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.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate
the oven of this range during a power failure
(Electric Ignition models only).
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
Electrical Connections in this section.
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 of 1/4 thick plywood or
similar insulator is 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.
Avoid placing cabinets above the range.
To reduce the hazard caused by reaching
over the open flames of operating burners,
install a ventilation hood over the range
that projects forward at least 5 beyond the
front of the cabinets.
