General
' Install or locate the range only in accor­
dance 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.
’ Gas fuels and their use in appliances
can cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and
soot, primarily from incomplete combus­
tion. Significant exposure to these
substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combus­
tion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
