Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your range unless it is specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
o Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent fire
or smoke damage, should the packing material
ignite°
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot out-
age (on models with standing pilots) and poor
air circulation.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor tem-
peratures may result and many floor cover-
ings will not withstand this kind of use. Never
install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that
cannot withstand such type of use_Never install it
directly over interior kitchen carpeting.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for the
type of gas (natural or LP), that is to be used.
Your range can be converted for use with either
type of gas, See the installation Instructions_
WARNING: These adjustments must be made by
a qualified service technician in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction°
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes responsi-
bility for the conversion.
