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. I/NEPA .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 Useand 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. SeeGrounding Instructions. The installation of appliances designed for

manufactures (mobile) home installation must conform with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety

Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the 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

Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set ups), ANSI Z225.1 latest edition,

or local codes.

• 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 Y4" (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. 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.

o All ranges

can tip.

o Injury to

persons could result.

Install anti- tip device

packedwith range.

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, grasp the top

rear edge of the range and carefully tilt it forward

to make sure the range is

anchored.

Do not make any attempt to operate

the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure. Resumption of electric power when OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET controls are in any position other than OFF will result in automatic ignition of the oven or broiler burner. The oven burner and broil burner on your range are lighted by electrical ignition. The oven and broiler cannot be operated in the event of a power failure.

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 whenever the oven is done cooking.

FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:

• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess

spillage. Follow the precleaning instructions in the Use and Care Guide.

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

cooktop.

4. Connect the range to the gas supply

Important: Remove all packing material and literature from range before connecting gas and

electrical supply. To prevent leaks, put pipe

joint sealant on all external

pipe threads. Your regulator is in location

shown below.

Do not allow

regulator to rotate on pipe when tightening fittings.

1. Before Installing the Range

Remove shipping material Remove all tape, shipping and packaging materials and the oven rack packaging.

2. 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) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/ Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions provided with the kit for converting the pressure regulator to LP/Propane use.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm) of

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 V2" or 3A" I.D. (Interior

Diameter)

3. Seal the openings
