INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
electrical shock, fi re, serious injury, or death.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or
additional information, consult a qualifi ed installer,
service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas
supplier.
Never reuse old fl exible connectors. The use of
old fl exible connectors can cause gas leaks and
personal injury. Always use new fl exible connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer instructions.
Remove all packing material and literature from
oven before connecting gas and electrical supply to
range.
Do not attempt to operate the oven of this range
during a power failure.
Have your range installed by a qualifi ed 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.
Your range must conform with local gas codes or, in
the absence of local codes, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Appliances designed for manufactured mobile home
installtion 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 with local codes where
applicable.
Appliances designed for Recreational Park Trailers
must conform with the state or other codes or, in
the absence of such codes, with the Standard for
Recreational Park Trailers, ANSI A1 19.5.
Before installing your range on linoleum or any
other synthetic fl oor covering, make sure the fl oor
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 cabinets, fl oor, and 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
fl ames of operating burners, install a ventilation
hood over the range that projects forward at least
5” beyond the front of the cabinets.
The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Install above
the cooktop with a clearance of not less than
1/4” between the hood and the underside of the
combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood
must be at least as wide as the appliance and
centered over the appliance. Clearance between the
cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface
must never be less than 24”. Exception: Installation
of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance
over the cooktop shall conform to the installation
instructions packed with that appliance.
If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a
minimum clearance of 30 “ between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
If a 30” clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of
the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than
1/4” insulating miliboard covered with sheet metal
not less than 0.0122” thick. Clearance between
the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24”.
The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking
surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets
extending closer than 1” to the plane of the range
sides must not be less than 18”. (See the Dimensions
and Clearances Illustration in this section).
