Important Safety 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.
ÂWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIOUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
■ DO NOT TRY TO LIGHT ANY APPLIANCE.
■ DO NOT TOUCH ANY ELECTRICAL SWITCH; DO NOT USE ANY PHONE IN
YOUR BUILDING.
■ IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER FROM A NEIGHBOR’S PHONE.
FOLLOW THE GAS SUPPLIER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
■ 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.
1. Install or locate the oven only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the oven be
installed by a qualified installer.
The oven must be properly
connected to the proper gas supply
and checked for leaks. The oven
must also be properly coimected to
electrical supply and grounded.
2. 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 can
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.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
4. Do not use the oven for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
binned or injured, or a fire could
start.
5. Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure.
Personal injury could result.
6. Use the oven only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
7. Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the oven.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface and you could be
burned.
8. Do not touch interior siufaces of
oven. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause bums.
During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact interior surfaces
of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become
hot enough to cause bums; such
as, the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the
oven door and the oven door
window.
9. Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in bums from steam. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for a
potholder. It could catch on fire.
10. Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause bums and
container particles could cause
injury.
11. Grease is flammable and should be
handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it.
12. 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-ti^
extinguisher.
13. Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
food.
14. Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool.
15. Do not store flammable materials
in or near the oven or in the
storage drawer. They could
explode or bum.
16. Do not store things children might
want above the oven. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
17. Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
oven is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the oven. They could be
burned or injured.
18. Never use a match or other flame
to look for a gas leak. Explosion
and injury could result.
19. Know where your main gas shut
off valve is located.
