General
•
Install or locate the oven only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The oven must be installed
by a qualified installer. The oven must be
properly connected to the proper gas
supply and checked for leaks. The oven
must also be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
•
Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and
soot, primarily from incomplete combus-
tion. Significant exposure to these
substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combus-
tion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
•
Do not store things children might want
above the oven. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
•
Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended in area where the oven is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the oven. They
could be burned or injured.
•
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged
or not working properly.
•
Do not use the oven for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
•
Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result.
•
Use the oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
•
Do not touch interior surfaces of oven.
Areas near interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the oven, such as the
oven vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, and the oven door and
window, could also become hot enough
to cause burns.
•
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the oven. They could ignite if
they touch a hot surface and you could
be burned.
•
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could
catch on fire.
•
Keep oven vents unobstructed.
•
Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
•
Use only cookware approved for oven
use. Follow cookware manufacturer's
instructions, especially when using glass
or plastic cookware.
•
Do not store flammable materials in or
near the oven or in the storage drawer.
The fumes could create an explosion
and/or fire hazard.
•
Do not use the oven for storage.
•
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom, or any other part of the oven.
Use aluminum foil only as recommended
in this manual.
