IMPORTANT S AFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these
substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural
gas or L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted
appliances, indicated by the bluish
rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can
be minimized by further venting
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
• DO NOT leave children alone or
unattended near an appliance in use.
• TEACH CHILDREN not to play with
controls or any part of the appliance,
and not to sit, climb or stand on the
door, or any other part of the appliance.
• CAUTION: NEVER STORE items of
interest to children in cabinets above
the appliance. Children climbing on the
appliance could be seriously injured.
• KEEP THIS book for later use.
• NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• NEVER TRY to repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless instructions
are gixen in this manual. All other work
should be done by a qualified
technician.
• ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall
coverings, curtains, dishcloths, towels,
potholders, and other linens a safe
distance from the appliance.
• NEVER HEAT unopened food
containers. Pressure buildup can cause
the container to burst and cause injury.
• NEVER LEAVE jars or cans of fat or
drippings in your oven.
• ALWAYS KEEP the oven and
surface unit areas free from things that
will burn. Food, wooden utensils,
grease buildup, gasoline and other
flammable vapors or liquids could
catch fire. Plastic utensils could melt
and canned foods could explode. Your
appliance should never be used as a
storage area.
• NEVER WEAR loose fitting clothing
when using your appliance.
• NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes,
and wet cloths or sponges could cause
steam burns.
