RMPORTANT 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, latest edition.
This range has been design-certified by the American
Gas Association according to ANSI Z21,,1, latest edi-
tion, As with any appliance using gas and generating
heat, there are certain safety precautions you should
follow_ You will find these precautions on pages t3-16.
Read them carefully
o Have your range installed by a qualified installer or
service technician,
• Your range must be electrically grounded in accor-
dance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). See Grounding
on page 6.
° 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-inch-thick plywood
or similar insulator is placed between the range and
carpeting.
* Make sure the walt coverings around the range can
withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E
° Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce
the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames
of operating burners, install over the range a ventila-
tion hood that projects forward at least 5 inches
beyond the front of the cabinets.
The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 040122 inch thick (No. 28 U_S,
Standard gauge), install above the cooking top with a
clearance of not less than 1/4 inch 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 venti-
lation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN
24 INCHES.
o If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-
mum clearance of 30 inches between the cooking sur-
face and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
° If a 30-inch clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets can-
not be maintained, protect the underside of the cabi-
nets above the cooking top with not less than 1/4-inch
insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less
than 0.0122 inch thick (No. 28 U S Standard gauge),
° Clearance between the cooking surface and protect-
ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24
INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of the
cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead
cabinets extending closer than 1 inch to the plane of
the range sides must not be less than t8 inches° (See
diagram on page 2)
o 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_
WARNING
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping of
the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip
device to the wall. (See page 10.) To
check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, carefully tip the
range forward,. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range
from tipping over
If you pull the range out from the walt for any reason,
make sure the AntFTip device is engaged when you
push the range back against the wall,
• For your safety, never use your range for warming or
heating the room° Your oven and cooktop are not
designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not
be operated without cookware on the grates Such
abuse could result in fire and damage to your range
and will void your warranty.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.. Explosions or fires could
result.
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in
the oven can ignite.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materi-
als accumulate in or near the range.
