IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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/NFPA .54-latest edition.
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. See
Grounding Instructions.
• The installation of appliances designed for
manufactures (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 Set ups), ANSI Z225.1
latest edition, or local codes.
• 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" (10,16 cm) thick plywood between the
range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range.
• 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.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This
creates a potentially hazardous situation.
• Never use your range for warming or heating
the room. Prolonged use of the range without
adequate ventilation can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids near this or any
other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
Do not make any attempt to
operate the electric ignition oven during an
electrical power failure. Resumption of electric
power when OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET controls
are in any position other than OFF will result in
automatic ignition of the oven or broiler burner. The
To reduce the risk of
tipping of the range, the
range must be secured
by properly installed anti-
tip bracket (s) provided
with the range. To
check if the bracket(s) is
installed properly, grasp
the top rear edge of the
range and carefully tilt it
forward to make sure the
range is anchored.
• All ranges
can tip.
• Injury to
persons
could
result.
• Install anti-
tip device
packed with
range.
