Important safety information • Make sure your range is correctly installed and adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) you will use. For your range to utilize LP gas, the installer must replace the 5 surface burner orifices and 2 oven orifices with the provided LP orifice set, and reverse the GPR adapter. These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. The qualified agency performing this work assumes the gas conversion responsibility. • 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/NFPA.54, 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 where applicable. This range has been design-certified by ETL according to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition, and Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-1.1, latest edition. Location safety WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the following precautions. • This range is for indoor, household use only. Do not install the range in areas exposed to the weather and/or water. • Do not install the range in a place which is exposed to a strong draft. • Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range's weight. Synthetic flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures without shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Do not install the range directly over interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting. • Select a location where a grounded, 3-prong outlet is easily accessible. • If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window. • For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range's vents are not blocked, and that there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the range. The vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. • Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C) generated by the range. • Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches (102 cm) between the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. • Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. • If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire hazard. Cooktop safety WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the following precautions. • Make sure all burners are off when not using the range. • Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop. This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings. • Before igniting the burners, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are level. • Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas has dissipated. English 7
