30" DUAL FUEL SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(Models with an Electric Oven and a Gas Cooktop)

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/NFPA54 or CAN/ACG-B149.1

and CAN/ACG-B149.2.
This range has been design certified by CSA

international. As with any appliance using gas and

generating heat, there are certain safety precautions

you should follow. You will find them in the Use and

Care Guide, read it carefully.
• Air curtain or other overhead hoods, which operate

by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall

not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other

than when the hood and range have been designed,

tested and listen by an independent test laboratory

for use in combination with each other.

Be sure your range is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service

technician.

This range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,

with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

70—latest edition in United States or with CSA

Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1

in Canada.

• The installation of appliances designed for

manufactured (mobile) home installation must

conform with Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly

the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction

and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or when

such standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured

Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI

Z225.1/NFPA 501A-latest edition, or with local codes

in United States and with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH in

Canada.

Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand the heat generated by the range.

Before installing the range in an area covered

with linoleum or any other synthetic floor

covering, make sure the floor covering can

withstand heat at least 90°F above room

temperature without shrinking, warping or

discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting

unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼"

(0,6 cm) thick plywood between the range and

carpeting.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at

the oven vent nor around the base or beneath

the lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching

the vent openings or nearby surfaces as they

may become hot while the oven is in operation.

This range requires fresh air for proper burner

combustion.

Never leave children alone or

unattended in the area where an appliance is in

use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe

use of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open

when the range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the

doors or drawers of this range can result in serious

injuries and can also cause damage to the range.

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above the range. Children could be

seriously burned climbing on the range to reach

items.

To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

burners, cabinet storage space above the

burners should be avoided.

Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

A child or adult can tip the range and

be killed.

Verify the anti-tip device has been

installed to floor or wall as per

installation instructions.

Tip Over Hazard

Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged to floor or

wall when the range is moved.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device

in place and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death or serious burns to children and adults.

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed

properly, use both arms and grasp

the rear edge of range back. Carefully

attempt to tilt range forward. When

properly installed, the range should not

tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket

installation instructions

supplied with your range for proper installation.
