SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
n Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's
Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
n
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Before performing any service, disconnect
n
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
Have the installer show you the location of
n
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
n Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
n Have the installer show you the location of
the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut
it off if necessary.
Have your range installed and properly
n
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
n Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
n
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
n
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
4
n Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a
n
qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
Instructions packed with the range.
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
n
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded, three-
prong outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (U.S.). Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
WARNING:
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury
or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
n
maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires.
Teach children not to play with the controls
n
or any other part of the range.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
n
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
