This range has been design certifi ed by CSA
International. As with any appliance using gas and
generating heat, there are certain safety precautions
you should follow. You will fi nd them in the Use and
Care Guide, read it carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded
properly by a qualifi ed installer or service
technician.
• This range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition in United Sates or with CSA
standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 in
Canada. See Grounding Instructions in the Electrical
Requirements section of these Installation Instructions.
• Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic fl oor covering, make
sure the fl oor covering can withstand heat at least 90°F
above room temperature without shrinking, warping or
discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless
you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼" (10,16cm)
thick plywood between the range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
• Do not obstruct the fl ow of combustion air at the oven
vent nor around the base or beneath the lower front
panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent openings or
nearby surfaces as they may become hot while the oven
is in operation. This range requires fresh air for proper
burner combustion.
• Air curtains or other overhead range hoods, which
operate by blowing a downward air fl ow onto a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for
use in combination with each other.
Never leave children alone or unattended
in the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never
leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors
or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and
can also cause damage to the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets
above the range. Children could be seriously burned
climbing on the range to reach items.
• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface burners,
cabinet storage space above the burners should be
avoided.
• Adjust surface burner fl ame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive fl ame
is hazardous.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates a
potentially hazardous situation.
• Never use your range for warming or heating the room.
Prolonged use of the range without adequate ventilation
can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors
and liquids near this or any other appliance. Explosions
or fi res could result.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn the
Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually.
• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a
programmable timing operation.
• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-
cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow the
precleaning instructions in the Use and Care Guide.
• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS NOT
REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the cooktop.
