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. In Canada, installation
must conform with the current Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the
current Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-
B149.2, and with local codes \diere applicable.
This range has been design-certified by the
American Gas Association according to ANSI Z21.1,
latest edition and Canadian Gas Association
according to CAN/CGA-Li latest edition. As with
any appliance using gas and generating heat,
fiiere are certain safety precautions you should
follow. You will find these precautions in the
Important Safety Instructions in the front of this
book. Read them carefiilly.
® Have your range installed by a qualified
inctnllpr nr «f^rvirp tprhnirian
® Your range must be electrically grounded in
accordance Avith local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).
In Canada, electncal 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 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

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
the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface
MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

® K cabinets are placed above the range, allow a
minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unorotected cabinets.
® If a 30" clearance between cooking surface ^d
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of
the cabinets above the cooktop with not less

sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick.
® Clearmice between the cooking surface and
protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS
THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distoce 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 Dimensions and
Clearances illustration in tliis section.)
® Caution: Items of interest to children should
not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the
backsplash of a range—children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.
