Maintenance and Safety Tips for the Propane Range:
• Burner flame should be a blue color, indicating complete combus-
tion. If not, have the unit serviced by a qualified technician.
• Do not cover the oven bottom with foil. Air circulation will be
restricted.
• Never use gas ranges or ovens for heating purposes.
• Always have pot handles turned inward.
• Ensure children understand never to turn or play with the knobs on
the front of the propane gas range.
Maintenance and Safety Tips for the Propane Water Heater:
• Test the operations of the temperature and pressure relief valve.
Maintain setting at no more than 210° F. to reduce the chance of
hot water scalding.
• Keep flammable substances away from the water heater. Do not
store items close to it as this may block the airflow the water
heater needs to operate properly.
• At the first indication of incomplete combustion (yellow flame
instead of a blue flame or soot is present) call a service technician
immediately. Improper combustion can cause carbon monoxide
buildup, which is potentially fatal!
