Important safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with
any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed
to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage where using the range, follow basic precautions,
Including the following:
WARNING: lf the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion could result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l
Do not try to light any appliance.
l
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
l
lmmedlately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s Instructions.
l
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
Genera I
l
Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must be
properly connected to the proper gas
supply and checked for leaks. The range
must also be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
l
Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and
soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these
substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
l
Do not store things children might want
above the range. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
l
Do not leave chikiren alone or unattended
in area where the range is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
l
Do not operate the range if it is damaged
or not working properly.

l
Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l
Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power
failure.
l
Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l
Do not touch surface burners, areas
near surface burners or interior surfaces
of oven. Areas near surface burners and
interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface
burners, areas near surface burners or
interiir surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, the oven door and
window, could also become hot enough
to cause bums.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch an open flame and you
could be burned.
. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line area
around surface burners, oven bottom, or
any other part of the range. Use alumi-
num foil only as recommended in this
manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When using the cooktop
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and @lovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
4
1 Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of bums, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
b Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
D Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
b Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
b Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
Care and cleaning
l
Do not clean door heat seal. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the
seal. Clean only parts recommended in
this Use and Care Guide.
l
Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
l
Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Roper Distributor or
Qualified Agency.
l
Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
range before servicing the range.
. Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five
minutes for the gas odor to disappear
before relighting burner. If gas odor is
still present, see safety note on page 3.
Failure to follow these precautions
