Installation Instructions
WARNING
INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions completely and carefully. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in electrical shock,
fire, 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 qualified installer,
service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas
supplier.
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old
flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use NEW flexible 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 (Electric Ignition models only).
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 (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 this section.
Before installing your range on linoleum or any other
synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor 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, floor, 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 flames
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 millboard 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.)
