ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Failure
to obey the warnings or installation instructions in this section could result in property damage, death, or
serious injury:
• The range or slide-in must be completely separated and/or sealed from other air moving or airconsuming devices such as, but not limited to, furnaces, microwave ovens, clothes dryers, cooling fans,
and doors or drawers in common cabinets. Failure to do so can affect the appliance(s) combustion air
supply by creating either a negative or positive dra.
• Do not use matches, candles, or other sources of ignition to test fittings and gas lines for leaks.
• Do not use a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the range or slide-in, as ignition and
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance could occur.
• Direct current electrical supply conductors must be provided with strain relief at the range or slide-in.
5.1 Installing The Range Or Slide-In

6 OPERATION
BURN, FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Failure to obey the
following warnings could result in damage, a burn hazard, possible explosion, carbon monoxide buildup,
serious injury, or death:
• Do not place more than 40 lbs (18 kg) on the grate while cooking.
• Do not place more than 20 lbs (9 kg) on the oven rack while cooking.
• Do not operate the range or slide-in during excessively windy conditions as this may cause a negative
or positive dra, which is air moving across the range or slide-in top that may blow out the burner flame
during use or move the flame inside of the range or slide-in.
• Use care when lighting a burner by hand. Burns could occur if the burner lights unexpectedly.
• Verify that there is a sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any burner. Air in the line will
significantly delay the burner ignition and a burner may light unexpectedly as the air in the line clears
out and is replaced by LP gas; this unexpected ignition may cause an explosion or burns.
• If any burner or the oven pilot should unexpectedly extinguish, turn all knobs off and wait five minutes
before attempting to re-light the burner or oven pilot.
• Do not attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
• Do not use the oven as a storage area or space heater.
• Extinguish all pilots when refueling or traveling.
• Do not store flammable or combustible material on, in, or near the range or slide-in or in the cabinets
above, or above and adjacent to, the range or slide-in. Do not use the oven as a storage area. While
using the range or slide-in, frequently check the temperature of contents within the cabinet areas above
the range or slide-in.
• To avoid a carbon monoxide poisoning hazard, do not cover the oven vent openings while the oven is
in operation. Do not cover the ventilation holes in the oven broiler shelf (above oven burner) or cooking
times will vary from normal and food may become burned or undercooked.
• Do not operate the range or slide-in if it is damaged or not working properly.
• Do not touch burners, burner grates, areas near burners, inner surfaces of the oven, the oven door, the
wire rack, or any utensils inside the oven, during and aer use, as burns may occur. Do not let clothing
or other flammable materials contact these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool, as they may
ignite.
• Never leave burners unattended when in use, as pan contents may boil over, resulting in smoke or a
grease spill that may ignite.
• Because grease is flammable, never allow grease to collect around top burners or on the range or slidein surface. Wipe up any grease spills immediately. Never use water on grease fires, and never pick up
a flaming pan. Smother a flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid or cookie sheet. Flaming grease outside
of the pan can be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• Do not heat unopened containers as they could explode.
