IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Sate Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers

potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide,

forrntildehyde

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

When You Get Your Range

●

Have the installer show you the location of the

in accordance

W’ARNING:

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.

After prolonged use of

range> high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

●

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

tlammable

materials contact surface units, areas

nearby surface units or 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.

●

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this guide.

All

other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

●

Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only.

Do not remove the round

prong from the

plug.

If in doubt about the

groundin&

grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

●

When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

●

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

●

Keep all plastics away from top burners.

●

Do not leave any items on the cooktop.

The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

●

To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

●

If you smell gas,

turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

“

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

●

Stand away from the range when opening the

door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

“

Keep oven free from grease buildup.

●

Place oven shelf in desired position while oven

is cool.

●

Pulling out shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

Don’t heat unopened food containers. Pressure
