SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a
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.
WARNING: These adjustments 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.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type of
use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal
injury.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
range or on the backsplash of a range—
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your range.
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the range. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and
may cause severe burns.
Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
Never leave the oven door open when you
are not watching the range.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or near
the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
