RANGE SAFETY

WARNING: For your safety, the information in these instructions must be followed to
minimize the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,
or death.

–

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.

–

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•

Do not try to light any appliance.

•

Do not touch any electrical switch; Do not use any phone in your building.

•

Clear the room, building, or area of all occupations.

•

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.

•

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

–

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

follow

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.

Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier.

If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not install a ventilation system that blows air downward toward this gas cooking appliance. This type of
ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with this gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or
unintended operation.

Venting Requirements

A

B

A

B

IMPORTANT: This range must be exhausted outdoors unless
you are using ductless venting. See the “Venting Methods”
section.

■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other

enclosed area.

■ Use an approved vent cap for proper performance. If an

alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain the cap size
is not reduced and that it has a backdraft damper.

■ Vent system must terminate to the outside unless you are

using a ductless vent kit.

■ Use a 5" (12.7 cm) or 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent

or a 3¼" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent.

■ Rigid metal vent is recommended. For best performance,

do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

■ If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must

be constructed.

■ The size of the vent should be uniform.

■ The vent system must have a damper.

■ Seal all joints in the vent system.

■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around

the cap.

■ Determine which venting method is best for your

application.

For Best Performance:

■ Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum

aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe ttings can reduce
airow. For external venting, exible metal vent is not
recommended.

NOTES:

■ For external venting, exible metal vent is not

recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure
and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

■ Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.

■ Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel

or 26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes.
This reduction is based on information in the International
Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).

■ Avoid installing 2 elbows together.

■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.

■ Make sure there is a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of straight

vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence
that reduces airow.

■ Do not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a 6" (15.2 cm)

or 3¼" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.

■ Do not reduce to a 5" (12.7 cm) system after using

a 6" (15.2 cm) or 3¼" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) ttings.

■ Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps

may restrict airow.

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.

The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is 60 ft
(18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce
recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional backdraft damper should be installed to
minimize backward cold air ow and a thermal break installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part
of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold
air side of the thermal break.

Order Part Number 708786A for a 5" (12.7 cm) thermal break.
Order Part Number 715557A for a 6" (15.2 cm) thermal break.
To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use

and Care Guide.

Makeup Air

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems when using ventilation systems greater than specied
CFM of air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale
to locale.

Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements
in your area.

Venting Methods

Common venting methods are shown for a downdraft range.
The downdraft range may be vented through the wall or oor.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground range.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and
ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

1 Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02169-7471

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualied electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify
the power supply cord plug. If it will not t the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Electrical Connection

Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check
existing electrical supply and gas supply. See “Gas Supply
Requirements” section.

It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by
a licensed, qualied electrical installer.

■ Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage

and frequency as specied on the model/serial/rating plate.
The model/serial/rating plate is located on the right vertical
surface of the oven door frame. Refer to the illustrations
in the “Product Dimensions” section of the “Location
Requirements” section.

■ This range is manufactured with a 4-wire power supply

cord rated at 240 V, 40 A, rated at 194°F (90°C)
and investigated for use with this range.

■ When a 4-wire, single phase 240 V, 60 Hz, AC only

electrical supply is available, a 40 A minimum circuit
protection is required on 30" (76.2 cm) ranges, fused
on both sides of the line.

■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

■ This range is equipped with a UL or CSA International

Certied Power Cord intended to be plugged into
a standard 14-50R wall receptacle. Be sure the wall
receptacle is within reach of range’s nal location.

■ Do not use an extension cord.
