Important Safety Instructions
Continued
• 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 connected to electrical supply
and grounded.
• Gas fuels and combustion can result in
potential exposure to chemicals known to
cause cancer or reproductive harm. For
example, benzene is a chemical which is a
part of the gas supplied to the oven. It is
consumed in the flame during combustion.
However, exposure to a small amount of
benzene is possible if a gas leak occurs.
Formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot
are by-products of incomplete combustion.
Properly adjusted burners with a bluish
rather than a yellow flame will minimize
incomplete combustion.
• Do not operate the oven if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged.
• Do not use the oven for warming or heating
the room. Persons could be burned or
injured, or a fire could start.
• Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury could
result.
• Use the oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
• 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.
• Do not touch interior surfaces of oven.
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 interior
surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
oven may become hot enough to cause
burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the oven
door and the oven door window.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch
on fire.
' Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles could
cause injury.
' Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to
handle it. Wipe spill-overs immediately.
' 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.
' Use care when opening oven door. Let hot
air or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
' Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location while oven is cool.
' Do not store flammable materials in or near
the oven. They could explode or burn.
• Do not store things children might want
above the oven. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
• 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.
> Never use a match or other flame to look for
a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
> Know where your main gas shut off valve is
located.
' Keep oven vents unobstructed.
' Clean your oven regularly. See care and
cleaning instructions in this manual.
> Be sure all oven parts are cool before
cleaning.
> Do not clean door 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.
> Do not repair or replace any part of the
oven unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
> Disconnect the electrical supply before
servicing the oven.
