SERVICE AND REPAIR

6.1 Preparing the Range for Servicing

For most servicing of this appliance (for example, involving
disassembly, removal or installation), you will need to do the following
prior to starting:
■ Turn off the gas supply to the range by closing the gas valve at
the wall.
■ Turn off the electrical power to the range by removing the power
cord from the electrical outlet, and putting the circuit breaker in the
OFF position or by removing the fuse.
■ Make sure the range is not hot.
If testing the appliance requires the use of electrical power and/or an
open gas supply, exercise extreme caution.
