SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid personal injury or property damage, please read and follow these important safety precautions.
1. Before any maintenance or repairs are performed, disconnect the appliance from the electric supply.
2. Your appliance should be installed by a qualified gas installation technician. Have the technician show you the
exact location of the gas shutoff valve on the incoming gas line so you know how to turn off the gas if necessary.
3. In the event of a power failure, do not attempt to operate the appliance or light any of the burners. This is a gas
fired appliance that employs electrical components such as the ignition and safety devices.
4. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically instructed to do so by this manual.
In-warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.
5. Do not store flammable materials on or near the appliance. Keep the appliance area clean and free of combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. A check before each use to determine that no
hazardous materials are in the area is recommended.
6. The push-to-turn control knobs on this appliance are designed to be child-safe, however, not a guarantee of safe
operation. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the kitchen while the appliance is in use.
7. This appliance should not be operated without a properly sized and operational ventilation hood.
8. The ventilation and flue ways of this appliance must remain unobstructed at all times.
9. Additional care should be exercised if your appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. During heavy or continued use
this shelf may become hot. Do not place combustible materials or plastics on this shelf.
10. Do not store items of interest to children above the appliance. Children, as well as adults, should never be allowed
to sit, stand, or climb on any part of the appliance. Serious injury may occur.
11. Never leave the appliance unattended during use. Boil-overs may occur, causing spills which may ignite.
12. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. It is recommended you purchase a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher for your home. Store it in close proximity to your appliance.
13. If you are flaming liquor or other spirits, and you're appliance is installed under a vent hood, TURN THE FAN OFF.
The draft created could cause the flames to spread out of control.

potholders to touch hot burner areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky material as a potholder.
16. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of any pot or pan should be
positioned so that it does not extend over adjacent burners or the front of the appliance.

SITE PREPARATION
This appliance has been designed to be installed directly against rear walls and side base cabinets. It cannot be
installed directly against tall side cabinets, side walls, tall appliances or base cabinets extending beyond 24 inches
[610 mm].
Side trims must be at least 11/16 inch [17.5 mm] above the adjoining counter top surfaces.
Any openings in the back wall or the floor of the installation site must be sealed.
Each gas appliance shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment to permit access to
the appliance. Such access and clearance is necessary for cleaning and servicing.
Due to its size and weight, a rolling lift jack, air sled or pallet jack should be used to move the appliance into position.
Do not push against the edges or sides of any appliance in an attempt to slide it into position. Although all sharp
metal parts are de-burred during the manufacturing process, serious injury could occur if the appliance were to
move suddenly while being positioned. We recommend you use gloves during the installation process.
Do not use the kick panel or oven door handle to push or pull the appliance into position.
For optimum performance the appliance should be leveled during installation. A carpenter-type level should be
placed on the unit three ways: side to side, front to back, and diagonally.
Appliances on bullet legs may be leveled by screwing the various leg assemblies in or out. If the appliance is
installed in an island or cabinet cut-out, the edges should be shimmed with small metal coupons.
Any opening in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range should be sealed.
