The range should have proper ventilation in order to keep the unit operating properly and maintain the temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by • reaching over heated surface units, cabinet the appliance when possible. If cabinetry is should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be no more than 13″ deep. Make sure the wall storage space located above the surface units provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood or microwave hood combination with minimum 400 CFM that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS GAS SUPPLY LINE: − Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may EXPLOSION HAZARD result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe- • joint compounds that resist the action Observe all governing codes and of LP gas must be used.

USING THE COOKTOP Flame Size • For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking. • For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.
