Checking for gas leaks
Leak-testing the appliance must be done according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do
not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a brush to spread a soap-and-water solution
around the area you are checking. If there is a gas leak, small bubbles will appear in the
solution. When not sure, call for professional help.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
Important safety instructions
• Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
• Use a dedicated 120-volt, 60-Hz, 20-amp, AC, fused electrical circuit for this range.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Do not plug more than one
appliance into this circuit.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• This product must be grounded. If the range malfunctions grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing a safe path for the current. This range's power cord has
a grounding plug, which must be firmly plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded according to local regulations. If you are not sure your electrical outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a licensed electrician.
• The range is supplied with a 3-pronged grounded plug. This cord must be plugged into
a mating, grounded 3-prong outlet that meets all local codes and ordinances. If codes
permit the use of a separate ground wire, we recommend that a qualified electrician
determine the proper path for this ground wire.
• Electrical service to the range must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, to the National Electrical code/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
• The product owner shall ensure that the proper electrical service is provided for the
product.
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter or an extension
cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug,
power cord, or loose power outlet.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• This product should be installed and
properly grounded by a qualified
installer, as specified in the Installation
Instructions. Adjustments and service
should be performed only by qualified
gas range installer or service technician.
• Do not try to service/modify/replace the product or any part of it unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
• Use only new, flexible connectors when installing the product.
• Make sure the anti-tip device is properly installed. (See the Installation Instructions for
details.)
• Due to the size and weight of the range, have two or more people move the range.
• Remove all tape and packaging materials.
• After unpacking the product, remove all accessories from inside and around it.
(Cautiously handle the heavy grates.)
• Make sure no parts came loose during shipping.
• Make sure the product is correctly installed/adjusted by a qualified service technician
or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) you will use. For the range to use LP gas,
the installer must replace every surface burner orifices with the provided LP orifice
set, and reverse the GPR adapter. These adjustments must be made by a qualified
technician according to manufacturer instructions and local regulations. The qualified
agency performing this work shall be responsible for the gas conversion.
• 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/NFPA.54, latest edition. In Canada,
installation must conform with the current Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the current Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, and with
local codes where applicable. This range has been design-certified by UL according to
ANSI Z21.1/CSA 1.1, latest edition.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
Important safety instructions
• Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range’s weight. Synthetic
flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures without
shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Do not install the range directly over interior kitchen
carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator is placed between the
range and carpeting.
• The range must be installed within easy reach of a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not hang paper blinds on a window near the range; do not hand long curtains that
could be blown over/onto the range.
• For proper ventilation, the range needs sufficient space below and all around the
chassis. Vents in the chassis exhaust heat and fumes so the range can operate properly.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 194 °F (90 °C)
generated by the range.
• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage
above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 30 inches (76.2 cm)
between the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
• This range is for indoor household use
only. Do not install the range outdoors
or anywhere that it will be exposed to
weather/water or wind/ strong drafts.
