5 IMPORTANT SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and
soot, caused primarily by the imperfect combustion of natural or LP gas.
Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize imperfect combustion. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
y Make sure your range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.
y Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded
outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this range.
y DO NOT use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the electrical power cord to prevent
fire hazard or electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.
y To prevent poor air circulation, place the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations.
y DO NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically mentioned in this manual. All other ser-
vices should be referred to a qualified technician.
y Make sure that all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage
should the packaging material ignite.
y Make sure your range is properly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that
is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the installation instructions.
WARNING
These adjustments must be done by a qualified service technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property dam-
age. The qualified agency performing these adjustments assumes responsibility for the conversion.
y After using your range for a long time, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this
kind of use.
y NEVER install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over inte-
rior kitchen carpeting.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be placed in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on
the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
y DO NOT leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.
y DO NOT let anyone climb, stand or hang on the oven door, warming drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
