General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, serious injury or death when installing or using this appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Read the accompanying use and care manual completely before operating this appliance.
• Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder.
• This range must be properly installed by a qualified installer according to these installation instructions prior to use. The installer
must show the customer the location of the gas shut off valve and the circuit breaker panel or fuse box so that they know where
and how to turn off the gas supply and electric power to the range.
• If the back wall is made of combustible materials do not operate the range without a backguard or raised vent in place. A fire may
result.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A
qualified service technician should perform all other service.
• Do not connect this range to the gas supply without the supplied gas pressure regulator installed.
• Before performing any type of service or installation, make sure that the gas supply and electric power to the range are off.
• NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the range or cover an oven
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. See the Getting to Know Your Range section of the use and care manual for the
location of the various air holes (slots).
• Only use the range for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in the literature accompanying it. This range is
not intended for commercial use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE
• Do not climb on any part of the appliance.
• Never leave this appliance unattended when in use.
• Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area around the range. Do not allow children to play with the controls,
pull on the handle, or touch other parts of the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the
appliance.
• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure.
• Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any part of the range unless specifically instructed to do so in these
instructions.
• To prevent the unit from tipping forward and to provide a stable installation, this range must be secured in place with the anti-tip
device as specified in these instructions.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not place
such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior of the
oven or the cooktop and surrounding areas during and immediately after use.
• To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range. If the range is near a window, do not use
long curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Do not touch the burner assembly, grates or surrounding surfaces (including the backguard) or the interior surfaces of the oven
during use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the range during the self-clean cycle. They will be hot. Venting from the oven may cause the
cooktop and backguard to become hot.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing them from the valve stems.
• Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and trim rings in place.
• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning fan
blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.
