INSTALLATION
Installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local
codes, with the American National Standard for Recreational Vehicles,
ANSI/A119.2 and Article 551, ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, installation
must conform with CSA Z240.4.2-M.
 WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN INJURY
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
• The cooking appliance must be completely separated and/or
sealed from other air moving or air consuming devices such as,
but not limited to, furnaces, microwave ovens, clothes dryers,
cooling fans and doors or drawers in common cabinets. Failure
to do so will affect the appliance(s) combustion air supply by
creating either a negative or positive draft.
• NEGATIVE DRAFT caused by air moving appliances may draw
the top burner flame down into or toward the cooktop resulting
in cooktop damage, burn hazard, explosion possibility and/or
carbon monoxide buildup.
• POSITIVE DRAFT may blow out the top burner flame during use
resulting in an explosion and/or fire hazard and/or injury to the
occupants of the vehicle.
•
DO NOT operate the appliance in excessive windy conditions as
this may cause a negative or positive draft.
1. For proper operation of your cooking appliance:
THE HOUSING CABINET MUST BE:
• properly constructed.
• squared to the countertop and cabinet face
OPENING IN THE HOUSING CABINET MUST BE:
• level from side to side and front to rear
2. For ranges, the cabinet opening must be constructed so that no com-
bustible material can be placed next to the range sides. If there is a
gap between the range and an adjacent cabinet, the gap must be
closed prior to installing the range.
 WARNING
FIRE
• 30 inches is the minimum vertical distance to combustible mate-
rial above the cooktop stove. This distance may be reduced by
using non-combustible construction in accordance with Table 2-
6.7.2 in ANSI A119.2.
