proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a
small leak, and therefore a faint gas smell,
if the connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position. For your
protection, it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame

not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU
burners can easily melt cookware handles.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If by some chance a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or a door to
let the room air out. Do not attempt to use
the appliance until the gas has had time
to dissipate. Follow the instructions in
"What to do if You Smell Gas" on page 2.
• Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the top and bottom of the oven
door, in the front portion of the control panel,
at the rear of the cooktop and along the
bottom of the range.
• Be sure all the range and/or cooktop
controls are turned off and the appliance is
cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
or cooking spray on or around the appliance.
The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode.
• Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting
the surface burners and make sure the
burners have ignited.
