IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation ofthisrange mustconformwithlocal codesor,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 certifiedby CSA International. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them in the Use & Care Manual. read it carefully.
Besureyour rangeisinstalled 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 Electrical CodeANSI/NFPA No .70.--
latest edition when installed in the United States.
See GroundingInstructionson page 5.
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 installthe range over
carpetingunless you placean insulatingpad or sheet of
1/4-inchthickplywoodbetweentherangeandcarpeting.
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 surfacesas they may become hot
whiletheoven is inoperation.Thisrange requiresfresh
air for properburnercombustion.
Never leave children alone or unattended
inthe area where an appliance is inuse. Aschildrengrow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never
leavethe oven dooropen when the range isunattended.
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.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe upexcessspillage.Follow
the precleeninginstructionsin the Owner'sGuide. 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 litwith a match. Hold alighted match to the burner, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.

g) Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the renge and
use a liquid leak detector at all joints and conduits to check for leaks in the system.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure Disconnectthe range and its individualshut-offvalve from thegas supply piping system duringany pressuretestingof
that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water columnpressure (approximately 1/2"psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve dudng
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14"of water column pressure
(approximately 1/2" psig).
Ifit should be necessary to check the manifoldgas pressure,
connect manometer (water gauge) orother pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter ofapproximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight
over orifice. Turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at leasttwo (2) other
top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure.
The gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water column. When propedy adjusted for LP/Propane Gas the
manifold pressure is 10".
