• The appliance should have proper ventilation in order
to keep the unit operating properly and maintain the
temperature of immediate surroundings within safe
limits. Check your local building codes as they may
vary from the general rules outlined in this guide.
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• It is the installer's responsibility to comply with
installation clearances specified on the model/serial
rating plate.
• For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air
necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able
to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into
the room directly through openings in the outside
walls. These openings must have an unobstructed
cross-section not less than 2m3/h for each kW of
power (see total power in kW on the appliance).
• This opening must be constructed so that it will not be
obstructed from inside or outside, and not be
constructed close to the floor. The opening is
recommended to be on the side opposite to that on
which the flue gases are discharged.
• The appliance should be located for convenient use
in the kitchen.
• Recessed installations must provide a complete
enclosure of the sides and rear of the range.
• It is recommended that the unit be operated with an
oven hood, vented exhaust hood of sufficient size
and capacity.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from reaching
overheated surface units, cabinet storage space
located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood or microwave
hood combination with a minimum of 600 CFM that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• If a range hood is installed above the appliance,
maintain a minimum clearance of 30" between the
cooking surface and the bottom of the range hood. The
range hood must be connected directly to flues or to the
outside.
• Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the appliance
when possible. If cabinetry is used above the cooking
surface, use cabinets that are no more than 13" deep.
Ensure that the wall coverings, countertop, and cabinets
around the appliance can withstand heat up to 200°F
(93°C) generated by the appliance.
• The cabinet opening dimensions shown must be used.
These dimensions are the minimum clearances.
• Working areas adjacent to the appliance should have a
minimum clearance of 18" between the countertop and
cabinet bottom (see Figure 1).
• All openings in the wall or floor where the appliance is to
be installed must be sealed.
• Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check if the
wall coverings, countertops, and cabinets around the
appliance can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
• Use an insulated pad or 1/4" (0.64 cm) plywood under
the range if installing it over carpeting.
• The floor anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the
anti-tip bracket shipped with the range, refer to the
"Install Anti-Tip Bracket" section on page 23.
• A grounded electrical supply is required. See the
"Connect to AC" section on page 23, as well as the
safety precautions on page 10.
• A proper gas supply connection must be available. See
the "Gas Connection" section on pages 17 and 18, as
well as the safety precautions on page 9.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
appliance is properly adjusted at the time of installation.
Situations caused by improper adjustments or improper
installation are not covered under the warranty.
