oinstalation 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 edi-
tion. In Canada, installation must conform with
the current Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-IB149.1 or the current Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149o2 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-1 1 latest edition As with any appliaHce
using gas and generating heat, there are certain safe-
ty precautions you should fotowo You will find these
precautions in the Important Safety Instructions sec-
tion in the front of this manual Read them carefully
o Have your range installed by a qualified installer or
service technician
o 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 (ANSlINFPA 70, latest edition). In Canada,
electrical grounding must be in accordance with the
current CSA-C221 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1
and/or local codes See Electrical Connections in
this section
o Before installing your range on linoleum or any other
syntfletic floor covering, make sure the floor cover-
ing can withstand 180°F (82°C) without shrinking,
warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over
carpeting unless a sheet of 114" (6 mm) thick ply-
wood or similar insulator is placed between the
range and carpeting
oMake sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F
(93°C).
o 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 ore)
beyond the front of the cabinets.
oThe ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 0.0122" (31 mm) 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).
Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed with
that appliance
o If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-
mum clearance of 30" (76.2 cm) between the cool<-
ing surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
o If a 30" (76.2 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 mm) insulating millboard covered
with sheet metal not less than 0o0122" (.31 ram)
thick.
oClearance between the cooking surface and protect-
ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24" (6I
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 less than 18"
(45°7 cm). (See the Dimensions and Clearances
illustration in this section.)
oCAUTION: 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_
WAIIIIHG
