Care Guide, read it carefully.

• Air curtain or other overhead 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 listen by an independent test laboratory for use in combination with each other.

• 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 United States or with CSA

Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 in Canada.

• The installation of appliances designed for 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

• 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 above room temperature without shrinking, warping or

discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼"

(0,6 cm) 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 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 doors or drawers 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 burners, cabinet storage space above the burners should be avoided.

• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessive flame is hazardous.
