SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid personal injury or property damage,
please read and follow these important safety
precautions.

1. Before any maintenance or repairs are per­formed, disconnect the appliance from the elec­tric supply.

2. Your appliance should be installed by a quali­fied gas installation technician. Have the tech­nician show you the exact location of the gas
shutoff valve on the incoming gas line so you
know how to turn off the gas if necessary.

3. In the event of a power failure, do not attempt
to operate the appliance or light any of the
burners. This is a gas fired appliance that em­ploys electrical components such as the ignition
and safety devices.

4. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance unless specifically instructed to
do so by this manual. In-warranty service must
be performed by an authorized service agency.

5. Do not store flammable materials on or near the
appliance. Keep the appliance area clean and
free of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids. A check
before each use to determine that no hazardous
materials are in the area is recommended.

9. Additional care should be exercised if your
appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. Dur­ing heavy or continued use this shelf may be­come hot. Do not place combustible materials
or plastics on this shelf.

10. Do not store items of interest to children
above the appliance. Children, as well as
adults, should never be allowed to sit, stand,
or climb on any part of the appliance. Serious
injury may occur.

11. Never leave the appliance unattended during
use. Boil-overs may occur, causing spills
which may ignite.

12. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. It is recommended you pur­chase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam­type fire extinguisher for your home. Store it
in close proximity to your appliance.

13. If you are flaming liquor or other spirits, and
you appliance is installed under a vent hood,
TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft created
could cause the flames to spread out of con­trol.

14. For your safety, never use your appliance or
any other cooking appliance as a space heater
to warm or heat the room.

a guarantee of operation. Children should not
be left alone or unattended in the kitchen while
the appliance is in use.

7. This appliance should not be operated without a
properly sized and operational ventilation hood.

15. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot­holders on hot surfaces may result in steam
burns. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
burner areas. Do not use a towel or other
bulky material as a potholder.

• This appliance has been designed to be in-

stalled directly against rear walls and side
base cabinets. It cannot be installed di­rectly against tall side cabinets, side walls,
tall appliances or base cabinets extending
beyond 24 inches [610 mm].

• Side trims must be at least 11/16 inch [17.5

mm] above the adjoining counter top sur­faces.

• Any openings in the back wall or the floor

of the installation site must be sealed.

• Each gas appliance shall be located with

respect to building construction and other
equipment to permit access to the appli­ance. Such access and clearance is neces­sary for cleaning and servicing.

• Do not push against the edges or sides of

any appliance in an attempt to slide it into
position. Although all metal parts are de­burred during the manufacturing process,
serious injury could occur if the appliance
were to move suddenly while being posi­tioned. We recommend you use gloves
during the installation process.

• For optimum performance the appliance

should be leveled during installation. A
carpenter type level should be placed on the
unit three ways: side to side; front to back;
diagonally.

•

If the appliance is installed in an island or
