36" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT 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 Z223.1/NFPA No.54. When installing in a 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, ANSI Z225.1/NFPA 501A-latest edition, or with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH, or with local codes . 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. • 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 the United States or with CSA standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 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/32°C above room temperature without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4" (6.4 mm) 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 cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as alminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. 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 door 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 units, cabinet storage space above the units 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. • In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head and rapidly turn the Surface Control knob to Med. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. • Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide. • Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the cooktop. Special Instructions for appliances installed in the State of Massachusetts: This appliance can only be installed in the State of Massachusetts by a Massachusetts licensed plumber or gas fitter. When using a flexible gas connector, it must not exceed 3 feet (36 inches) in length. A "T" handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance. • All ranges can tip. • Injury to persons could result. • Install anti-tip device packed with range. To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured by properly installed anti-tip bracket(s) 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. 2
