Important Note to the Consumer Keep these instructions with your owner's guide for future

reference.

I RTANT SAFETY

* 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. 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 such standard is not applicable, the

Standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups),

ANSI Z225.1/NFPA 501A-latest edition, or with local codes.

Tip Over Hazard

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Verify the anti-tip device has been installed to floor or wall.

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/32°C 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" (6.4 mm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

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

door(s) or drawer 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 units, cabinet storage space above the units

should be avoided. 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.

* Save 4 shipping bolts from range packaging to use

as leveling legs for range.

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.

Cabinet Construction

Range Installation

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by

reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the range should be avoided. If cabinet

storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a

minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

Center Line of

Range

Follow instructions for

the type of installation you have

Figure 9

If range will be installed with a cabinet on both sides, mark center of cabinet opening on floor. If back

of range will not be flush with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned

against the wall), mark on the floor where the back edge of the range will be. Place the template on the floor aligning the template centerline with the centerline

marked in the cabinet opening. Place the back edge of the template against the rear wall or the line marked for

the rear of the range.

If range will be installed with a cabinet on one side only, move the range into final position. Mark on

the floor along the side of the range that is not against the cabinet. If back of range will not be flush with

the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned against the wall), mark on the

floor where the back edge of the range will be. Place the template on the floor and align side of template with the

line marked on the floor. Align the back of the template with the rear wall or the line marked for the rear of the

range. If range will not be installed against a cabinet, move

range into final position. Mark on the floor along both sides of the range. If back of range will not be flush

with the wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned against the wall), mark on the

floor where the back edge of the range will be. Place the template on the floor and align sides of template with the lines marked on the floor. Align the back of the template

with the rear wall or the line marked for the rear of the range.

When unpacking the range, do not

discard the 4 shipping bolts. These are to be replaced on the unit for use as leveling legs and height adjustments.

NOTE:

1. The back of the range may be installed directly against the rear wall of the structure.

2. These ranges conform to U.L. requirements for "0" spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls above the countertop level. However, to reduce possible scorching of vertical walls and to minimize potential fire hazards under abnormal surface unit use conditions such as high heat or no pans, a minimum of 2" (5.1 cm) spacing should be provided on both sides of the cooktop.

Preparation

1. Put on safety glasses and gloves. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside the oven. Remove shipping materials, tape and protective film from the range.

2. Take 4 cardboard corners from the carton. Stack one on top of another. Repeat with other 2 corners.

Place corners lengthwise on the floor in back of the range to support range.

Excessive Weight Hazard
