INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 when installed in the United
States. See Grounding Instructions on page 8.

• 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 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.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which
operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for
use in combination with each other.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO

OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN
ELECTRICAL POWER F AILURE. 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 if the oven thermostat control
was left in the "ON" position.

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

During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with
a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner , then slowly
turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way .

Never leave children alone or

unattended in the area where an appliance is in use.

Teach children 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.

• 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.

• Unlike some gas ranges, the cooktop is not

removable. Do not attempt to remove the cooktop.
