must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, 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 Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS
A225.1, or with local codes.

This appliance has been design certified by CSA International.
Aswith any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are
certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them
in the Use & Care Manual, read it carefully.

• Be sure your range isinstalled 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 5.

• 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 airat 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.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward airflow onto a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been desgined, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with

each other.

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 inserious 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.

• 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 cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

Additional Materials You Will Need

• Gas line shut-offvalve _:_:_.

• Pipe joint sealant

A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPTx 3/4"
or 1/2" I.D.) must be design certified byCSA International.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using a new flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot
length) for each new installation and additional

reinstallations.

A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template - (Bracket may
be located on either the left or right side of the appliance. Use
the information below to locate the bracket if template is not
available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the
rangewill be located. If rear of appliance is against thewall or
no further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you may use
the wall orfloor mount method. If molding is installed and does
not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove
molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate
the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against
the rear wall and the side edge of template on the mark made
referencing the side of the appliance. Place bracket on top of
template and mark location of the screw holes inwall. Ifrear
of appliance isfurther than 1-1/4" from thewallwhen installed,
attach bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket
by placing back edge of the template where the rear of the
range will be located. Mark the location of the screw holes,
shown in template.

B=

Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be

mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20 °
downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry
or ceramic floors, drill a 3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The
screws provided may be used inwood or concrete material.

Use a5/16" nut-driver orflat head screwd river to secure the
bracket in place.

• Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x
3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible appliance
conduit for connection of the range.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, 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 orfrom the appliance

itself.
If the appliance is ever moved to a different location, the anti-

tip brackets must also be moved and installed with the
appliance.

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.

Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-offvalve from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures greater than 14" of water column
pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 14" of water column pressure
(approximately 1/2" psig).

If itshould be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure,
connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device to
thetop burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hosewith inside
diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over

orifice. Turn burnervalveon.

For an accurate pressu re check have at least two (2) other top
burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at
least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The

gas supply pressure should never be over 14" water column.
When properly adjusted for Natural Gas the manifold pressure
is 4."
