Safety Precautions - GE JGRP20 Owner's Manual

WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
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
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the oven gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
s
Have your oven installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas oven
installers or service technicians.
s
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your oven unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
s
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the oven before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
s
Do not touch the interior surface of the
oven. These surfaces may be hot enough
to burn even though they are dark in color.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven
vent openings, surfaces near the opening
and crevices around the door.
Remember: The inside surfaces of an oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
s
Be sure your oven is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your oven can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
Instructions.
WARNING:
s
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 responsibility for the conversion.
s
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
s
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where an oven is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
s
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door or storage drawer.
