SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
Thank you for choosing your new DCS Professional
Range. Our products are designed to be safe and
reliable when properly cared for and used reason-
ably. When using this restaurant caliber appliance,
use it with extreme care, as this type appliance
provides intense heat and can increase the accident
potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed
when using kitchen appliances, including the fol-
lowing:
Read this Care and Use Manual thoroughly before
using your new appliance. This will help to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing.
Follow the installation instructions which came with
this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician
install and ground this appliance before using.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply
shutoff valve is located so you will know how and
where to turn off the gas to the appliance.
If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper
job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak
and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are
not completely tight. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-
it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be
found with the burner control in the ON position
and for your protection it must be done by a quali-
fied service technician.
If by some chance a burner goes out and gas
escapes, open a window or a door to let the room
air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until
the gas has had time to dissipate. Follow the
instructions on page 1, “What to do if You Smell
Gas”.
This appliance has been factory assembled for natur-
al gas. It should be correctly adjusted by a qualified
service technician or installer for the type of gas that
is used.
Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance
unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Never “open door broil” with children nearby.
They could quickly come into contact with a hot
oven inner surface, causing severe burns.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or
stand on any part of an appliance.
Children in walkers, or children crawling can be
attracted to the round oven door handle and may
grab and open the oven door. This can result in
injury from the door being pulled open on a child,
or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to chil-
dren above or at the back of any appliance. Children
could be seriously injured if they should climb onto
the appliance to reach these items.
Never store anything in the oven or on the
cooktop
. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic
items may melt or ignite and other types of items
could be ruined.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance
or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are
quite flammable and may catch on fire.
If the appliance is near a window
be certain the cur-
tains do not blow
over or near the cooktop burners;
they could catch on fire.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners
OFF, then smother fire with baking soda or use a
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
