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 supplier
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.
