Location safety

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
• Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range's weight.
Synthetic flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures
without shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Do not install the range directly over
interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator
is placed between the range and carpeting.
• Select a location where a grounded, 3-prong outlet is easily accessible.
• If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains or paper blinds
on that window.
• For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range's vents are not blocked,
and that there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the
range. The vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F
(93 °C) generated by the range.

• This range is for indoor, household use only.
Do not install the range in areas exposed to the
weather and/or water.
• Do not install the range in a place which is
exposed to a strong draft.
• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet
storage above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches
(102 cm) between the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds
on that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a
fire hazard.

Cooktop safety

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
• Make sure all burners are off when not using the
range.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or
any part of the cooktop. This can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
• Before igniting the burners, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and
all burners are level.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners
have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas has
dissipated.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the
flame stays on.
• Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
• This cooktop is designed for use with a wok or wok ring attachment.
• To flame food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you flame food, the hood
must be on.
• Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
