installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFRR, 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
A.225.], or with local codes.
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, wlfh the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest edition. See
Grounding Instructions in the Electrical Requirements
section of these Installation Instructions.
* 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" (10,]6cm)
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.
Air curtains or other overhead range hoods, which
operate by blowing a downward air flow onto a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
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 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.
* 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.
* 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.

Anti=tip Bracket installation instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor by the 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 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 floor. When fastening to floor, be sure that
screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

Note: The purpose of forming the gas flexible
connector is to position it in a way that will not
block the unit or get pinched in it's final position.
If your unit in place is not against the wall as
you wish, check behind the range and place the
gas flexlble connector to avoid the range being
blocked or the gas flexlble connector being
pinched.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnect this range and its individual manual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater
than 14" water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14"
water column pressure (approximately 1/_" psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold
gas pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or
other pressure device to the top burner right rear
orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of
approximately 1/&" hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Turn burner valve on.
For accurate pressure 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 manifold pressure is 4" (For
LP/Propane (Gas the manifold pressure is 10")
