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/NFPA .54-latest edition.
This range has been design certified by 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 and Care
Guide, 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. See Grounding Instructions.
Before installing the range in an area covered
with linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can

All appliance can tip.

• Injury to persons could result.

@

grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully tilt it foward to make sure the range is

anchored.

• Install anti-tip bracket packed with
your appliance.

See installation Instructions.

To reduce the risk of tipping of the

range, the range must be secured by
properly installed anti-tip bracket(s)
provided with the range. To check if

the bracket(s) is installed properly,

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"
(10,16 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 the 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 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.

Excessiveflame 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.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn

the Surface Control knob to LITE.Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.

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 predeaning instructions in the Use

and Care Guide.
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP

IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the
cooktop.

Cabinet Construction

_ To eliminate the risk of cabinet burns

and fire, do not have cabinet storage space above the
range. If there is cabinet storage space above range,
reduce risk by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7cm) beyond the

bottom of the cabinet.
| Countertop Preparation

• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout
edge of your countertop.

• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay
directly on edge of countertop.
Formed front-edged countertops must have molded
edge shaved flat 3/4" (1.9 cm) from each front corner
of opening (Figure 1).
Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9 cm)
from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened
(Figure 1).

water column pressure (3.5 kPa). The inlet pressure to the
regulator must be at least 1" (.25 kPa) greater than the
regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples: If regulator
is set for natural gas 4"(10,16 cm) manifold pressure, inlet
pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm); if regulator has
been converted for LP/Propane gas 10"(25,4 cm) 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.

The gas supply line should be 1/2"or 3A" I.D. (Interior Dia.)
The gas supply piping can be through the back wall

(Fig. 2, zone 1) or through the floor (Fig. 2, zone 2):
Zone I - Through the Back Wall (7" X 6") - The best
place to have your gas line in is between 1" (2.5 cm) and

8" (20.3cm) from the floor and within 3" (7.6 cm) from
the center line.

Zone 2 - Through the Floor (~2" X 24") - The gas line
can also come through the floor within 12" (30.5 cm)
from the center line against the back wall. In case, you
can remove the "L" shape piece of metal at the bottom
metal portion at the back of the unit. There is absolutely
no problem removing this "L" shape piece of metal, it is
there to protect the gas line especially during transport.

* If the existing cutout width is greater than

30-1/16" (76,4 cm), reduce the 3A" (1.9 cm)
dimension.

Countertop must be level. Place a level on the
countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If the
countertop is not level, the range will not be level.
The oven must be level for satisfactory baking results.
Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of countertop
opening.

Provide an adequate Gas Supply

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)
