IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Installation of this range must conform with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest
edition. In Canada, installation must conform
with the current Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149ol or the current Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2 and
with local codes where applicable.
This range has been design-certified by the American Gas
Association according to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition and
Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-I_I
latest edition. As with any appliance using gas and
generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you
should follow. You will find these precautions in the
Important Safety Instructions section in the front of this
manual Read them carefully_
• 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
(ANSt/NFPA 70, latest edition)° In Canada, electrical
grounding must be in accordance with the current
CSA_C22o1 Canadian Electrical Code Part t 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 (82°C) without shrinking, warping
or discoloring. Do net install the range over carpeting
unless a sheet of 1/4"(6 ram) 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 (93°0)..
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" (I2.7 cm)
beyond the front of the cabinets.
• The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 0.0122" (..3t ram) thick. Install
above the cooking top with a clearance of not less than
t/4"(6 mm) 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" (61 cm).
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shalt conform to
the installation instructions packed with that appliance°
• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a
minimum clearance of 30" (762 cm) between
the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected
cabinets.
If a 30" (76,2 cm) 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 V4"
(6 ram) insulating miflboard covered with sheet metal
not less than Q.0122" (.31 ram) thick.
Clearance between the cooking surface and protected
cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24" (6l cm)°
The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking
surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets
extending closer than 1" (2.5 cm) to the plane of the
range sides must not be tess than 18" (45.7 cm)..
(See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in
this section.)
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on
the backsplash of a range--children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured,
