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--1atest edition when installed in the United
States.

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. Youwill find
them in the Use & Care Manual, read itcarefully.

• Besureyour rangeis installed andgrounded 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 ElectricalCode ANSI/NFPA No .70--

latest edition when installed in the United States.
See Grounding Instructionson page 5.

• Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleu mor 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 net installthe range over

carpeting unless you place an insulating pad orsheet 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 burner combustion.

Never leave children alone or unattended

in the area where an appliance is inuse. Aschildrengrow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never
leave the oven door open whenthe range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors

ordrawers ofthis 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. Childrencouldbe seriously
burnedclimbing on the range toreach 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 usethe oven as a storage space. Thiscreates
a potentially hazardoussituation,

• 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 orfires couldresult.

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 upexcessspillage.Follow

the precleaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.

• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS

NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the
cooktop.

DO 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 ifthe oven thermostat control
was left in the "ON" position.

When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the
surface burners will continue to operate.

Duringa power outage, the surface burners can be lit with
amatch. Hold alighted matchto the burner,then slowly turn

the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when

lighting burners this way.

Before Starting

Tools You Will Need

For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:

Adjustablewrench orchannel lockpliers

5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screw Driver

• Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit (5/32" Masonry Drill
Bit if installing in concrete)

For gas supply connection:

Pipe wrench _

For burner flame adjustment:

Phillipshead _ and
blade-typescrewdrivers

For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):

• Open end wrench - 1/2"

Additional Materials You Will Need

• Gas line shut-off valve _,'_
Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas

• A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4"
or 1/2"I.D.) must be design certified byCSA International.

Because solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using a new flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot
length) for each new installation and additional

reinstallations.

A.

Locate the Bracket Using theTemplate- (Bracketmay

S.

Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8"pilot
holewhere screws are to be located. Ifbracket is tobe

downwardangle. If bracket isto be mountedtomasonry

or ceramic floors,drill a 5/32" pilot hole1-3/4" deep. The
screws provided may be used in wood or concrete

material. Usea5/16" nut-driver orflat head screwdriver

to secure the bracket in place.

• Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x
3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible appliance
conduit for connection of the range.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and

screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip
bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is
placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious

injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range
itself.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed tothe wall,

make surethat screws completely penetrate dry wall and are
secured inwood ormetal. When fastening to thefloor or wall,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.
