Important Safety Information
VENTILATION WARNINGS
The range should have proper ventilation in order to
keep the unit operating properly and maintain the
temperature of immediate surroundings within safe
limits. Check your local building codes as they may vary
from the general rules outlined in this guide.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not
obstruct
of combustion and ventilation air.
It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with
installation clearances
on the model/serial
rating plate.
For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air
necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able
to
into the room naturally. The air must into
the room directly through openings in the outside walls.
These openings must have an unobstructed cross-
section not less than 2m3/h for each kw of power (see
total power in kw on the appliance).
This opening must be constructed so that it will
not be obstructed from inside or outside, and not
be constructed close to the
The opening is
recommended to be on the side opposite to that on
which the gases are discharged.
The range should be located for convenient use in
the kitchen.
Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure
of the sides and rear of the range.
To eliminate the risk of burns or
by reaching
overheated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood or microwave hood combination
with minimum 400 CFM that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5” (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
If a range hood is installed above the appliance,
maintain a 30” minimum clearance between cooking
surface and bottom of range hood. The range hood
must be connected directly to
or to the outside.
Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the appliance
when possible. If cabinetry is used above the cooking
surface, use cabinets no more than 13” deep. Make
sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around
the appliance can withstand heat up to 200º F (93°C)
generated by the appliance.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be
used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
Working areas adjacent to the range should have
18” minimum clearance between countertop and
cabinet bottom. (See Figure 1)
All openings in the wall or where range is to be
installed must be sealed.
Contact a
covering installer to check that
the covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
Use an insulated pad or 1/4” (0.64 cm) plywood under
range if installing range over carpeting.
The anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the
anti-tip bracket shipped with the range, see “Install Anti-
Tip Bracket” section on page 21.
Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Connect
to AC” section on page 23, as well as the safety
precautions on page 10.
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See
“Gas Connection” section on pages 16 and 17, as well
as the safety precautions on page 9.
