package for this range.

• 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 & Care
Guide, read it carefully.

• Special instructions for appliances installed in the
State of Massachusetts: This appliance can only be
installed in the State of Massachusetts by a Massa-
chusetts 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.

• 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 7-9 in the Installation
Steps.

• 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 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.

• 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.

Anti-tip installation

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING!

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must
be secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket
and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the
anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive

weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon

it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or

from the range itself.

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

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 in wood or metal. When fastening to the
floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing.
