated by the range.
• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface elements or burners, cabinet
storage space directly above the range should be avoided.
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--1atest edition when
installed in the United States.
When installed in a manufactured (mobile) home, installation must conform with
the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, 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 Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1, or with local codes.
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 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 when installed in the United States. See
"Grounding Instructions" on page 4 in the Installation Steps.
• 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.
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 forwarming or heating the room. Prolonged use ofthe
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.
• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a programmable timing
operation.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-cleaning the oven.
Wipe up excess spillage. Follow the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care
Guide.
• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do
not attempt to remove the cooktop.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC
IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL
OVEN CONTROLS TO "OFF" IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE.
The electric ignitorwill automatically re-ignite the oven burnerwhen power resumes
if the oven thermostat control was left in the "ON" position.
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.
Tools You Will Need (Wear safety glasses when using tools):
For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:
• Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers (Fig. 5).
• 1/4" and 5/16" Nutdriver or flat head screwdriver (Fig. 6).
• Electric drill & 1/8" dia. bit (5/32" Masonry drill bit if installing in concrete (Fig. 7).
• Level (Fig. 22).
For gas supply connection:
• Pipe wrench (Fig. 8).
For burner flame adjustment:
• Phillips head and small blade-type screwdrivers (Figs. 9 & 10).
For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):
• Open end wrench - 1/2" (Fig. 11 ).
Additional Materials You Will or May Need:
• Anti-Tip Template (Fig. 12), Anti-Tip bracket, 2 mounting screws (bracket and
screws are supplied with range - Fig. 13) and masking tape (Fig. 14).
• Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas (Fig. 15).
• Gas line manual shut-off valve (Fig. 16).
• 1/2" NPT 90 ° black pipe elbow (Fig. 17).
• A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) must be
design certified by CSA International (Fig. 18). Because solid pipe restricts
moving the range we recommend using a new flexible conduit (48" MAXIMUM
LENGTH)for each new installation and additional reinstallations.
• Always use the (2) new flare adapters (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with
the new flexible appliance conduit for connection of the range (Fig. 19).
• Power cord (40/50 ampere rated Cord Kit - 48" MAXIMUM LENGTH - Fig. 20).
• 4 or 3 wire, 40/50 ampere rated wall receptacle and mounting plate (Fig. 21 ).
