GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Installation in manufactured (mobile) home
Installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, 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
Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1, or with local codes where applicable.
Installation in recreational park trailers
Installation must conform with state or other codes or, in the absence of
such codes, with the Standard for Recreational Park Trailers, ANSI A119.5.
zTo eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.
zAir curtain or other overhead range 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 listed by an independent test laboratory for use
in combination.
Cleaning and servicing
zService should only be performed by an authorized/qualified technician.
zDisconnect the electrical supply to the appliance before servicing.
zWhen removing appliance for cleaning and/or service:
zShut off gas at main supply.
zDisconnect AC power supply.
zDisconnect gas line to the inlet pipe.
zCarefully remove the range by pulling outward.
zCAUTION: Range is heavy; use care in handling.
zDo not lift the range by the oven door handle or hob rail
zThe misuse of oven door (eg stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can
result in potential hazards and/or injuries.
zWhen installing or removing the range for service, a rolling lift jack
should be used. Do not push against any of the edges of the range in
an attempt to slide it into or out of the installation.
zPushing or pulling a range (rather than using a lift jack) also
increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal
coupling connectors.
