IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this range must conform with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1--1atest edition when installed in the
United States. When installed in Canada, installation must
conform with CAN/CGA-B149.1 and CAN/CGA-B149.2.
This range has been design certified by CSA International.
As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there
are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will
find them in the Owner's Guide., read it carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified installer or service technician.
• This range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSl/NFPA
No .70--latest edition when installed in the United
States. When installed in Canada, this range must be
electrically grounded in accordance with CSA Standard
C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. See Grounding
Instructions on page 5.
• Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering,
make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at
least 90°F above room temperature without
shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the
range over carpeting unless you place an insulating
pad or sheet of 1/4-inch thick plywood between the
range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the
oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower
front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot
while the oven is in operation. This range requires fresh
air for proper burner combustion.
Never leave children alone or unattended
in the area where an appliance is in use. As children
grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Never leave the oven door open when the range is
unattended.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors
or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries
and can also cause damage to the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously
burned climbing on the range to reach items.
• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates
a potentially hazardous situation.
• Never use your range for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a
programmable timing operation.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before
self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow
the precleaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.
• Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS
NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the
cooktop.
DO NOT MAKE ANYATTEMPTTO OPERATE
THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL
POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL OVEN CONTROLS TO "OFF"
IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE.
The electric ignitor will automatically re-ignite the oven
burner when power resumes if the oven thermostat
control was left in the "ON" position.
When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the
surface burners will continue to operate.
During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with
a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then slowly
turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
