Safety Practices for Servicer
Safe and satisfactory operation of gas ranges depends
upon its design and proper installation. However, there is
one more area of safety to be considered:
Servicing
Listed below are some general precautions and safety
practices which should be followed in order to protect the
service technician and consumer during service and after
service has been completed.
1. Gas smell—Extinguish any and all open flames and
open windows.
2. Turn gas off—Service range with gas turned off
unless testing requires it.
3. Checking for gas leaks—Never check for leaks with
any kind of open flame. Soap and water solution
should be used for this purpose. Apply solution to
suspected area and watch for air bubbles which
indicates a leak. Correct leaks by tightening fittings,
screws, connections, applying approved compound,
or installing new parts.
4. Using lights—Use a hand flashlight when servicing
ranges or checking for gas leaks. Electric switches
should not be operated where leaks are suspected.
This will avoid creating arcing or sparks which could
ignite the gas. If electric lights are already turned on,
they should not be turned off.
5. Do not smoke—Never smoke while servicing gas
ranges, especially when working on piping that
contains or has contained gas.
6. Check range when service is completed—After
servicing, make visual checks on electrical
connection, and check for gas leaks. Inform
consumer of the condition of range before leaving.
7. Adhere to all local regulations and codes when
performing service.
• Ensure range is correctly adjusted by a qualified
service technician or installer for the type of gas
(Natural or LP). Some ranges can be converted for use
with Natural or LP gas.
• With prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures
could result. Many floor coverings will not be able to
withstand this kind of use. Never install range over vinyl
tile or linoleum that cannot withstand high
temperatures. Never install range directly over
carpeting.

service.
Oven Safety ValveOven valve is designed to be a safety valve. Two basic designs are used in gas
ranges.
Hydraulic type valve
Electric type valve
Both types are safety valves because they are indirectly operated by the oven
thermostat, which controls a pilot flame or electric ignitor, to open and close the oven
valve.
These products use the Electric Type Valve.
Grounded Oven FrameGround prong on power cord is connected to the frame, usually a green lead fastened
by a screw. In addition, any part or component capable of conducting an electric
current is grounded by its mounting.
If any ground wire, screw, strap, nut, etc. is removed for service, or any reason, it
must be reconnected to its original position with original fastener before the appliance
is put into operation again.
Failure to do so can create a possible shock hazard.
