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:

DO NOT TRY TO LIGHT ANY APPLIANCE.

DO NOT TOUCH ANY ELECTRICAL SWlTCH; DO NOT USE ANY PHONE IN YOUR BUILDING.

IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER FROM A NEIGHBOR’S PHONE. FOLLOW THE GAS SUPPLIER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

INSTALLATlON AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALlFlED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR

g;ipunASafety Instructions

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.

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.

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.

Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly.

Do not use the range 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. Reset oven controls to the off position in the event of a power failure.

Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.

Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause

injury.

Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

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.

Never leave surface burners

unattended at high heat settings. A

boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite.

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

on or near the range. The fumes can create an explosion and/or fire

hazard.

Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

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.

Do not use the oven for storage.

Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.

Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

Clean your range regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this manual.

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 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.

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.

Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the range.
