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

When installed in a manufactured (mobile) home, installation
must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerlythe 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 Installations, ANSl/NCSBCS
A225.1, or with local codes.

This appliance has been design certified by CSA International.
As with any appliance using gas andgenerating heat, there are
certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them
in the Use & Care Manual, read it carefully.

• 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 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 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 flowof combustion air atthe 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

burnercombustion.

• Aircurtain orotheroverhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward ai rflow onto a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been desgined, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with

each other.

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 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 up excess spillage. Follow
the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS
NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove thecooktop.

_Special instructions for appliances installed in the State of

Massachusetts: This appliance can only be installed in the
State of Massachusetts by a Massachusetts licensed
plumber or gas fitter. When using a flexible gas connector, it

must not exceed 3 feet (36 inches) in length. A "T" handle

type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply

line to this appliance.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO

OPERATETH E ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN

ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL OVEN

CONTROLS TO "OFF" iN THE EVENT OF A POWER

FAILURE.

The electric ignito rwill 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.

Before Starting

Tools You Will Need

For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:

• Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers

• 5/16"NutdriverorFlatHeadScrewDriver_[:O_=

• 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:

• Phillips head _ and
blade-type screwdrivers

Additional Materials You Will Need

• Gas line shut-off valve

• Pipe joint sealant

• A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4"
or 1/2"1.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 the Template - (Bracket may
be located on either the left or right side of the appliance. Use
the information below to locate the bracket if template is not
available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the
range will be located. If rear of appliance is against the wall or
no further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you may use
the wall or floor mount method, ifmolding isinstalledand does
not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove
molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate
the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against
the rear wall and the side edge of template on the mark made
referencing the side of the appliance. Place bracket on top of
template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. if rear
ofappliance isfurther than 1-1/4" from the wall when installed,

attach bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket
by placing back edge of the template where the rear of the

range will be located. Mark the location of the screw holes,
shown in template.

B=

Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located, if bracket is to be

mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20°
downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry
or ceramic floors, drill a 5/32" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The
screws provided may be used in wood orconcrete material.

Use a 5/16" nut-driveror flat head screwd riverto secure the
bracket in place.

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

conduit for connection ofthe range.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti=Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the range must
be secu red to the floor by properly installedanti-tip bracket and
screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip
bracket will allow the range to tip over ifexcessive weight is
placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious

injurymight result from spilled hot liquids or from the appliance
itself.

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

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall,
make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are
secured inwood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.
