GENERAL
No cooking appliance should be used as
a space heater. This instruction is based
on safety considerations to prevent po-
tential hazard to the consumer as well
as damage to the appliance.
If range is installed
near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent
curtains
from
blowing
over
burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gaso-
line, and other flammable vapors and
materials.
Have the installer show you the location
of the gas shut off valve and how to shut
it off in an emergency.
Your appliance
is vented through the
base of the backguard.
Never block
oven vent or air intakes. Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. Restriction of air flow to the burner
prevents proper performance.
Avoid touching oven vent area while
oven is on and for several minutes after
oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot
enough to cause burns.
Do not use cooktop or oven as a storage
area for food or cooking utensils. This
instruction is based on safety consid-
erations to prevent potential hazard to
user and to the appliance.
Misuse
of appliance
doors, such as
stepping, leaning or sitting on the door,
may result in possible tipping of the ap-
pliance or breakage of door and serious
injuries.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
1. Turn off range controls.
2. Smother fire or flame with baking
soda, dry chemical, or a foam-type
extinguisher.
Do not use water on
grease fires.
