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 satisfactorv oneration.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when usino the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
I
-----sJ
. FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE
HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
. FOR YOUR SAFETY .
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. OPEN WINDOWS.
2. DON’T TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.
3. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES.
4. IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. REFER TO ?HIS MANUAL FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONSULT A QUALIFIED I&TALLER, SERVICE AGENCY, MANUFACTURER (DEALER) OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.
1. Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the range be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to
the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. If needed, the range must also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.
; !. 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 rear corners and verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged. See Installation Instructions for further details.
3. 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
range. 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,
4. DO NOT operate the range if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.
5. DO NOT use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
6. DO NOT attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. Personal injury could result.
7. Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.
8. DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a surface
burner and you could be burned.
9. DO NOT touch surface burners, areas near burners or interior surfaces 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.
10. Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boil-overs and spill-overs. Heavy splattering or spill-overs left on a
range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.
11. 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.
12. 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. They could catch on fire.
13. Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
14. DO NOT use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.
15. DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause injury.
16. Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around
cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-overs immediately.
17. 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 multipurpose dry chemical or foam­type extinguisher.
18. Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.

19. Make sure surface burners are off when you are finished, and when you are not watching.
20. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
21. Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
22. DO NOT store flammable materials
on or near the range. They could explode or burn.
23. DO NOT store things children might
want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
24. 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.
25. NEVER use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.
26. Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.
27. Keep range vents unobstructed.
28. Clean your range regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this manual.
29. Be sure all range parts are cool before cleaning.
30. 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.
31. 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.
32. 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.
33. Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the range.
