Step-by-Step Installation
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location with proper clearance from combustible materials and adequate ventilation.
- Remove Packaging Materials: Remove all shipping materials, protective films, and tape from the range.
- Gas Connection (Gas Models): Connect to gas supply using approved flexible connector. Check all connections for leaks using leak detector solution.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a properly grounded 120V, 60Hz, AC outlet. Electric models require 240V connection for heating elements.
- Anti-Tip Bracket Installation: Install and secure the anti-tip bracket to prevent range from tipping forward.
