or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel

Gas Code ANS! Z223. I/NFPA .54datest edition.
This range has been design certified by (SA

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 and Care
Guide, read it carefully.

• Be sure your range is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
techn[dan.

• This range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

7B--latest edition. SeeGrounding Instructions.

• The installation of appliances designed for

manufactures (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, tile Standard for Manufactured Home

Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Set ups), ANS! Z225.1 latest edition,

or local codes.

• 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 tile
range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad
or sheet of Y4"(! 0,16 cm) 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 in use.
As children grow, teach them tile 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 chiIdren 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.

All ranges

the oven rack packaging.

2. Provide an adequate Gas Supply

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,!6 cm) water column (I.0 kPa) Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be
connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/

Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions
provided with the kit for converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct tile flow of air for combustion and ventilation.

For proper operation, tile maximum inlet pressure to the

regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of

water column pressure (3.5 kPa). The inlet pressure to
the regulator must be at least I " (.25 kPa) greater than

the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples: If

regulator is set for natural gas 4"(10,!6 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm); if

regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas
10"(25,4cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be

at least 11 "(27,9 cm).

Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted

according to the instructions in step 4.
