tion. In Canada, installation must conform with
the current Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1 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 edi-
tion and Canadian Gas Association according to
CAN/CGA-I.1 latest edition. As with any appliance
using gas and generating heat, there are certain safe-
ty precautions you should follow° You will find these
precautions in the Important Safety Instructions sec-
tion in the front of this manual Read them carefully.
-Have your rar;g_ ins_,aiied by _, qua!i[i'_d i;_s_,ii_r ur

= Your range must be electrically grounded in accor-
dance 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

• 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, warp-
ing or discoloring. Do not install the range over car-
peting unless a sheet of 1/4" (6 mm) 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 °C).
•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" (127 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 1/4" (6 mm) between the hood and the under-
side 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 shall
conform to the installation instructions packed with
that appliance.
=If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-
mum clearance of 30" (76..2 cm) between the cook-
ing surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
•If a 30" (762 cm) clearance between cooking sur-
face and overhead combustible material or metal
cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the under-
side of the cabinets above the cooking top with not
less than 1/4" (6 ram) insulating miflboard covered
with sheet metal not less than 0..0122" (.31 ram)
thick.
° Clearance between the cooking surface and protect-
ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24" (61
cm)o 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 less than 18"
illustration in this section..)
=CAUTION." Items of interest to children should not
be stored in cabinets above a range or on the back-
splash of a range--children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping of
the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip
device to the wall (See Installing the
Anti-Tip Device in this section_) To
check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, carefully tip the
range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range
from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall
for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip
device is engaged when you push the
range back against the walt.
•For your safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not
designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should
not be operated without cookware on the grate,
Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your
range and will void your warranty.
- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance° Explosions or fires
could result°
•Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in
the oven can ignite.
•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable mate-
rials accumulate in or near the range.
