Safety Practices for Servicer

Safe and satisfactory operation of gas wall ovens
depends upon its design and proper installation. However,
there is one more area of safety to be considered:

Servicing

Listed below are some general precautions and safety
practices which should be followed in order to protect the
service technician and consumer during service and after
service has been completed.
1. Gas smell—Extinguish any and all open flames and
open windows.
2. Turn gas off—Service wall oven with gas turned off
unless testing requires it.
3. Checking for gas leaks—Never check for leaks with
any kind of open flame. Soap and water solution
should be used for this purpose. Apply solution to
suspected area and watch for air bubbles which
indicates a leak. Correct leaks by tightening fittings,
screws, connections, applying approved compound,
or installing new parts.
4. Using lights—Use a hand flashlight when servicing
wall ovens or checking for gas leaks. Electric
switches should not be operated where leaks are
suspected. This will avoid creating arcing or sparks
which could ignite the gas. If electric lights are
already turned on, they should not be turned off.
5. Do not smoke—Never smoke while servicing gas wall
ovens, especially when working on piping that
contains or has contained gas.
6. Check wall oven when service is completed—
After servicing, make visual checks on electrical
connection, and check for gas leaks. Inform
consumer of the condition of wall oven before leaving.
7. Adhere to all local regulations and codes when
performing service.

Receiving Wall Oven

• Installer needs to show consumer location of the wall
oven gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off.
• Authorized servicer must install the wall oven, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Adjustments and service should be performed only by
authorized servicer.
• Plug wall oven into a 120–volt grounded outlet only. Do
not remove round grounding prong from the plug. If in
doubt about grounding of the home electrical system, it
is consumers responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
• Insure all packing materials are removed from the wall
oven before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke
damage should the packing material ignite.

• Ensure wall oven is correctly adjusted by a qualified
service technician or installer for the type of gas
(Natural or LP). Some wall ovens can be converted for
use with Natural or LP gas.
• With prolonged use of a wall oven, high floor
temperatures could result. Many floor coverings will not
be able to withstand this kind of use. Never install wall
oven over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand
high temperatures. Never install wall oven directly over
