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--1atest edition when installed in the United

States.

When installed in a manufactured (mobile) home, installation 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 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.

• Be sureyour 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 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 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 useofall 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.

• 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 upexcess spillage. Follow

the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

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

Special instructions for appliances installed in the State of Massachusetts: This appfiance can only be installed in the State of Massachusetts by a Massachusetts 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.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO

OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN

ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL OVEN

CONTROLS TO "OFF" IN THE EVENT OF A POWER

FAILURE.

The electric ignitor will automatically re-ignite the oven burner when power resumes if the oven thermostat control

was left in the "ON" position.

When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the surface burners will continue to operate.

During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with

a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when

lighting burners this way.

Before Starting

Tools You Will Need

For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:

• Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers

• 5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screw Driver

• Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit (5/32" Masonry Drill Bit if installing in concrete)

For gas supply connection:

• Pipe wrench

For burner flame adjustment:

• Phillips head _ and blade-type screwdrivers

For gas conversion (LP/Propane or Natural):

• Open end wrench - 1/2"

Additional Materials You Will Need

• Gas line shut-off valve

• Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas

• A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4" or 1/2"1.D.) must be design certified by CSA 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.

Locate the Bracket Using the Template- (Bracket may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use the information below to locate the bracket if template is not available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right sideoftherangewillbelocated. If rear of range isagainst thewall or no further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor 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 range. Place bracket on top of template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. Ifrear of range is further than 1-1/4" from the wall when 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.

S .........

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, tf bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a 5/32" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may be used in wood or concrete

material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat head screwdriver 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 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 inwood or metal. When fastening to the floor orwall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
