properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70mlatest edition in United States or with CSA

in Canada.
• The installation of appliances designed for
manufactured (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

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range.
• 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"
(0,6 cm) thick plywood between the range and
carpeting.
• 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.
Tip Over Hazard
• Achild or adult can tip the range and
be killed.
• Verify the anti-tip device has been
installed to floor or wall as per
installation instructions.
• Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged to floor or
wall when the range is moved.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device
in place and engaged.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or serious burns to children and adults.
To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed
properly, use both arms and grasp
the rear edge of range back. Carefully
attempt to tilt range forward. When
properly installed, the range should not
tilt forward.
Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions
supplied with your range for proper installation.
