6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
 This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handing.
WARNING
 NEVER use your range as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and over-
heating of the oven.
 NEVER wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items placed in cabinets
over the range. Flammable materials could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe
burns.
 DO NOT place flammable materials in the oven or near the cooktop.
 DO NOT place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
 DO NOT allow cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the range.
 DO NOT use water on grease fires. Never touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
A grease fire can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flame in the upper oven or lower oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
 DO NOT use the oven or the drawer for storage.
 Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them.
 NEVER block the vents (air holes) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and
at the bottom of the range.
 NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing
a fire hazard.
 NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the
burner and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
 Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.
 Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, result-
ing in serious burns or other injury.
 Gas leaks may occur in our system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas sup-
pliers recommend you to purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the gas detector
manufacturer’s instructions.
 Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
 DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish of parts.
 To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use.
 DO NOT attempt to open or close the door or operate the oven until the door is properly installed.
 NEVER place fingers between the hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will
slam shut against the oven frame and could injure your fingers.
CAUTION
 DO NOT use the oven for storing food or cookware.
 To prevent damage to the oven door, do not attempt to open the door when Lock is displayed.
 DO NOT place excessive weight or stand on an open door. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door, or injure the
user.
 DO NOT use delayed baking for highly perishable foods such as dairy products, pork, poultry, or seafood.
WARNING
 Disconnect electrical supply before servicing the appliance.
 NEVER use appliance door as a step stool or seat, as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious injuries.
 This product should not be installed below ventilation type hood systems that directs air in a downward direction.
Doing so may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas burners resulting in personal injury and may affect the cook-
ing performance of the unit.
