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-latest edition.
This range has been designed certified by the American

Gas Association. 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.

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.

• 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/32°C above room temperature without
shrinking, warping or discoloring.
Do not install the
range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad
or sheet of 1/4" (6.4 mm) 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

door(s) or drawer 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

units, cabinet storage space above the units
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.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn
the Surface Control knob to Lite. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.

• Reset all controls to the OFF position after using a

programmable timing operation.

• 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 on page 4).

• 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

• All ranges can

tip.

• Injury to

persons could
result.

• Install anti-tip

device packed
with range.

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, remove
the lower panel or stor-
age drawer and verify that
the anti-tip bracket(s) is
engaged.
