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.
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 LIQUIDS IN THE VlClNlTY
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 SWlTCH; DO NOT
USE ANY PHONE IN YOUR BUILDING.
l
IMMEDIATELY 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.
INSTALLATlON AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED
BY A QUALlFlED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR
THE GAS SUPPLIER.
g;ipunASafety Instructions
l
Install or locate the range only in
accordance 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 suppfy and
grounded.
l
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
tipping of the appliance, the
appliance must be secured by
properly installed anti-tip bracket.
To check if the bracket is installed
properly, shine a flashlight under
range toward left rear corner and
verii that anti-tip bracket is
engaged. See Installation Instructions for further details.
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 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.
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 wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a hot
surface burner and you could be
burned.
l
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE
BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
BURNERS OR INTERIOR SUR-
FACES OF OVEN. Areas near
surface burners and interior
surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact
surface burners, areas near surface
burners or interior surfaces of oven.
Other surfaces of the range may
become hot enough to cause
burns; such as, the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, the oven
door and window.
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and
avoid boilovers and spillovers.
Heavy splattering or spillovers left
on a range can ignite and burn you.
Pan size is especially important in
deep fat frying.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface burners. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials, and
spills due to bumping of the pan.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on surface
burners may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch
surface burners. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It
could catch on fire.
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 ranges without breaking
due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Do not use decorative covers or
trivets over the surface burners.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or
in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range 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 muhipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
l
Never leave surface burners
unattended at high heat settings. A
boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
l
Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
l
Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l
Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
can create an explosion and/or fire
hazard.
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 children 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 use the oven for storage.
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.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Clean your range regularly. See
care and cleaning instructions in
this manual.
l
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.
l
Do not use oven cleaners on
continuous-cleaning ovens. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
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
Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the range.
