Important
safety
Instructions
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any
appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions
which must be followed to ensure safe
and satisfactory
operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons,
or
damage
when using the range, follow basic precautions,
includ-
Ing the following:
WARNING: If the information
in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l
Do not try to light any appliance.
l
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
l
Immediately call your gas suppller from a neighbor's phone. Follow
the gas supplier's instructions.
l
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
General
l
Install or locate the range only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
The range must be installed by a qualified
installer. The range must be properly
connected to the proper gas supply and
checked for leaks. The range must also be
properly connected to electrical supply and
grounded.
l
Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene, formal-
dehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily
from incomplete combustion.
Significant
exposure to these substances
can cause
cancer or reproductive
harm. Properly
adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a
yellow, flame will minimize incomplete
combustion.
Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
l
Do not store things children might want above
the range. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on it.
l
Do not leave children alone or unattended in
area where the range is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the range. They could be burned or injured.
l
Do not operate the range if it is damaged or
not working properly.
