Fire Hazard Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Personal Injury Hazard To eliminate the risk of burns 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 or other personal injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard

It is the customer’s responsibility:

To contact a qualified electrical installer.

. To assure that electrical installation is

adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition,* and all local codes and ordinances.

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

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 l/4” plywood under range if installing range over carpeting.

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

Electrical Shock Hazard

Take special care when cutting holes in

wall. Electrical wires may be concealed behind the wall covering and contact with them could result in electrical shock.

Locate any electrical circuits that could be affected by the installation of this product and disconnect power circuit.

Failure to do so could result in electrical

shock.

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 A225.1 /NFPA 501 A - 1987 or latest edition, or with local codes.

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

grounding method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is manufactured 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, grounding-type, wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 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.

With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be l/2” minimum. L.P. gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system.

design-certified, 4-5 foot long, l/2” or 314” I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting this range to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible tubing when moving the range. A l/2” male pipe thread is needed for connection to pressure regulator female pipe threads.

I W Line pressure testing:

Testing above l/2 psi (gauge)

The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected 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 greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing at l/2 psi (gauge)

The range 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 l/2 psig

(3.5 kPa).

Electrical requirements

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 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 serious injury or death.

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 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15.ampere, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only 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

A wiring diagram is included in the literature

package. The wiring diagram is also located on the underside of the storage drawer.
