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 when
using the range, follow basic
precautions,
including
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion may result causing death, personal injury, or
property damage.
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
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.
INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.
Important Safety Instructions
Continued
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 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
can cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Properly adjusted burners with a blue, rather
than a yellow, flame will minimize incom-
plete combustion. Venting with a hood or an
open window will further minimize exposure.
l
WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping
the appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is installed
properly, shine a flashlight under range
toward left rear corner and verify that the
anti-tip bracket is engaged. See Installation
Instructions for further details.
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
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
interior 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, and the oven door
and window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid boil-
overs 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 pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on surface burners may result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a pot holder. 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.
