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. When installed in Canada, installation must conform
with CAN/CGA-B 149.1 and CAN/CGA-B 149.2.
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 Owner's 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 .701latest edition
when installed in the United States. When installed in
Canada, this range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1. See Grounding Instructions on page 5 and
6.
The installation of appliances desig ned for manufactu red
(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 (Manufcatured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-ups), ANSI Z225.1/
NFPA 501A--latest edition, or with local codes when

installation must conform with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
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
bumercombustion.
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.
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.
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.
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 precleaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.
Before Proceeding:
Your range has been preset at the factory for use with Natural
or LP/Propane gas. The factory orifice setting is indicated on
the serial plate. Be sure the range is adjusted for proper type
gas before continuing. See instructions for "Gas Conversion"
if adjustments are necessary.
rl 'L'_'f-'_a_'il_'[cl D O 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 ignitor will automatically re-ignite the oven
burner when 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.
Note: On pilot models, the surface and oven burners will
operate normally during a power outage.
