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.

ALL APPLIANCES

1. Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

2. Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the

Room.

3. Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be

alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4. Wear Proper Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using appliance.

5. User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

6. Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials

should not be stored in oven.

7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or

flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8. Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Receiving Oven

• Installer needs to show consumer location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off.

• Authorized servicer must install the range, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Adjustments and service should be performed only by authorized servicer.

• Plug range into a 120–volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about grounding of the home electrical system, it is consumers 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.

• Insure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

OVEN

1. Use Care When Opening Door—Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3. Keep Oven Vents Ducts Unobstructed.

4. Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack is removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
