IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Cold temperatures can damage the
electronic control. When using the appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used for an
extended period of time, be certain the unit has been
in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.
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"
(10,16 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.
• 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.
To reduce
the risk of tipping of the
range, the range must
be secured by properly
installed anti-tip bracket
provided with the range.
To check if the bracket 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.
