IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
AWARNING — If the information
in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire,
explosion or gas leak may result causing
property damage, personal injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance!
WHAT TO DO IF YOU
ar SMELL GAS:
*® Do not try to light any appliance. Do not
touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
¢ Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
e If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
AWARNING — For personal safety,
remove house fuse or open circuit breaker
before beginning installation. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or even death.
All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range. Electricity to
the range can be disconnected at the outlet
without moving the range if the outlet is in
the preferred location (remove lower drawer).
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when
reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage space above the cooktop should be
avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range hood that
protrudes at least 5” beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop
must be no deeper than 13”.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
This range has been design certified by
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES for use in
the United States and Canada. You'll find
safety precautions in your Owner’s Manual.
Read them carefully.
® Installation of this range must conform with
local codes or in the absence of local codes
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
2223.1-Latest edition.
* Be sure your range is installed properly by
a qualified installer or service technician.
¢ To eliminate reaching over surface burners,
cabinet storage above burner should be
avoided.
¢ Do not install the unit near an outside door
or where a draft may affect its use.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the
proper voltage and frequency and connected
to an individual, properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse
having a recommended amperage rating per
the table below.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS-
(cont.)
Check with your local utilities for electrical
codes which apply in your area. Failure to
wire your range according to governing
codes could result in a hazardous condition.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor
connection to an electric range. When installing
an electric range in new construction, a mobile
home, recreational vehicle or an area where
local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor, follow the instructions in the
section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT

Installation Instructions
GAS CONNECTIONS
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
[A] Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas
supply line in an easily accessible location.
Know how and where to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
Shut off gas supply before removing an
old range. Leave it off until hookup of
new range is finished.
[D] Because solid pipe restricts moving the
range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.
certified flexible metal appliance
connector.
A WARNING: 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.

is compatible with Natural and LP gases.
[1] When you are finished making
connections, be sure that all range knobs
are turned to OFF before you open the
main gas supply valve.
A WARNING: Do not use a flame
to check for gas leaks. Use liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks
in the system.

REINSTALL WIRE COVER
NOTE: When reinstalling the wire cover,
make sure that wires do not become pinched
between the wire cover and the housing.
NOTE: The ground strap must be attached
when using the 3-wire cord.
* Terminations must be either closed loop
terminals or open-end spade lugs.
¢ On some models, a filter capacitor may
be connected between the black and
ground leads on the junction block.
Do not remove capacitor.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION
To reduce
the risk of
tipping the range,
the range must
be secured by a
properly installed
anti-tip bracket.
See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for complete
details before attempting to install.
AWARNING
+ All ranges can tip.
+ BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
+ INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, remove the storage drawer or kick
panel and look underneath the range to see that
the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On
models without a storage drawer or kick panel,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket
should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does
not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is
pulled from the wail for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly
secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be
secured to the anti-tip device properly.
