INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read these instructions completely and carefully. Improper
installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or
property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information,
consult a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas supplier.
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks
and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
IMPORTANT: Remove all packing material and
literature from oven before connecting gas and
electrical supply to range.
• Have your range installed by a qualified
installer.
• Your range must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70,
latest edition). In Canada, electrical grounding
must be in accordance with the current CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or
local codes. See
this manual.
• Before installing your range on linoleum or any
other synthetic floor covering, make sure the
floor covering can withstand 180°F without
shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not
install the range over carpeting unless a sheet
″ thick plywood or similar insulator is
of 1/4
placed between the range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the
range can withstand heat generated by the
range up to 200°F.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING!
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach an approved
Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See
Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this
manual.) To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti-Tip device should engage and
prevent the range from tipping over.
LOCATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you pull the range out from the wall for
any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when you push the range back
against the wall.
Do not locate the range where it may be
subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the
floor or wall behind the range should be
sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not
obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care
when moving the range on this type of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect
your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the floor
covering ends at the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher than the
floor covering. This will allow the range to be
moved for cleaning or servicing.
Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (See the
Instructions
Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)
by the range. (See the
Instructions
section.)

2. CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off
until the new hook-up has been completed.
Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas
appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of a CSA International-certified
flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a
new range. If the hard piping method is used,
you must carefully align the pipe; the range
cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound
on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*
around, all male (external) pipe threads.

(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp
circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp
circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by
the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.

B. USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE THE
APPLIANCE POWER CORD WILL BE
DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
The customer should have the two-prong wall
receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for
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, latest
edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities
and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or
with local codes. In Canada, mobile home
installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home
Installation Code.

CAUTION
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the

the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring. The
customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
