INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional
information, consult a qualified installer, service
agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas supplier.
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use
of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and
personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
IMPORTANT –
material and literature from oven before connecting
gas and electrical supply to range.
CAUTION –
the oven of this range during a power failure (Electric
Ignition models only).
s Have your range installed by a qualified installer.
s Your range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).
In Canada, electrical 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.
s 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.
s Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F.
Installation Instructions
Remove all packing
Do not attempt to operate
s 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.
s The ventilating hood must be constructed
of sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick.
Install 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
centered over the appliance. Clearance between
the cooking surface and the ventilation hood
surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24
INCHES.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven
or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform
to the installation instructions packed with that
appliance.
s If cabinets are placed above the range,
allow a minimum clearance of 30" between the
cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected
cabinets.
s If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4"
insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not
less than 0.0122" thick. Clearance between the
cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.
s The vertical distance 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 the Dimensions
and Clearances illustration in this section.)
CAUTION –
s
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.
