WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to worn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated bg a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances con be minimized bg venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show btouthe location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessar_t.

_;i:,:Have your range installed and properlg

grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be

performed onlg by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

;_i:,:Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet onlg. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt

about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet

replaced with a properly grounded,

three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use

an extension cord with this appliance.

WARNING: NEVERusethis

appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm the room. Doing so may result

in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage (on standing pilot models) and poor

air circulation.

_t_::Besure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should

the packaging material ignite.

;_i:,:Be sure your range is correctlg adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for the tgpe of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use

with either type of gas. See the Installation

of the range section.

WARNING:These adjustments must

be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and all codes and requirements

of the authoritg having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in

serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work

assumes responsibility for the conversion.

_i_,:Be careful when you clean the cooktop

because the area over the pilot (onstanding pilot models) will be hot.

_t_::After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such tgpe

of use. Never install it directlg over interior

kitchen carpeting.

;;):,:Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriouslg burned.

_::Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the oven door, broiler drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it

over, causing severe personal injury.

_::Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited

if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

;_):,_Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range broiler or near a cooktop.

;;):,:Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

;;):,:Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

;_):,_Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner

by covering the pan completely with a

well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-tgpe fire extinguishe[

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available,

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-tgpe fire extinguisher

Flame in the oven can be smothered

completelg by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-tgpe

fire extinguisher

;_):,_Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

_t_:_Never block the vents (air openings)of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet

that are necessary for the range to operate

properlg with correct combustion. Air openings

are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the

bottom of the range under the broiler drawer.

_ CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range-

COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°Fand poultry to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodbome illness.

OVEN

Standaway from the range when openingthe door of a hot oven.Thehot air and steam that escape

cancausebums to hands,face and eyes.

_::Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

_i_,:Keep the oven free from grease buildup. _i_,:Place the oven shelves in the desired aosition

while the oven is cool.

Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavg foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest

position is not designed to slide.

_i:,:Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injurg,

_i:,:Never use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Improper use of foil could start

a fire and result in high carbon monoxide.

WARNING: NEVERcover

ang slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and mag cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Aluminum foil linings mag also trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

_t_:_Do not use gour oven to drg newspapers.

If overheated, theg can catch fire.

;_i:,:Use onlg glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.

;_::,:Alwags remove ang broiler pan from range

as soon as gou finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

;_::,:When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame,

the fat mag ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

;_::,:Make sure ang broiler pan is in place correctlg

to reduce the possibilitg of grease fires.

;_::,:If gou should have a grease fire in a

broiler pan, turn offthe oven control, and keep

the broiler drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

_t_:_For safetg and proper cooking performance,

alwags bake and broil with the oven door closed.

_t::_When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

_t_:_For continuous clean models, do not use oven

cleaners on ang of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can

be identified bg their rough surface finish.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that am unstable or easifg tipped. Select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spiffovers, make sure cookware is large enough

to contain the food properfg. Thiswill both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of

food, since heavy spattering or spiffovers left on range con ignite. Use pans with handles that con be easifg grasped and remain cool.

_;i:,:Always use the LITE position (on electric

ignition models) or the HI position (on standing pilot models) when igniting the top burners

and make sure the burners have ignited.

_t_::Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_;i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_t_:_Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holder

_: When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

_:::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

;_i:,:Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

_t_:_Do not flame foods on the cooktop, If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

;_i:,:Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support

the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which

may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperlg. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

_t_:_Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

_t_:_Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

_t_:_Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

;_i:,:Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats. ;_i:,:Do not leave any items on the cooktop, The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

_t_:_If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowlg,

;_i:,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_t_:_Keepall plasticsaway from the surface

burners.

;;i:,:To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before

attempting to remove them.

_t_::Ifrange islocated near a window, do not hang

longcurtains that could blow overthe surface burnersand create a fire hazard.

;_i:,:If you smell gas, turn offthe gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

SURFACEBURNERS(cont.)

ge.com

_t_::Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

_t_::Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner

models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to

damage and improper operation of the range.

;_):,:When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot

models), gou will detect a faint odor of gas

as gour signal to relight the pilot. When

relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls

are in the off position, and follow instructions

in this book to relight.

_t_::If gou smell gas, and gou have alreadg made

sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use

an open flame to locate a leak.

_t_::Do not place or store items that can melt

or catch fire on the grates, even when the cooktop is not being used.

How to Select Flame Size

Forsafehandling ofcookwore, neverlet the flamesextend up the sidesofthe cookwore.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating isdesired,the flame

sizeon a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.Host foods brown evenly in an

aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith tight- fitting lids when cooking with minimum

amounts of water Cast-Iron: If heatedslowly, most skilletswill

give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Undersome conditions,the

enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's recommendations

for cooking methods. Glass: There are two types of glass

cookware-those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking(saucepans,coffee

and teapots).Glassconducts heat very slowly.

Flameslarger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating

of the cookware and could be hazardous.

HeatproofGlass Ceramk: Can be usedfor either surface or oven cooking.It conducts

heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be

sure itcan be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor

heating properties and isusually combined with copper,aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if

they are usedwith medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Using the oven.

Toovoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before gou turn the oven on.

:t )(: I¸

The oven has 5 shelf positions. It also has a special low shelf

position (R)for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

Before You Begin...

Theshelveshave stop-locks, so that when placed correctlg on the shelf supports

(Athrough E),theg will stop before coming completelg out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the

shelf support.

Oven Control

Your oven is controlled by a single OVEN CONTROL knob.

Itwill normallg take 30-90 seconds before

the flame comes on. After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner

cycles-off completel U,then on with a full flame-to maintain the selected

temperature.

Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

Toreplace, placethe end of the shelf (stop-locks)on the support, tilt up the

front and push the shelf in.

NOTE:Theshelf is not designedto slideout at the speciallow shelf (R)position.

Oven Vent

Youroven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when

cooking in the oven-it is important that the flow of hot air from the ovenand fresh air

to the ovenburner be uninterrupted.

Plastic items on the cooktop may

melt if left too close to the vent. Vent appearance and location vary.

Avoidtouching the vent openings or

nearbg surfaces during oven or broiler

operation-theg mag become hot.

?_;Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop

mog become hot if left too close to the vent.

;;Ji::Do not leave plastic or flammable items on

the cooktop-theg may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.

Power Outage (electric ignition models)

^ CAUTION: notma e

I3,

attempt to operate theelectricignition oven during an electrical power failure.

Theoven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gaswill not flow unless

the glow bar ishot.

If the oven is in usewhen a power failure occurs,the oven bumer shuts off and cannot

be re-lit until power is restored.Thisis because the flow of gas is automaticallg

stopped and will not resume when power isrestored until the glow bar has reached

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven if the recipe callsfor it. Topreheat, setthe oven at the correct

temperature. Preheatingis necessargfor good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,

pastrg and breads.

Forovenswithout a preheatindicator light or tone,preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Donot use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil mag be usedto catch a

spillover bg placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

Asgour oven heats up,the temperature change of the air in the ovenmag cause

water droplets to form on the door glass. Thesedroplets are harmlessand will

evaporate asthe oven continues to heat up.

Bakingresultswill be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible.

Pansshould not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If gou need to use two shelves,

stagger the pans so one is not directlg above the other, and leave approximatelg lZ/2"

Using the oven.

Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of

meat can be broiled.Followthese directions to keep spattering and smoking to a

minimum. ?'ourrange has a compartment below the

oven for broiling.

Both the oven end broiler compartment doors must be CLOSEDduring broiling.

Turn most foods once during cooking (the

exception isthin fillets of fish;oil one side, place that side down on broiler grid and cook

without turning until done).Timefoods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn

food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

[] You can change the distance ofthe food

from the heat source bUpositioning a

broiler pan and grid on one of three shelf positions inthe broiler compartment-

A (bottom of broiler compartment), B

(middle)and C(top).

[] Preheatingthe broiler or oven is not

necessargand can produce poor results.

[] Ifmeat has fat or gristle around the edge,

cut vertical slashesthrough both about 2" apart. If desired,the fat mag be

trimmed, leaving a lager about 1/8" thick.

[] Arrange the food on the grid and position

the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf

because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

?_:Donot allow a film from the cleaner to

remain on the temperature sensing bulb- it could causethe oven to heat improperly. (Thebulb is located at the rear of the oven.)

Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move

the bulb as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

?_:Do not spray any oven cleaner on the

outside oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted

surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Installation Instructions

kWARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) To

check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the

range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg carpeting

or woodwork. Your range, like many other household items, is

heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safet_l

Instructions section,)

Hake sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safet_l Instructions

section.)

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of

the range, behind the kick panel or broiler drawer.

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) and remove any packing material

under it. Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or

drawer. Check to be sure that no range parts have come

loose during shipping,

Installation Instructions

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane},

1.0" of water column. Make sure you are supplying your range with

the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or

propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural

gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4" and !3" of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be

between :!0" and !3" of water column. When checking for proper operation of the

regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least

!" greater than the operating (manifold)

pressure as given above. The pressure regulator located at the inlet of

the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LPgas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line

should have an I.D. of 1/2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,

flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

Never use an old connector when installing a

new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is

made. To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound

on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

[] Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the

gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the

range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

[] Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the

:!/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of regulaton Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting

to avoid damage.

[] Install male !/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to

the NPTinternal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve

to keep it from turning.

[] Connect flexible metal appliance connector

to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

[] When all connections have been made,

make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply

valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the

system.

WARNING - DO NOT USE A FLAME TO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS,

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supplg valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when gou turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement

of the range, the use of a CSA International- certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system

of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply

piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply

isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements

Z20-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected bg a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

Grounding IMPORTANT--(Please read carefullg)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Preferred Method

E_sure proper ground

exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

A word about GFCI's--GFCI's are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's)are devices that sense leakage of current in a

circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected.

These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires

the use of GFCrs in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of

the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional

nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power

Cord will be Disconnected Infrequentlg. An adapter may be used only on a

]_5-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on

a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made

to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter,

available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the

larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

Temporarg Method

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Ensure proper

ground and firm

tqign large connection

prongs/slots before use

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND} PRONG

FROM THE POWER CORD.

CAUTION - Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the

wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Installation Instructions

[] ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS (cont.)

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, alwags hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is verg likelg to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again

been established.

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power

Cord will be Disconnected Frequentlg.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground

terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a

three-prong (grounding) receptacle bg a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safetg Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerlg the Federal Standard for Mobile

Home Construction and Safetg, Title 24, HUD,

Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured

Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and

Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home

installation must be in accordance with the current CANiCSA Z240iiVlH Mobile Home

Installation Code.

[] SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal ang openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

[] LIGHT THE PILOTS

(For models equipped with standing pilots.

If the range is an electric ignition model, the burners are ignited bg electric ignition which eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)
