Mobile Home Installation

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, 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 Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI Z225.1-NFPA 501 A, — latest edition, or with local codes.

When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be secured to the floor. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards listed above.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

A WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Personal Injury Hazard

To eliminate the risk of bums or fire, avoid installing cabinet storage above the cooking surface. If cabinets are already installed, reduce the hazard of reaching over a heated cooking surface by installing a range hood. The range hood should extend a minimum of 5 inches out from the bottom front of the cabinets.

Reaching over a heated cooking surface could result in a serious burn.

Electrical Shock Hazard

It is the custonner’s responsibility:

• To contact a qualifié electrical

installer.

• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with Notional Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.

A CAUTION

Property Damage

• Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the floor covering can withstand heat at least 90”F above room temperature.

• Use an insulated pad or 1/4" plywood under range if installing range over carpeting.

Failure to do so may result in damage to floor covering.

Tools and materials needed for installation:

• gas line shutoff valve

• L.P.-resistant pipe-

Requirements

A WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrical ground Is required on this

appliance.

• Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

• Do Not modify the power supply cord plug. If It does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet Installed by a qualified electrician.

• Do Not have a fuse In the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse In the neutral or grounding circuit could result In an electrical shock.

• Do Not use an extension cord with this appliance.

• Check with a qualified electrician If you are In doubt as to whether the appliance Is properly grounded.

Failure to follow these Instructions could result In a fire, electrical shock or other personal Injury.

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified

electrician determine that the

grounding path is adequate.

A 12CFvolt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere, fused elecfricai supply is required. A time-deiay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended, it is recommended that a separate circuit serving oniy this appliance be provided.

Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. In addition to checking that the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded, the outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is wired with correct polarity.

The wiring diagram is found on a separate sheet in the literature package. The wiring diagram can also be found on the back of the range.

Recommended grounding method

For personal safety, this appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, groundingtype wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* and all local codes and ordinances. (See Figure

1.) If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Electronic Ignition System — initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.

When the cooktop control knob is turned to

"LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar heats up bright orange and Ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow bar remains on while the burner operates.
